Good day all. One of the first actions by President Trump once he was sworn in was issuing pardons to most of the people involved with the January 6th, 2020 protest. Very few of the people involved committed any acts of violence and those individuals are still being reviewed.
Most of the people charged, convicted or were still awaiting to even be seen by a judge after years of incarceration, were grateful for the pardons. One group has shown their displeasure, and loudly. These were the judges, almost all of them Obama judges. Here are the details from America’s source of Fake News, CNN:
The federal judges in Washington, DC, who handled hundreds of cases from January 6, 2021, are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s mass clemency for convicted rioters, rebuking the newly pardoned as “poor losers” and memorializing the “blood, feces, and terror” from the US Capitol attack.
Now the story’s tone shows why CNN is considered nothing more than a propaganda rag for the Deep State and Democrat Party. They also, inadvertently, show why these judges need to be removed from the bench.
Tanya Chutkan, the judge who oversaw Trump’s 2020 election federal criminal case, wrote some of the most graphic descriptions as she dismissed one of the pending rioter cases before her on Wednesday.
Dismissing the case, Chutkan wrote, “cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake. And it cannot repair the jagged breach in America’s sacred tradition of peacefully transitioning power.”
I seem to recall some pretty serious violence in Washington on January 20th, 2017. Cars destroyed, businesses looted and vandalized, threats made. I don’t seem to recall anyone actually being arrested, or if they were, getting more than a slap on the wrist. Those thugs were actual threats and did real harm. Most of the J6 people were actually let into the building by the Capital Police and were escorted around.
What happened next was a legal travesty. The Biden Maladministration decided to overcharge everyone on a rather flimsy charge and rather then ask some questions on this, Chutkan and the others actively aided in what we now know was a horrible miscarriage of justice.
Most of the people should have, at worst, been fined and sent on their way. Instead, many were locked up for years without access to a lawyer, or having their cases heard. It’s a miracle that no one decided they had nothing to lose and go after Chutkan and the other federal judges.
Their language also serves as a political statement following Trump’s sweeping pardons, standing in stark contrast to the president and other Republicans who are making celebrities of former prisoners.
These idiots seem to have forgotten the First Rule of Holes. When you find yourself in one, STOP Digging!
Trump, in his executive order late Monday, said he was ending “a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years” to begin a “process of national reconciliation.”
We have seen just how badly treated the defendants were by the corrupt Garland DoJ and the courts. Defendants were denied exculpatory evidence showing that rather then rampaging through the halls of congress, most just acted like tourists, to the point of staying between rope lines.
There were other people who never even went into the building who were arrested and charged. Why? The Feds were using cellphone data to locate people at the protest. Never mind that this data is not that accurate. (It’s good enough to get where you’re going, but it can be hundreds of feet or even yards off) You and the other Federal DC judges made sure that the defendants would not get a fair trial.
Now there were several cases underway that the Trump DoJ is dropping. Since the defendants haven’t been convicted, they shouldn’t need a pardon. The DoJ lawyers were instructed to put forward a motion to dismiss the charges with Prejudice. These corrupt judges weren’t having that.
Howell, like several of the other judges in DC’s federal court this week, agreed to dismiss pending Capitol riot cases because Trump’s Justice Department no longer wants to prosecute them.
Like they have a choice in the matter. It’s not like the Defendants were asking for the dismissal, this was the prosecution. If they don’t want to go forward, then the case is done. However, two of these judicial thugs seem to think they are the final power in Court.
But Chutkan and Howell refused to grant the Justice Department its request for dismissal “with prejudice” for three Capitol riot defendants, including one who was a Proud Boys extremist group chapter leader. Instead, the two judges simply dismissed three rioters’ cases, leaving open the possibility charges could be brought again later.
I suspect they are hoping that the Democrats will retake the White House in 2028 and will re-weaponize the DoJ and go after the party’s political enemies.
“In hundreds of cases like this one over the past four years, judges in this district have administered justice without fear or favor,” Chutkan also wrote. “The historical record established by those proceedings must stand, unmoved by political winds, as a testament and as a warning.”
I honestly do not know what the procedure is in this situation. This isn’t like the original Hunter Biden case where the DoJ tried to cook up a sweetheart deal and the sitting judge looked at and basically went “WTF, Over?” The new DoJ leadership has looked at the cases and determined that there was never any “There” there. As for you laughable comment that the proceedings must stand, unmoved by political winds? Pull the other finger. It has a bell on it.
It’s also possible some judges on the DC federal bench choose to delay or effectively hold up the ending of some of the 300 pending rioters’ cases. The judges’ case dismissals have trickled in gradually since prosecutors began asking for them after Trump signed his clemency order, and not all of the pending Capitol riot cases have been dismissed yet.
While the presidential clemency is powerful and led to convicted January 6 rioters’ release from federal prisons quickly this week, the president doesn’t have the sole authority to wipe away cases where alleged rioters still await trial or sentencing.
Again, I do not have the legal background to really comment on this. However, in this country, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. Those who have not been convicted are, by definition, innocent. What this looks like is that vindictive Leftard Progressive judges are going to continue trying to railroad people.
Senior Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly noted that a federal court has the authority to tell prosecutors to provide a statement of reasons and facts before a judge dismisses a case, though neither she nor other judges have taken that step themselves.
Kollar-Kotelly also recorded her sharpest thoughts on the Capitol riot cases, “for posterity.”
Oh this should be interesting.
“Dismissal of charges, pardons after convictions, and commutations of sentences will not change the truth of what happened on January 6, 2021,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote, noting the events have been preserved through “thousands of contemporaneous videos, transcripts of trials, jury verdicts, and judicial opinions analyzing and recounting the evidence through a neutral lens.”
“Those records are immutable and represent the truth, no matter how the events of January 6 are described by those charged or their allies,” the judge wrote. “What role law enforcement played that day and the heroism of each officer who responded also cannot be altered or ignored.”
You mean shooting an unarmed woman? Firing, without warning on protesters with “Less than lethal” ammunition who weren’t actually doing anything but just standing around? Or the woman who was beaten to death by the police? That heroism?
The 4th Circuit controls all cases that deal with Washington D.C. This court is made up primarily of hard left Obama and Biden judges and was deliberately stacked with them by Obama and Harry Reid as a way to suppress conservatives seeking a redress of grievances through the courts. These people need to be removed from the bench.
Granted, impeaching them will be next to impossible given the make up o congress, but there may be other ways. Perhaps just dissolving the entire court and “Retiring” the judges? This would be a congressional action. There may be other ways to remove these judicial tyrants from their current positions as well. If you have any details on how this could be done, feel free to comment. Without question, there needs to be an accounting for judges who are abusing their authority, and people like Chutkan are the reason why.
