One of the worst J6 prosecutors has left the DOJ.
Last time I saw this miserable pr*ck was in a sentencing hearing where he wanted a nonviolent J6er with a severely disabled daughter to spend a year in federal prison.
Good riddance Mike Romano and pray karma is kind.

Finland risks becoming a ‘battlefield’ against Russia – former EU adviser
The Nordic nation’s recent NATO membership could spell catastrophe, Sakari Linden has told RT
Finland’s decision to abandon neutrality and join NATO could prove catastrophic, as it risks turning the country into a battlefieldin a potential conflict with Russia, former EU Parliament adviser Sakari Linden has warned.
Linden spoke to RT on Thursday, on the sidelines of the International Arctic Forum in Murmansk.
Finland has an almost 1,300-kilometer-long border with Russia, and officially joined the US-led military bloc in April 2023 following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict.
By joining NATO, Finland “abandoned decades of neutrality,” which had provided the country with independence, prosperity, and security, Linden said.
“Every time in history when Finland becomes very aligned with… Western powers,” it becomes, in Linden’s words, “some kind of natural resources reservoir of the West.”
The country then loses its independence and “risks becoming a battlefield against Russia,” he warned.
Linden said Finland’s position between East and West givesit “geopolitical balance,” and that it benefits most from acting as a trade bridge between Russia and the EU.
The former EU adviser further noted that during the Cold War, Finland was a “neutral” country that traded with both the West and the East. He said that it has often been the West that sought to restrict Finland’s trade with Russia, while “Russia has never forbidden Finland” from trading with the West.
Now that Finland has totally aligned with Western powers in foreign and security policy – which Linden said “want to put pressure on Russia” – Helsinki is the one bearing the “burden of all the security risks.”
Since joining the US-led bloc, the Finnish government has embarked on a militarization push, including expanding military training and urging the population to prepare for a possible war with Russia.
NATO’s eastern members have long declared Russia to be a direct threat, and Western officials have repeatedly claimed that if Moscow wins the Ukraine conflict, it could target other European countries.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed any possibility of a military advance against NATO as “nonsense,” arguing that the supposed threat of a Russian attack is being used by European politicians to scare their citizens to extract more resources from them and justify increased military spending.
At the same time, Russia has repeatedly warned against what it describes as NATO’s unprecedented military activity near its western borders in recent years.
(Finland got pressured into joining NATO by Bidan in 2022, to encircle Russia with NATO countries, they regret this greatly. Now the President of Finland is golfing with President Trump today!)

Notorious J6 Jailer Plays Victim
DC Judge Beryl Howell loves to shoot off her mouth when it comes to the president and his supporters. Now she's playing the victim as Trump DOJ uses her own words, and actions, against her.
JULIE KELLY MAR 28, 20251/2
As the manhunt for American citizens who participated in the events of January 6 accelerated in early 2021, the Biden Department of Justice took an unprecedented approach in the handling of political protesters: demand pretrial detention even for those charged with nonviolent offenses such as obstruction and conspiracy.
A special prison for J6ers had been opened in the nation’s capital a few days after Jan 6;individuals from around the country were being transported to the DC gulag after being denied release following an arrest in their home state.Judges in Washington were flooded with DOJ requests to keep J6ers, most of whom had no criminal record,behind bars awaiting trial; judges needed guidance as to how to proceed.
So, in stepped Beryl Howell, the chief judge of the D.C. district court at the time.
In February 2021, in another unprecedented move,Howell established what became known as the “Chrestman factors.” Named after William Chrestman, a member of the Proud Boys from Kansas, Howell claimed that“the undeniably traumatic events of January 6” required the courts to ditch the standard practiceof evaluating pretrial detention on an individual basis and instead lump all J6ers together.
Howell laid out the “differentiating factors that warrant pretrial detentionof certain defendants facing criminal liability for their participation in the mob.” Judges should, according to Howell, determine whether the defendant was part of a group that planned in advance to go to the Capitol; injured or interfered with police that day; or used “words and movements during the riot” that represented (in her mind) “egregious” misconduct.
Over the course of the J6 prosecution, Howell sentenced more than three dozen J6ers to hard time in federal prisons—but not before enduring one of her notorious tongue lashings. For example,she berated a man from Tennessee in 2022 convicted of a single misdemeanor for “engaging in political violence that shook our country.” She also forced the man to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
After running roughshod over J6ers for four years,Howell now insists she is the victim of an “ad hominem attack” by the Trump DOJ, which last week asked Howell to recuse herselffrom presiding over a lawsuit brought by Perkins Coie, the infamous law firm responsible for the Steele dossier.
Protecting Perkins Coie Once Again
Perkins Coie is suing the president over his March 6 executive order that accused the firm of “dishonest and dangerous activity” and stripped Perkins Coie employees of security clearances and government contracts. (A good backgrounder here.)
The lawsuit landed on Howell’s desk. Given her role overseeing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into imaginary Trump-Russia election collusion as chief judge—in a lengthy 2018 decision,
Howell determined Mueller’s appointment was legal and did not violate the Constitution, a finding directly contradictory of what Judge Aileen Cannon concluded on the same question in 2024—Howell should have stepped aside.
She is unquestionably conflicted since Perkins Coie acted as the money laundering machine to conceal the role of Democratic consulting shop Fusion GPS—who hired Christopher Steele, an FBI informant and foreign lobbyist at the time—the Hillary Clinton campaign, and the Democratic National Committee in producing the dirty dossier and peddling it around Washington before and after the 2016 election.
But instead of stepping aside from the case, Howell immediately gutted most of the president’s executive order, going so far as to instruct top Trump officials including Attorney General Pam Bondi to notify government agencies “to suspend and rescind any implementation” of three key sections of the president’s directive.

