TFG has some very stupid attorneys. No first-tier attorney would work for TFG and so he has to hire parking lot attorneys like this idiot

In an appearance on the His Glory broadcast last week, attorney Alina Habba was asked about "why there should be hope for America and the world."
"When people bring cases against [Trump], which worries a lot of people," Habba said, "when you have those but they're not within merit, there are systems in place, even when you have crooked judges, Appellate Division, etc."
"And we've been winning," she continued. "They're not going to be, but I'll invite people to ask me questions directly next time I'm on with you. But I am happy to because that's something people worry about."

I imagine it as a chilling final turn of the plot. His world is coming to an end. He will never have another good day. Loser label will haunt him. The law will pursue him. Mental illness will hobble him. His properties will bankrupt him.

Judge sanctions Trump, Habba nearly $1 million for completely frivolous Clinton suit

?
If she thinks Trump will, she's really stupid.
2. How is getting dinged a million bucks for a 'completely frivolous' lawsuit winning?
Let's cut her some slack: rhetorical question.
3. How is losing all 60+ cases on bogus election fraud claims unsupported with evidence winning?
Again, rhetorical question.
I could go on and on ...

(3,997 posts)Hope she alone has to pay that $1 million dollar judgement. I get the feeling GOP donors will let her swing from the highest yardarm. Her only avenue is an appeal to the few MAGATs left with any money after all the grifting. Hats, banners, coins, bad investments, gold plated AR-15's, Trump pictures, outright theft via credit card charges....hoo-wee! Do they have any money left to give to poor Habba?

"According to court documents filed on Tuesday, veteran New York lawyer Joe Tacopina has been brought in to work with the former president to fight the suit filed against him by the former Elle columnist," reported Ewan Palmer. "Carroll is suing Trump for sexual battery over allegations he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York in the 1990s. She is also suing the former president for defamation for comments he made while denying the assault, including stating 'she's not my type.'"
Notably, Trump appeared to contradict this defense in a recent deposition, when he mistook an image of a young Carroll for his second wife, Marla Maples forcing Habba to step in and correct him.
Habba, who previously rose to right-wing legal stardom by representing a college student trying to overturn COVID-19 emergency measures, and then got involved in cases seeking to overturn the 2020 election, developed a reputation for her confrontational approach, that led even many officials in Trump's circle to grow tired of her. A Florida judge recently slapped her with sanctions for advancing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and several Justice Department and FBI officials in the 2016 election.
That lawsuit had sought $250 million in damages for what Trump described as a scheme to invent fake Russia allegations against him and damage his reputation. The Mueller report in fact documented that Russian interference on behalf of Trump did happen, repeatedly.
Habba is one of a long line of lawyers who once defended Trump to be replaced. Some, like Michael Cohen, even went to prison over their activities on Trump's behalf. Cohen has since begun cooperating with Manhattan prosecutors in a hush payment case against his former boss.
I hope that the new attorney got a very large retainer
