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.”
It’s so funny how he just immediately turns on people when he fires them. Like oh, your lawyer was terrible at her job, your attorney General, your vice president, your Secretary of State, your Secretary of Defense…maybe whoever picks these people is really bad at his job?
Like obviously he’s lying for political expedience, but best case scenario if we believed him entirely, he’s terrible at HIS job of picking the best people to run things for him.
