Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of the federal district court in Washington, D.C., wants prosecutors to be tougher on Capitol riot defendants, and has asked why some have not been charged with more serious crimes.
Politico reported Monday that Howell, an appointee of Barack Obama, has suggested that rioters who were merely present in the Capitol should be charged with attempting to stop the certification of the Electoral College, despite the lack of evidence:
Beryl Howell, the chief judge of the federal court in Washington deluged with more than 550 prosecutions from the Capitol riot, raised questions about why some defendants were being permitted to resolve their criminal cases by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and why the amount of money prosecutors are seeking to recover through those plea deals was based on a relatively paltry estimate of about $1.5 million in damages caused by the rioters.
…Howell then grilled the prosecutor handling the case, Clayton O’Connor, about why prosecutors hadn’t insisted that [defendant Glenn] Croy admit as part of the plea that he was trying to block the electoral vote.
Bias on the bench!
The prosecutors are only presenting what they think they can convict on….based on the cheezy evidence that they possess!
Grounds for recusal to start with.
Lays the ground for appeal due to judicial prejudice.
Grounds for censure.
And finally, grounds for impeachment due to violation of oath (checks and balances); right and duty to charge lies with Executive Branch so he’s trying to subvert the Constitution.
Go get him.
What about the LT that killed the “WHITE” unarmed woman? What about Pelosi, Mayor of DC and all the others that refused to prepare after being warned?
Be Tougher on Democrats esp Pelosi !!!! Not the Innocent Trump Supporting Americans (Voters) !!!!
I vote for the Judge to be executed. Is that tough enough punishment for intolerance.
Doesn’t the Constitution call for separations of the branches of government? doesn’t she need to stay in her lane? and shut the fk up She needs to be removed She’s already convicting these innocent patriots, Anifta, black lives matter,soros funded marxist troops polesi, democrats they are the real cause of the theft of the election and jan 6 riots.
Judges should NOT be allowed to be Political (should be Illegal ) !!!! Obviously this one is !!!! Fire the Judge !!
