Trump's lawyer interrupted a hearing about the Trump Organization's finances to ask New York's AG to investigate whether Hillary Clinton spied on Trump

Former President Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba asked a lawyer from New York Attorney General Tish James' office whether they would "go after Hillary Clinton" in a hearing about whether the former president should be forced to sit for a deposition about his company's finances.

"I want to know, Mr. Wallace, Ms. James, are you going to go after Hillary Clinton for what she's doing to my client?" Habba said, referring to the attorney general of New York and Kevin Wallace, an attorney representing her in the hearing. "That she spied at Trump Tower in your state? Are you going to look into her business dealings?"

Judge Arthur Engoron stopped Habba's discussion of Clinton, saying they were irrelevant.

"The Clintons are not before me," he said.

Stupid? Ignorant? Incompetent? All of them, Katie?

[Thomas Hurt]

1. A cultist and an incompetent lawyer seems to me.

Another one destined for suspension or disbarment.

[tblue37]

13. Competent and respectable lawyers won't represent Trump anymore, so he has to scrape the

bottom of the barrel for representation.

[niyad]

38. When did competent or respectable attorneys EVER represent the F"'n,

murdering, orange TRAITOR**?

[Blue Owl]

2. Fat Donny's really putting on the ritz

Or should I say Putin on the ritz….

[Claustrum]

3. I feel like it's what Trump ordered them to say.

Any lawyer would know "she did something else bad" isn't a legal defense and it's irrelevant to the case they are hearing. More performance art for the MAGA crowd and Fox News that has no legal standing whatsoever.

[crickets]

21. +1

[Dale in Laurel MD]

4. Isn't Habba the same lawyer

who argued that Trump can't be prosecuted because he's in a protected class?

[niyad]

37. Yes. Representing a parking garage has taught her so much.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Sounds to me like that lawyer is paid to push Trump's paranoid line that everyone is out to get him

and it began in 2016 with the Steele Dossier. But they found out so little, and Trump won the election anyway. So I guess this is more about privilege and arrogance and entitlement than anything else. Pompous German ass.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. I hope the judge felt good when he said that.

[RockRaven]

7. Playing to an audience of one...

But not the judge, which is what one would do if one was actually trying to win.

[keithbvadu2]

8. Distraction

[agingdem]

18. the Chewbacca Defense..

a defense attorney tries to confuse the jury (in this case the judge) with nonsensical misdirection...her case is bullshit, has no merit, she's lost the judge so, hey, how about throw Hillary into mix, citing the bogus spy crap, and see if the judge bites...the judge didn't bite..

[malaise]

9. These are ''unserious' people

aka ignorant assholes who have no understanding of what is appropriate behavior.

[Celerity]

10. Alina Habba

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. She looks like a drumpf lawyer.

Godawful photo. At first I thought the shiny things were very large sleeves.

[zuul]

32. Who has their professional portrait taken in a brothel?

Oh, the lawyer for TFG!

[PurgedVoter]

36. This picture says it all, "When I count to three you will wake up, and dismiss this trial."

I suspect her teachers all woke up remembering that she aced the class.
This explains her getting a law degree.

[dchill]

11. Someone is nuckin futz!

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. Habba the Nutt...? nt

[Celerity]

17. lololol

[dchill]

24. Yes! Exactly!

[onethatcares]

15. and it ain't the Judge.

sad to see a career go down the drain.

[BoomaofBandM]

12. Watching lawyers defending trump is like playing wack a mole. Get rid of one and another pops up.

[keithbvadu2]

19. Paid by RNC donors?

[gratuitous]

20. Habba's probably already been admonished not to jingle keys

Gotta try something to distract the proceedings.

[zuul]

31. She was reprimanded today multiple times

for talking over the judge. You get what you pay for, and she’s probably working for free, or maybe she was promised one of those Malaria NFTs.

[Emile]

22. Don't expect too much from a lawyer who is working for free.

[Skittles]

23. they are all performing for the CULT

to everyone else they look RIDICULOUS

[Beaverhausen]

25. Come on - this has to be from The Onion

[Jakes Progress]

26. Just an asshole.

But stupid, ignorant, and incompetent too.

[ancianita]

27. A lawyer defaulting to a whataboutism argument!

[Nevilledog]

28. Looks like defending parking garage companies has not prepared her for this moment.

[Rebl2]

29. He should

have told her the question was inappropriate and slapped her with a fine.

[zuul]

30. TFG probably promised her a bonus if she threw that in

just to get it on record. Not that he would ever pay up.

[relayerbob]

33. Desperate would be my assessment

[DanieRains]

34. Public Defender I Presume

Auditioning.

No real lawyer would represent TFG.

He doesn't pay.

[Mr. Ected]

35. Just providing sound bites to be run on a loop on FOX, OAN and Newsmax

And 35% of the population will claim this was another "Gotcha!" moment.

If we want to save our democracy, we may have to rethink this whole freedom of the press thing. There is no freedom when monied interests control all the content.

[CaptainTruth]

39. This is so dangerous for our country.

The Trump cabal won't prevail in court, the real threat is that nonsense like this will inspire their radical cult members to violence.

[Catherine Vincent]

40. Now that's just sad

Whataboutism in the court room.
