Afederal judge thrashed the Justice Department on Thursday for offering “petty offense” plea deals to Jan. 6 defendants who she said tarnished America’s reputation in the world and enabled violent rioters to threaten the peaceful transfer of power — even if they committed no violence themselves.....
Howell then made clear that she considered all participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach — which the Justice Department now estimates at 2,000 to 2,500 people — enablers of an assault against the republic.
“The damage to the reputation of our democracy, which is usually held up around the world … that reputation suffered because of Jan. 6,” Howell said, noting that the mob chased lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence into hiding, and sent staffers ducking under their desks for cover.....
Howell said there were indications that prosecutors had displayed “sort of an evolving, changing position” in their sentencing recommendations related to Jan. 6. But she noted that federal law requires judges to avoid unwarranted disparities when sentencing defendants for similar conduct.....
Howell noted that even if every rioter paid the $500, it would amount to about $300,000, which she called “barely a drop in the bucket.” She estimated that the total cost of the riot — based on government spending to reimburse law enforcement agencies and repair damage to the Capitol — exceeded $560 million.

She needs to be thrown off the case for bias.
And we are to expect an impartial trial from this judge?
Judge Beryl A. Howell is a Barak Obama appointee
Does sound like the judge has already made up her mind.
Commie Apparatchik.
Unconstitutional!
Bias? Heck she is completely deranged.
All brought to you by RINO-controlled state legislatures who refused to enforce voter ID because of their petty hatred of Trump.
If we had a functional and honest judiciary system, she’d be tossed out by late tomorrow morning.
And the piece of trash in Hollywood who threatened to kill Matt Gaetz and shoot his child in the head is let out on all of $ 20,000 bail.
If they go hard on them, the dependents are more likely to go to trial and a lot of inconveniences can happen in the process.
*Doesn’t know
Trump should’ve offered a blanket pardon to all of these people when he had the chance. Why he didn’t, I don’t know.
We better do something - and fast
Just doing her part to make the justice system corrupt. I bet she thinks it was fair to let the justice department official who lied to FISA court off almost Scott Free.
“she noted that federal law requires judges to avoid unwarranted disparities when sentencing defendants for similar conduct...”
Federal law also requires judges not to indulge in collective guilt or political persecution...
It was the second impeachment. If the Republicans joined with the RATs they could have prevented him from ever running again. That is how they controlled his pardons.
“Why he didn’t, I don’t know.”
Yeah, what were they going to do? Impeach him again?
She should look in a mirror if she wants to know who tarnished America.
