Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell's thundering ruling keeping Richard Barnett behind bars before trial ranks as one of the most outraged and passionate speeches that I have heard delivered from the federal bench.

The developing story above only captures a sliver of it.
But Howell's oratory can be summarized by those three words: "Brazen. Entitled. Dangerous," a trio of adjectives the judge repeated twice—and a distillation of the smirking image of Barnett with his feet on a desk in Pelosi's office with a stun gun in his pants.
“The government has presented overwhelming evidence that this defendant, Richard Barnett, enthusiastically participated in this assault on the Capitol.”
