Judge Beryl Howell has been a key figure in the Dem campaign against Trump. She's an unqualified Obama appointee who has run roughshod over the law in the Dem campaign to get Trump and destroy any of his associates by any means necessary.

Howell is an Obama appointee and a former Leahy adviser. Beryl and her husband are both Dem donors. She’s also a pal of Obama’s former DOJ boss, Lorretta Lynch. And of Andrew Weissmann. Weissmann, an Obama donor, is a key member of Mueller’s team. And Judge Howell gave Mueller his grand jury and decided that Manafort wasn’t entitled to attorney-client privilege. It was an extraordinary and troubling decision. And its legitimacy can’t help but be questioned when it comes from a partisan Dem figure. Howell was far more generous with Hillary Clinton when she allowed the State Department to delay disclosing her official records until after the election.

Now, the Obama judge has decided that the fake Dem impeachment is the real thing even without an actual impeachment vote.

In a double victory for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Judge Beryl Howell — the chief federal judge in Washington — ruled that the impeachment inquiry Democrats have launched is valid even though the House hasn't taken a formal vote on it. The decision rejects arguments by DOJ and congressional Republicans that a formal vote is necessary to launch impeachment proceedings. “The court’s thoughtful ruling recognizes that our impeachment inquiry fully comports with the Constitution and thoroughly rejects the spurious White House claims to the contrary,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.)

By, the "court", Nadler means an Obama judge who decides that attorney-client privilege or a vote on impeachment are unnecesary trivialities when it comes to the bigger picture of destroying her party's political opponent.
