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 mean I get what you’re saying… but as much of an imbecile as he is, I really don’t think he’s dumb enough to rape (or even attempt to rape) his own civil defense lawyer in a case about financial damages he owes a plaintiff that he raped, lost a case against, which effectively legally established that he raped her, and then continued to slander about said rape and case. Like… there has to be a limit.

        Everytime I think that idiot can’t possibly be that stupid or do something that shitty, he takes it to another level. There is no floor on this thing.

        I thought I was numb to all the escalating scandals, but you’re right, that would be a whole new level of deranged behavior.
