Judge Beryl Howell Is the Judge Tasked with the Mueller Investigation
The Political Insider ^ | 8/10/17 | Jim E

Posted on 02/14/2020 1:06:33 AM PST by Libloather

Judge Beryl Howell could be the one person who ultimately decides the fate of President Trump. Have you ever heard of her?

She’s the judge who reportedly approved of Special Investigator Robert Mueller’s request for a grand jury to question Trump officials.

Howell was made a federal judge in 2010 by President Obama. She has extensive knowledge when it comes to cyber-security, so she understands some of the intricacies involved in tech-heavy cases. Her experience comes from working in the office of Senator Patrick Leahy and in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

**SNIP**

One former federal prosecutor is recommending that the president’s lawyers ask Howell to step aside. “Knowing that Chief Judge Howell, Andrew Weissman, and Loretta Lynch all spent their formative years together as young prosecutors in Brooklyn during a crime ridden period in New York, an attorney representing the President’s interests would be committing malpractice not to ask Chief Judge Howell to step aside and forgo ruling on crucial issues such as the validity of Executive Privilege for witness testimony or assertion of other privileges in this D.C. grand jury process,” he told the Daily Beast.

Some Trump supporters are already expressing skepticism over whether she can be an impartial judge in this case.

Wow. That’s a lot of power. If Trump isn’t careful, this judge could pave the way for impeachment and an end to his term.

Hussein judge.

“...She has extensive knowledge when it comes to cyber-security...”

Oh I’m sure she is an IT expert...from sort of understanding Microsoft Word while working in Leahy’s steno pool.

DC federal court chief judge: ‘Public criticism or pressure is not a factor’ after Trump ripped prosecutors for proposed sentence for Roger Stone

“The Judges of this Court base their sentencing decisions on careful consideration of the actual record in the case before them; the applicable sentencing guidelines and statutory factors; the submissions of the parties, the Probation Office and victims; and their own judgment and experience,” said DC District Court Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell. “Public criticism or pressure is not a factor.”

That statement would have real meaning except for one thing. Our trust in the DOJ right now is ZERO. This woman is a moron to make this statement in this environment. Ideological pressure is something she is already under the influence of and is apparently to retarded to recognize it.

Not a single leftist nominated judge can be impartial. It is a requirement for them to be activists in order to be nominated for any judgeship.
