SIDELINED Trump Lawyer Alina Habba INSTANTLY Caught in Lie - Meidas Touch



Alina Habba lied to the American people to their faces when she told them that Trump was ready willing and able to testify in his NY criminal trial when she knew that no such thing would ever happen.

Michael Popok of the “almost never wrong” Legal AF podcast explains that the defense rested and never called Trump—and for good reason. - 05/21/2024.

I really don’t waste time trying to understand them very much, but this time around their macho god-king really showed his cowardice. Having his lawyers say he’s going to testify, it’ll be hard to say he really wanted to but his lawyers talked him out of it.

Sure glad he was tried in NY court where the entire city is well aware he’s a con man and weren’t intimidated.

Not that he's listened to them in the past, part of the reason he's in such hot water, but any port in a storm. As for the opinions of him in New York, thanks for the reminder, makes me feel better about the jury.

but Judge Merchan denied him repeatedly and told him the gag order kept him from talking on the stand.
