SCOOP:
More craziness and weaponized justice in DC today as it relates to the trials of J6 defendants.
Reliable sources confirmed to me that during today’s Jury selection in the case of J6 defendant John George Todd llI, US District Judge Beryl Howell singled out a potential juror in a January 6th Case and asked them, “Are you offended by what happened that day? Because true patriotic Americans don't do what they did on January 6th 2021.”
How can a jury be selected if the judge is poisoning the jury pool during jury selection!
J6’ers cannot get a fair trial in D.C. when even the Judges cannot keep their political biases to themselves.
Totally inappropriate behavior by US District Judge Beryl Howell, who has a history of making biased comments in favor of the Democrats.
In 2023, Congresswoman @EliseStefanik filed an official ethics complaint against Judge Howell after she gave an acceptance speech at the Women’s White Collar Defense Association awards banquet on Nov. 28 in Washington, D.C.
Rep. Elise Stefanik said Howell’s award acceptance speech implied a criticism of President Donald Trump for “authoritarianism” and that her speech blamed Trump for what she calls “encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.”
Stefanik’s complaint, which was submitted to the D.C. Court of Appeals in 2023, cited Canon 2B of the Code of Judicial Conduct in saying, “Judge Howell’s speech is plainly inappropriate, consisting of partisan statements, election interference and improper extrajudicial statements while criminal cases are pending.”
Canon 2B says, “A judge should avoid lending the prestige of judicial office to advance the private interests of the judge or others.”
Stefanik’s 2023 complaint also said Howell “promoted the Democrat political campaign theme that the reelection of Donald Trump equates to America choosing authoritarianism. This is conduct unbecoming of a federal judge.”
Judge Howell is one of the main judges overseeing the J6 cases in DC where J6 defendants have all been DENIED venue changes.
@RepStefanik please get in touch with me, and I will connect you with the people who witnessed this in court today.
