In Feb 2021, then DC chief judge Beryl Howell created a special framework for judges to use in determining pre trial detention for J6ers—meaning keep them behind bars awaiting trial..

What became known as the “Chrestman factors” turned due process and standard bail rules on their head. Even nonviolent J6ers charged with conspiracy or obstruction with no criminal record could be held in a federal prison—often hauled cross country to the DC gulag—because as part of the “mob that attacked the Capitol,” they represented a danger to their community.

A J6er’s release was not considered on a case by case basis—which is normally required—but rather how big of a role in the “insurrection” (how Jeb Boasberg describes it) the defendant played.

Howell now claims she is the victim of a smear campaign by Trump’s DOJ.

...

Howell—despite a long record of leading the lawfare against the president, his lawyers, his campaign associates, his WH staff, and his voters—is doing it again by gutting his Perkins Coie exec order and refusing to relinquish the case.

...

Like a typical bully—Howell is now backtracking on her past (and recent) statements and decisions related to the president.

She insists her speech at a 2023 DC dinner hosted and populated with Trump saboteurs incl Loretta Lynch and Lisa Monaco was “apolitical” and “nonpartisan.”

Except she clearly referenced the president, who was the main subject of the book she cited. (Cox Richardson throughout her book argues Trump and his supporters are authoritarians.)

She also described doubt about the 2020 election a “big lie” then bragged about throwing J6ers in federal prison to serve hard time for believing “conspiracy theories.”

In her lengthy order last week denying DOJ motion for her to recuse, Howell laughably claimed these clearly partisan remarks were merely “observations.”

A bully and a coward…

This is a violation of the defendants' constitutional rights.

We live in a country where constitutional rights have become privileges that judges finesse when they don't like people. This judge is a disgrace who should be impeached. She just makes stuff up, like most of them.

I hope she sees the inside of the jail so that she knows what she did.

The real villains in DOJs abusive prosecution of Trump, his allies, and his voters are the DC judges. And no one is more villainous than Beryl Howell, former chief judge appointed by Obama.

These are the same people that say that the rights of the illegals need to be tried individually.

Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, rejected the Trump DOJ’s motion to disqualify her from the Perkins Coie case.

She created group guilt. If you had any connection to J6, you were part of the guilty.

This is outrageous. How is Tom Fitton and DOJ not hopping all over this?

There is no longer any justice in DC.

I fear the table will have to be turned over before justice can be restored.

” . .And no one is more villainous than Beryl Howell, former chief judge appointed by Obama. . .”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Here is an article on a fake news website concerning said judge.

Fantasy . . . wishful thinking . . .

https://realrawnews.com/2025/03/jag-detains-another-radical-federal-judge/

” . . .White Hats have “detained” yet another radicalized Deep State Judge impeding the President’s mandate to make America great again and safe again, sources at JAG’s Pensacola offices told Real Raw News.

On Friday, JAG investigators visited the home of US District Judge for the District of Columbia Beryl Howell, who on March 26 refused a Trump administration request to recuse herself from a case wherein the President, via executive order, rescinded security clearances of employees of a law firm with ties to Democratic policy politics.

The President claimed the security revocations were necessary because Perkins Coie, the firm in question, was biased . . .”

This is why the DC Circuit needs to be dissolved. Congress can do that with a simple majority vote.

Boasbergs wiki ironically kind of explains the mindset

Resentments from youth in a Christian world coupled with family legacy of fear of pogroms and Nazis can make for a helluva a proactive woke globalist adult

State dept is full of these folks