Why are Trump Haters mostly ugly?
2/2
The Trump administration had had enough. (In fact, the week before the Perkins case landed on her desk, Howell issued a scathing 36-page order related to Trump’s firing of a NLRB member, a move Howell repeatedly claimed was “unlawful” and “illegal.” She suggested the president considered himself a “king” and that he “seems intent on pushing the bounds of his office and exercising his power in a manner violative of clear statutory law to test how much the courts will accept the notion of a presidency that is supreme.”)
Citing Howell’s involvement in the Mueller probe; her questionable handling of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation including the suggestion Trump was a “flight risk” to justify a nondisclosure order related to Smith’s successful demand for the president’s Twitter data; and her anti-Trump statements made in and out of court, the DOJ asked Howell to recuse in a March 21 motion.
“As demonstrated through comments in this proceeding, other judicial proceedings, and in the public, observers might reasonably have concerns about the Court’s impartiality in this matter.Recusal is warranted to ensure these proceedings fair and free from concerns about impartiality,” the DOJ wrote.
Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Which prompted an “well I never!”response from the former Democratic Senate staffer and Obama appointee. As is typical for bullies—and there are few bigger bullies inside the DC federal courthouse than Howell—the judge accused the Trump administration of being the bully.And like most bullies when confronted, Howell backed away from her comments and actionsin an attempt to portray them as anodyne judicial observations rather than the clearly partisan and at some points vicious attacks they represented.
The DOJ’s detailed account of her open hostility toward Trump and his supporters, Howell argued, represented “innuendo,” an “attack [on] the messenger,” and an attempt to “impugn the integrity of the federal judicial system”—as if Howell and her cohorts are not the ones responsible for the public’s all-time low trust in the judiciary.
Her keynote speech at a November 2023 dinner emceed by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who called Howell a “mentor,” and attended by known Trump saboteurs Lisa Monaco (deputy attorney general at the time), Sally Yates, and Andrew Weissmann had an “apolitical, nonpartisan theme,”Howell insisted. Her obvious shots at the president, intended to gratify the Trump haters including herself in attendance at the dinner, have been “twist[ed]” and “mischaracterize[d]” by the DOJ.
But it is Howell, not the Trump administration, now mischaracterizing her comments and conduct in court. Far from being the victim, Howell is one of the chief instigators leading the decade-long legal and judicial assault against the president, his lawyers, his associates, his campaign aides, and his voters. Not only should she be removed from this case and any case related to the president, but she should also step down from the federal bench as a disgrace to the robe she wears and the threat she poses to American jurisprudence.
And as for her repackaging of that 2023 speech? You be the judge:

