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.”

      I try to keep an moderately optimistic view of humanity. Sure, we are bombing hospitals and shooting grandmothers, but sucking Trumps dick? I just hope we haven’t gone that far.

        I thought about excerpting some of Stormy Daniels’s graphic descriptions of what Trump’s dick is like, but I don’t think anyone needs to see it unless they’ve given a consenting click beforehand.
