The Alina Habba Pit thread

Right? I admit I watched it twice.

Because she’s a Trump supporter? Have you forgotten 2020 already? I mean, we had whole reddits on Trump supporters deliberately screwing up COVID restrictions and everything.

She was doing a public service by exposing multiple people so they’d get covid and acquire natural immunity. No nano-octopuses or magnetic DNA involved.

So she ought to be praised, not castigated.

Oh, that I understand. What I need help with is how her “screwing up Covid restrictions” somehow proves she was lying to the judge.

Oh, oh, I’ve got this! Because she does not give one tiny shit about other human beings on this planet.

Didn’t she tell the judge that she wouldn’t be able to attend court Tuesday because she had been exposed to Covid?

She may not have been able to attend court, but she was able to attend a party. I doubt the judge was impressed with her playing hooky like some middle schooler.

30 days on Riker’s island might adjust her attitude.

Well apparently, so do lesser attorneys.

A Newsweek analysis of FEC records found that between February 2022 and June 2023, Habba’s New Jersey law firm, Habba Madaio & Associates LLP, received $3,586,350 from Save America and Make America Great Again PAC, two Trump-aligned political action committees.

Of course, Trump himself isn’t paying a penny of this.

I wonder how the donors feel about giving money to a PAC that turns around and pays an incompetent lawyer to do a terrible job and end up with a penalty around 8 times larger than the plaintiff was asking for?

I mean, are they happy that their donations are being spent on incompetence like this?

If you’re bought into the Trump As Victim trope, then you’re gleefully writing checks in the same way as the people who fund televangelists do.

And I’d guess the Venn Diagram of the two cohorts has significant overlap.

There’s also the darker possibility that they, the victims, failed to check the appropriate boxes and are being systematically bled each and every month. Since they’re not part of the 2% dementia genius group, the losses are too hard to figure out.

With tears in their eyes.

Tears of glee?

:thinking:

Anger. “Those darn Bidencommies wasted so much of Trump’s presidintin’ time and money, now I have to give him even more tithings to defeat them nazzies.”

Habba’s performance in the trial brought tears of laughter to my eyes. She suffers from the same delusion of competency that is so prevalent among MAGAites and it’s a wonderful thing to see to see her incompetence, and Trump’s inability to shut the fuck up, cost his idiot minions tens of millions of dollars.

Habba had sent a letter claiming that the judge and prosecutor had once had a mentoring relationship. Both denied this, with Carroll’s lawyer mentioning sanctions, and suddenly a I Was Just Asking Questions response from Habba has been sent. What a maroon.

I love her footnote, she’s learned the whole mob threat spiel from her mentor - Don the Con.

The ol’ Fox News “some people are saying” tactic.

We’re not saying it! We’re just reporting that other people are saying it!

love the footnote. “the judge was mean and hostile to me, waaaah”.

You mean the judge and the plaintiff’s attorney, this isn’t a criminal trial.

And it’s clear she’s trying to “just ask questions” which seems risky when you’re in a legal setting.
