Trump's new attorney must have AG James (NY) worried

[rpannier]

Trump has turned to New Jersey attorney, Alina Habba
A wise decision on his part given her vast array of experience as the former general counsel for a parking garage company

1. I have the best words but there is no better word than stupid"

[TreasonousBastard]

3. The "best words" for Trump are simply "Fuck You"

[malaise]

2. Lawyers are running from him

4. I'm certain this is a cracker jack attorney

And by that, I mean he found this person in the bottom of a box of Cracker Jack

[malaise]

6. The party is over

Rock bottom of the barrel time

[rustysgurl]

12. And that's an insult to Cracker Jack toys everywhere n/t

[Maeve]

15. And not even the prize, just a random hard peanut that can break your tooth

[ShazzieB]

10. And who can blame them for running?

Any lawyer who doesn't run from him needs to have their head examned.

[malaise]

14. Correct is right

[E. Normus]

7. seems to me

this lawyer should insist on being paid up front, given TFG has a long history of stiffing everyone.

8. Hopes she gets her money upfront

"In September 2021, Habba filed a $100 million lawsuit on Trump’s behalf, targeting the
New York Times, three Times reporters, and Trump’s niece Mary L. Trump."

BTW all of TFG's real lawyers from Porter Wright quit when he was trying to contest the election
because they liked their law licenses and TFG wanted them to suborn perjury or perjure themselves.

9. A parking garage attorney from Jersey. Mob connections maybe? nt

[gab13by13]

11. I was thinking the same thing.

[SWBTATTReg]

16. Let's see, the news conference at the "Four Seasons", an attorney for a ...

parking garage company, a funky CPA firm (with the overestimating asset values for loan purposes and underestimating asset values for tax purposes (by the way, where in the heck were regulators when they received these questionable numbers/estimates)), and there's got to be a company in there somewhere that spearheads 'Questionable, But Acceptable Business Practices'.

I recalled that I had to provide backup documentation on asset valuations on some of my tax filings, for establishing depreciation schedules, etc. among other things), and in addition, when the state of MO went to a process of estimating values of properties, you could dispute the state-provided valuations w/ the state, but you had to provide ample proof/evidence, as to why the state-provided valuations were too high, e.g., a comparable property sold lower in prior year, etc. This wasn't too terrible of a burden per some of my friends who underwent the process, but it sure could have been.

17. He does seem to admire parking lots.

[BSdetect]

18. Will he ever conduct his own defense? He is really that stupid. What a show that would be.

[Raven]

19. Don't discount this woman. She didn't get her law degree from the back of a match box. She

is not a sole practitioner so either her firm is desperate for business and exposure or she got a hefty retainer.

[Lochloosa]

21. I agree...she is not a push over.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. No first or second tier lawfirm will represent TFG

I am not sure what tier this lady is
