Lawrence O'Donnell Gives Donald Trump Lawyer Alina Habba A Damning New Title

The parking lot attorney is a very bad trial attorney



https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lawrence-odonnell-alina-habba_n_65a77f89e4b041f1ce63fac7

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday argued why Alina Habba is now “the current front-runner as worst Trump lawyer to appear in court so far.”

The “Last Word” anchor pointed to Habba’s admission in court that she doesn’t “know how to try this case, your honor.”

Habba’s declaration came after the Trump legal team’s pretrial objections in writer E. Jean Carroll’s new, second civil trial against the former president were roundly dismissed by the judge.

O’Donnell was astonished by Habba’s turn of phrase.

“Imagine sitting in a courtroom and hearing the lawyer who you are paying say, ‘I don’t know how to try this case, your honor,’” he said.

Habba is completely incompetent. It seems clear to me she is another in the line of your Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell types that see gloming on to drumpf as a chance to gain fame and riches by becoming beloved to MAGA, while having no clue how to actually lawyer lol

At one point today the judge was furious with her as it seemed she literally didn't know how to register a document that she wanted submitted as evidence. Something I'd imagine they teach you on the first day of "How to lawyer in court" class? LOL

it looks like Trump is plotting for a retrial because of incompetent counsel.
