"Howell, the chief of U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and a 2010 Obama appointee, has implicitly encouraged Jan. 6 defendants to cooperate with congressional investigators. Howell and Chutkan have used their courtrooms to help force a national reckoning about Jan. 6."
"Chutkan, like Howell, has used her courtroom to reject efforts by defendants to minimize what occurred on Jan. 6. And she has twice in recent weeks delivered a sentence that exceeded what prosecutors had asked for in Jan. 6 cases."
“'There have to be consequences for participating in an attempted violent overthrow of the government, beyond sitting at home,' Chutkan as she delivered Mazzocco’s sentence. 'If Mr. Mazzocco walks away with probation and a slap on the wrist, that’s not going to deter anyone.'"