Taliban releases American detained in Afghanistan
Faye Hall had been held since February on charges of using a drone without authorization.
March 29, 2025, 5:26 PM EDT
An American woman who has been held by the Taliban in Afghanistan has been freed, former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan and Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad said Saturday.
“American citizen Faye Hall, just released by the Taliban, is now in the care of our friends, the Qataris in Kabul, and will soon be on her way home,”Khalilzad said in a post on X.
His post featured a photo of Hall smiling and sitting between two men. It was not clear who the two men are.
A Taliban spokesperson confirmed to NBC News that a female U.S. citizen was freed Saturday. The spokesperson said she was handed over to a group who negotiated her release with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Khalilzad did not give further details on the circumstances of Hall’s release. The U.S. State Department did not immediately reply to NBC News’ request for confirmation.
Hall had been detained in Afghanistan since February on charges of using a drone without authorization, The Associated Press reported.
President Donald Trump shared a video of Hall on his Truth Social account Saturday afternoon.
In the video, Hall said she voted for Trump twice and that she is so happy he is in office, calling this “the new era.”
“Thank you for bringing me home, and I’ve never been so proud to be an American citizen,” Hall said in the video posted by Trump.
Earlier this month, American George Glezmann, who had been held by the Taliban for two years, was released in a separate deal brokered by Qatar.
Officials from the Trump administration had been engaged with Taliban representatives to secure Glezmann’s release.
“The Taliban government agreed to free him as a goodwill gesture to @POTUS and the American people,” Khalilzad said of Glezmann in a March 20 post on X.
He was not part of a prisoner exchange.
Glezmann was in the country in December 2022 on a five-day trip to “explore the cultural landscape and rich history of the country,” according to a bill filed in the Senate calling for his release.
He was arrested by the Taliban and held without charge. Taliban officials in the intelligence department told NBC News they believed he was a spy.
Afghanistan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry also said the move was a “goodwill gesture” in a post on X at the time. In a statement, the Taliban said the meeting between the U.S. and Afghan officials was a “significant step in rebuilding diplomatic engagement.”
The Taliban has been in control of Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world, since August 2021, when it ousted U.S.-backed President Ashraf Ghani shortly after the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country.
“Continued discussions could pave the way for broader political and economic cooperation between the two countries,” the Taliban statement from earlier this month added.
The group has been eager to re-engage with foreign entities.
Two other Americans, Ryan Corbett and William McKenty, were released from Afghanistan this year in a deal struck during the final days of the Biden administration in exchange for a member of the Taliban being held in U.S. custody.Of course NBC would tack this on to Trump’s etc triumph

Private groups work to identify and report student protesters for possible deportation
President Donald Trump's efforts to deport foreign students who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations are getting help from private groups that use facial-recognition technology to identify masked protesters
By ADAM GELLER AP National Writer
March 29, 2025, 12:11 AM ET
Had to post this because they did this to J6 and they media and left had no problem with it, but if it’s possible terrorist, oh no that can’t be done)
NEW YORK – When a protester was caught on video in January at a New York rally against Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask and headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along with her name and employer, were circulated online.
“Months of them hiding their faces went down the drain!” a fledgling technology company boasted in a social media post, claiming its facial-recognition tool had identified the woman despite the coverings.
She was anything but a lone target. The same software was also used to review images taken during months of pro-Palestinian marches at U.S. colleges. A right-wing Jewish group said some people identified with the tool were on a list of names it submitted to President Donald Trump's administration, urging that they be deported in accordance with his call for the expulsion of foreign students who participated in “pro-jihadist” protests.
Other pro-Israel groups have enlisted help from supporters on campuses, urging them to report foreign students who participated in protests against the war in Gaza to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
The push to identify masked protesters using facial recognition and turn them in is blurring the line between public law enforcement and private groups. And the efforts have stirred anxiety among foreign students worried that activism could jeopardize their legal status.
“It’s a very concerning practice. We don’t know who these individuals are or what they’re doing with this information,” said Abed Ayoub, national executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. “Essentially the administration is outsourcing surveillance.”
It’s unclear whether names from outside groups have reached top government officials. But concern about the pursuit of activists has risen since the March 8 arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student of Palestinian descent who helped lead demonstrations against Israel’s conduct of the war.
Immigration officers also detained a Tufts University student from Turkey outside Boston this week, and Trump and other officials have said that more arrests of international students are coming.
“Now they're using tools of the state to actually go after people,” said a Columbia graduate student from South Asia who has been active in protests and spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns about losing her visa. “We suddenly feel like we're being forced to think about our survival.”
Uncertainty about the consequences
Ayoub said he is concerned, in part, that groups bent on exposing pro-Palestinian activists will make mistakes and single out students who did nothing wrong.
Some groups pushing for deportations say their focus is on students whose actions go beyond marching in protests, to those taking over campus buildings and inciting violence against Jewish students.
“If you're here, right, on a student visa causing civil unrest … assaulting people on the streets, chanting for people's death, why the heck did you come to this country?” said Eliyahu Hawila, a software engineer who built the tool designed to identify masked protesters and outed the woman at the January rally.
He has forwarded protesters’ names to groups pressing for them to be deported, disciplined, fired or otherwise punished.
“If we want to argue that this is freedom of speech and they can say it, fine, they can say it,” Hawila said. “But that doesn’t mean that you will escape the consequences of society after you say it.”
Pro-Israel groups that circulated the protester's photo claim that she was soon fired by her employer. An employee who answered the phone at the company confirmed that the woman had not worked there since early this year. In a brief phone conversation, the protester, who has not been charged with any wrongdoing, declined to comment on the advice of an attorney….
But the use of facial-recognition technology by private groups enters territory previously reserved largely for law enforcement, said attorney Sejal Zota, who represents a group of California activists in a lawsuit against facial recognition companyClearviewAI.

Do you judges actually kick out judges?
I agree
I think you misspelled a word, you used “new” when it should be “knew”. Thought you’d like to know.
