Beryl Howell, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court, will be appearing Friday Unsealed Dec. 28 decisionThe FBI has been given permission to examine more that 2,000 messages stored on the phone of Rep. Scott Perry (R.Pa.). The FBI took the device from Perry, the conservative chairman of House Freedom Caucus, while he was on vacation with his family.

Perry, a six-term lawmaker, voted to delay President Joe Biden’s electoral certification in 2021. He claimed that his phone records were protected by the Constitution’s speech & debate clause. This clause gives legislators immunity from executive intimidation through politicized investigations. Perry claimed that his records were created during routine legislative work to ensure integrity in the 2020 presidential election. Perry’s claims were rejected by Judge Howell. Howell was first appointed to the federal bench in 2010 by President Barack Obama. “astonishing.”

“What is plain is the clause does not shield Rep. Perry’s random musings with private individuals touting an expertise in cybersecurity or political discussions with attorneys from a presidential campaign, or with state legislators concerning hearings before them about possible local election fraud or actions they could take to challenge election results in Pennsylvania,” Howell, who was also the Supervise judge For the Mueller investigation grand jury, wrote December

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D. Maryland, concluded the probe as the Republican majority was poised to take over the lower chamber. Announcement The panel recommended that their GOP colleagues be referred to the Justice Department in order to pursue criminal charges.

“An insurrection is a rebellion against the authority of the United States. … [The Constitution] uses participation in insurrection by office-holders as automatic grounds for disqualification from ever holding public office again,” Raskin stated, revealing the true purpose behind the investigation from the beginning.

The Select Committee of Jan. 6 was disbanded. However, the FBI continues its investigation with U.S. attorney Jack Smith as special counsel. Perry’s communications and interactions with the Justice Department and White House have been the focus of the investigation. However, only Republicans have expressed outrage at the investigation.
