Habba in the administration

She's going to be a White House counsel. This has to be the least qualified ever. Hilarious.
Trump is going to get in so much trouble over the next four years.
(Edited to correct that she is a counsel in the White House, not THE White House counsel.)

You think he'll call her and Kristi Noem in and try to instigate a fight between them?
I know I would.
No it says will just be a counselor to the President... Same role Kellyanne Conway had last term.
Actual White House counsel is going to be David Warrington
Where is Hope Hicks?
Dirty counselor to the president. I’m sure if melania wasn’t happy with her bf he’d have a hard sell. “hon this is that lawyer who didn’t know you had to ask for a jury right? The one the judge admonished? That lost a half billion? That one?”
I mean, you might be right that she doesn't know Miranda either. Wouldn't surprise me.
But who cares when you got this:
Ha no I meant juryI mean, you might be right that she doesn't know Miranda either. Wouldn't surprise me.
But who cares when you got this:
Actually I think she is pretty impressive. I’ve heard and read her various comments over a couple of years now. Smart. Power and influence comes from firmness clarity, and thoughtfulness, not from pedigrees.
I think I read that a jury was not allowed because of something in the consumer protection statute. I never looked into it.
She's an incompetent trial lawyer.
Who is Alina Habba? Trump’s attorney joins White House team after courtroom losses
Trump’s incoming counselor to the president lost several blockbuster cases while serving as his loyal champion on the campaign trail
www.independent.co.uk
Within the last year, Habba’s losses in New York courtrooms have racked up nearly half a billion dollars in judgments against the president-elect. In January, he was ordered to pay E Jean Carroll more than $83 million after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming the former Elle magazine writer. One month later, Trump was ordered to pay more than $350 million for more than a decade of business fraud.
Habba herself was repeatedly reprimanded for his behavior and mistakes in court, and was the subject of a blistering federal court judgment last year that ordered nearly $1 million in sanctions against her and Trump, who was labeled a “mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process.”
She also drew complaints from Trump’s own team, who have reportedly criticized her aggressive, dramatic courtroom behavior in cases where the fates of Trump’s family business and his winnowing pile of cash to cover his extensive legal costs could be in jeopardy.

Trump lawyer Alina Habba scolded on ‘Evidence 101’ in trial performance
Witness testimony and cross-examination continued on the third day of the E Jean Carroll defamation trial

She attended a third-rate law school. Is that sufficient to judge her as not smart? No. But it fits the pattern:
The best law school Habba could get into?
Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is ranked 165th out of 196 law schools by U.S. News & World Report:
- 2024 ranking: Tied for 165th out of 196 ABA schools
- Part-time law ranking: 62–68th out of 68 schools
I think they wanted to take a run at the constitutionality of the statute. But she didn't request a jury, so they couldn't. Because she's not a good lawyer.
I really do love trump 🤣🤣She's an incompetent trial lawyer.

Ds get degrees, Brad.
Some more Habba career highlights:
****Trump first hired Habba’s small New Jersey-based firm Habba Madaio & Associate in 2021 to sue his niece Mary Trump and The New York Times for $100 million for publishing information about his tax returns. That case was ultimately dismissed, and Trump was ordered to pay $400,000 in legal fees.
*****In 2022, Habba was among a team of Trump lawyers who were hit with $50,000 each for bringing a spurious lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, among others, after a federal judge in Florida accused his attorneys of abusing the legal system as a political sideshow.
“The courts are not intended for performative litigation for purposes of fund-raising and political statements,” District Judge Donald Middlebroks wrote.
****In the case of E Jean Carroll, a federal judge scolded Habba for failing “evidence 101” after trying to read out evidence that had not been introduced and repeatedly cut her off from lines of questioning that sought to undermine Carroll’s character, landing blows against Trump’s accuser that were meant for Trump more than the jury.
After a two-week trial, a jury awarded Carroll more than $83 million in damages for his defamatory statements about her.
“I’m disappointed in my legal talent, I’ll be honest with you,” Trump said in the aftermath of that case.
******In August, Habba quietly settled with a former Bedminster golf club waitress who accused Habba of tricking her into signing an illegal non-disclosure agreement to keep quiet about allegations of sexual harassment against a supervisor.
That settlement marked the end of a nearly year-long civil lawsuit from Alice Bianco, who argued that the club “defrauded” her into accepting $15,000 on the condition that she not speak publicly about the allegations — a deal reportedly brokered by Habba.
Now, the good parts, and why Trump hired her and stays with her:
The lead paragraph of the article is about her dress! And that’s the only part of the article which makes a lick of sense.She's an incompetent trial lawyer.

Haven’t you ever been scolded by a trial judge?
Yeah the damages are outrageous. But they are about Trump not Habas. Not to mention that they should be overturned because of the horrible legal rulings.

You can’t tell much of anything from the links about the Carroll case. But one thing is clear, the trial court was very protective of Carroll. That happens.
Then there are people who graduate law school and are so bad at it they can't find work as a lawyer.
Not that I know any personally - I've just heard.
Take the first one listed in the post you just responded to: How many cases did you handle where the lawyer got hit with $400k in legal fees for the other side in a case where there was no statutory fee shifting?
Why did you delete your reply to me before I could respond?
Could it be because you're lying about having me on ignore?
Law schools have been pumping out about twice as many graduates as there are jobs for decades now. It’s a huge problem even for competent ones. Don’t go into law unless you get into an elite school or maybe get a full ride to a lessor one.
I hate to play the authority card here, but I have to. But I'm fronting it and you can take it or leave it.
In my humble opinion, any litigator who can't ask basic cross-ex questions and doesn't know how to handle evidence in the way Habba showed, is incompetent. Any lawyer who makes it a point to piss off the judge before whom she is arguing, is an unprofessional moron. Any lawyer who gets sanctioned repeatedly by different judges is not a good one. Combine all this evidence of what she has done with where she went to school and what she looks like (because, yes, beautiful people have tremendous hiring advantages, esp. beautiful women), and I think it is pretty clear that she is not a smart or competent lawyer. (Add in her Middle Eastern immigrant background, by the way, and I guarantee if she had the least inkling of intelligence, she would have been snapped up by a much better school and a very prestigious law firm in the hiring process). In some ways, the same standards you might use to judge Kamala Harris a not very impressive lawyer would apply to Habba.
Maybe CoH doesn't see any of those things as a problem. I'd suggest, though, that he would if it were a lawyer that was a Democrat or someone Biden supported.
I think Habba is going to be the hottest woman in the Trump Admin this time. And that's saying something.
