Alina Habba “can’t even do things that you learn in evidence class,” says CNN legal analyst Elie Honig
A former White House attorney for Donald Trump said Wednesday he’s “not surprised” the former president is looking for new representation for his appeal of the defamation trial verdict, calling out Trump lawyer Alina Habba’s management of the case. Trump announced late Tuesday that he was seeking new counsel for his appeal of the $83.3 million verdict in the defamation lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. Habba, who served as Trump’s lead attorney and frequently clashed with the presiding judge throughout the trial, handled the case “in the mafia way,” Ty Cobb told CNN Wednesday, according to HuffPost.
“She’s done his bidding. She’s articulated his political narrative of victimization and unfairness in the judicial system and made some outlandish claims, including the conflict claims,” Cobb continued. "And she lost, so she’s a loser. I’m not surprised that Trump is looking for appellate representation.”
“Somebody said to me ‘Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty?’ and I said ‘Oh easy, pretty… I can fake being smart’.
This really talks to the world view of these people. They are so stupid they think everything is a show put in for other people. They believe everyone is just like them. That’s why they project more than AMC. Their obsession with “virtue signaling” is a perfect example.
At least this lady is self aware. She knows her strength isn’t her legal skills, and she knows she won’t be young forever. So for her taking on a big case and being exposed as incompetent for the whole world might be worth it - it’s unlikely she had much of a legal career to destroy anyway.
She has also inflicted more damage on Trump than any of his opponents have. I respect that.
