Beryl Howell is an Obama Judge. She’s also the Chief Judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia. She supervised Mueller’s Russia Hoax grand jury. In 2019 she ruled that the Dem House Judiciary Committee was a “judicial proceeding” that could have access to Mueller’s GJ materials. Is there anything else I need to tell you to convince you that she’s a liberal’s liberal?
Here’s what she did today with regard to the January 6 Event cases:
Prosecutors Lost A Fight To Keep A Set Of Jan. 6 Capitol Surveillance Videos Under Seal
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday released a new collection of Capitol surveillance videos from Jan. 6 after a judge ordered them to do so, rejecting the government’s argument that making the clips public could threaten the security of the complex.
The disclosure marks a setback for the US Capitol Police and the US attorney’s office in their efforts to control how much footage from the Capitol’s closed-circuit video (CCV) system gets out. In the latest case, prosecutors argued that revealing the location and vantage points of more cameras could help “bad actors” trying to plan some future assault on the building. A judge concluded that argument was too speculative, however, and that the public had a strong interest in seeing videos that formed the basis for a recent plea deal.
US District Chief Judge Beryl Howell ordered the videos released in response to a request from a media coalition (including BuzzFeed News) that is petitioning judges on a rolling basis for videos that prosecutors have relied on in Jan. 6 cases. Howell’s decision isn’t binding on other judges in the US District Court for the District of Columbia presiding over Capitol riot prosecutions, but it gives the media coalition a favorable ruling to point to in future fights.
Right. What reason would any DC judge have to cross a Chief Judge with the pedigree that I laid out above?
The clips cover a period of about 15 minutes on Jan. 6 — between 2:25 p.m. and 2:40 p.m. — in different locations inside the Capitol. They show rioters streaming through open doors and broken windows at an entrance on the Senate side; crowds of people walking into the Crypt, standing in a large crowd, and eventually dispersing; and, finally, rioters exiting as US Capitol Police officers in riot gear gather at the Senate entrance point to stand guard as a mob that’s outside looks in through the broken windows.
Another day, another setback for the regime’s “insurrection” narrative. And it looks especially bad coming at the hands of Howell.
How badly do these judges have to think the DOJ is doing that they’re actually hedging their bets?
Here is what Howell said in August:
“Where we have Congress acting, appropriating all this money due directly to the events of January 6th, I have found the damage amount of less than $1.5 million—when all of us American taxpayers are about to foot the bill for close to half a billion dollars—a little bit surprising,” she said."

A liberal's liberal? Sure, though she may be a Severus Snape.
