“It’s clear Trump wanted to avoid the bloodbath of a cross-examination but wanted to say something”
Former President Donald Trump spent just three minutes on the witness stand Thursday in his defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll, using his testimony to declare that he backs his prior deposition denying the writer’s claims.
…
As Trump left the courtroom, according to The Messenger’s Adam Klasfeld, he complained to the press in the gallery, saying, “It’s not America. It’s not America. This is not America.”
This article evaluates her based on her skill as a lawyer, defending her client. That’s the job that every other lawyer does. That’s not what Trump hired her for, though. Trump knows he will lose this. Her job is to delay the inevitable as much as possible. And she gets a bonus if she manages to get him some platform to air his grievances publically.
This is kind of at odds to the standards of the legal profession, though, and she will probably get disciplined for it. I just hope she was “fake smart” enough to get paid up front.
Bruh. He hired her because she gives his mushroom a funny feeling.
I believe it’s still called a spore at that size.
Back in the day, a lot of authentic cowboys headed to Hollywood to work as stuntmen. She’s kind of like those cowboys; an actual lawyer playing the role of a lawyer.
You give her way too much credit. I’ve never taken the bar exam, but, based on having known some very stupid lawyers I am guessing several things:
- There are different levels of difficulty in each state since each state has its own bar exam.
- If you are stupid but have a decent memory, you can pass it because it doesn’t require creative thought.
- If you can’t even do that, but you’ve got enough money, you can pay the right people in certain states and “pass” their bar exam.
Habba is just clearly stupid. I don’t know why people are suggesting anything else.
Look at Boebert and Sarah Palin. Neither is a scholar, but both won office. If you use what you have to get what you want, you’re smart in my book. I wouldn’t want her as my lawyer, but she’ll probably end up a TV pundit with a six figure salary.
I guess all toddlers are smart since they know how to manipulate parents into getting what they want all the time. And yet I’ve known a lot of toddlers and none of them seem especially smart.
Also, I guess you must be one of those people who think Trump is the “very stable genius” he claims to be since he got to be one of the most powerful people on the planet.
Those toddlers just need to be smarter than their parents to get what they want…
They really don’t. They just need to know how to use cuteness as a weapon. That and whining.
But this isn’t a criminal case, it’s a civil case in the state of New York. Even if Trump wins in November, he will still have to pay up, and wont be able to pardon himself or tell his AG to drop the case. All Habba us doing is pissing off the judge
He’s not paying a damn thing himself, it will come out of some SuperPAC. He doesn’t care that it’s illegal. He already knows nobody can investigate him if he is President, except for Congress, and he just needs 34 Senators willing to keep him away from any consequences of that.
Habba’s mission is not to be a good lawyer within the rules and traditions of the courtroom. Habba’s mission is to drag the proceedings as much as possible out of the rules of the courtroom, and into the rules of “I’m the leader, do as I say or I’ll have you shot.”
A lawyer who’s staying within the rules of the courtroom is pretty much doomed to failure, and will interfere with mission #2 while they’re failing, which is why Trump hates them. Trump is so generally incompetent that it remains to be seen whether mission #2 will be successful. But Trump and Habba are in no way using bad strategy when they try mission #2, because it’s certainly possible to win that game, whereas mission #1 is a lost cause at this point.
“And you say that because you personally made him aware of those confines?” Kaplan said before Trump loudly interrupted to tell his lawyer he “never met this woman.” Kaplan then instructed Trump to keep his voice down.
Jesus fucking christ…
Your right Donnie it’s not if it was America you would have been held in contempt long ago.
Yeah but were they slammed from like the top rung or just normal slammed?
Slammed like nineteen ninety eight something something announcer table
God, I miss shittymorph.
The only place you’ll find a worse lawyer than Habba is a Simpson’s episode.
Habba argued that her arguments for the case’s dismissal were being misunderstood, offering to clarify them for the judge. But Kaplan’s response was short. “No,” he replied.
He hired some less than excellent bimbo lawyer and it’s working out predictably
Based on the lawsuit against her by a former client, she’s an insane backstabbing snake, not a bimbo.
Her husband was a member at one of Trump’s golf courses. She finds out that a waitress at the course was sueing the place and her manager because he had sexually abused her for years and coerced her into it with job threats.
She befriended the woman, convinced her to drop the actually beneficial lawyer she had, got her to sign an NDA and accept a pittance sum under 20k. Then dropped the woman as a client.
Allegedly that’s how she got the job with Trump. She turned around and went to him and told him what she did and how she saved him millions of dollars.
However, as I said, the woman is now sueing her and she is facing potentially being disbarred for that evil act.
It’s not America he is used to, for all these years of golfing, being a showman and conman and hanging out with Epstein and Co with no care for the world around. He could do that until he die, the US of A could’ve let him. But for whatever reason he went all in.
Letting him testify
Cute they think that was her decision, let alone her idea to have him rant in the trial. Donnie wanted desperately to speak out in almost every prior case so far, and especially so now we are in primary season to maintain his victim complex
Victim complex yes, but I’m also sure he’s convinced he could talk his way out of it. He’s been able to do that or pay the right people off his whole life so far, and these cases ending poorly for him surely has him convinced that everyone involved is just “doing it wrong” and he needs to step in and fix it himself.
She’s not trying to be his lawyer. She’s auditioning for the role of his next ex-wife.
