    Federal Judge Pissed at DOJ Over Jan. 6th Prosecutions

    This Federal Judge understands what happened on Jan. 6th!

    Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell of the District of Columbia tore into the DOJ for allowing rioter Jack Jesse Griffith to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of parading in the Capitol. Howell was beside herself, according to The Washington Post:

    “No wonder parts of the public in the U.S. are confused about whether what happened on January 6 at the Capitol was simply a petty offense of trespassing with some disorderliness, or shocking criminal conduct that represented a grave threat to our democratic norms,” Judge Beryl A. Howell said in court Thursday. “Let me make my view clear: The rioters were not mere protesters.”

    Judge Howell should be headed for the Supreme Court someday.

    The Biden department of Justice is certainly not trying to do these people any favor. There are a myriad of reasons why they may not want these cases to go to a jury trial. Without the case files in front of me I can only surmise as to the reasons.

    I see him as a wimp who does everything possible to do nothing so as not to step on anyone's toes. He keeps a low profile and will hold DOJ to the same standard.
