One of jabba the hutt's quotes is, "My kind of scum."

Presumably this is what Habba thought when accepting to become Donald Trump's attorney.

You are terrific, sir! You analyze and explain these circumstances exactly right. The brazenness.

Between Badgirl Bondi, ConniverCannon and Habba the Nutt, we've got a lynch mob of rabid, feral, female 'counselors' representing the best side of MAGAJustice. Then there's the male-end.

It would be interesting to know which of the women in Trump's orbit grew up in Christian Nationalist homes. That would explain a lot.

I have to admit I’m not from the USA. We have some religious groups here that are not as prevalent as Christian Nationalism. Yet. But they’re racist and want women in the home and they hate homosexuals. All in God’s name of course.

Fascism requires ambitious but talentless individuals who are willing to do what they are told. Habba and those like her often temporarily enjoy the fruits of the maelstrom which they create but are more often than not are swept into the vortex along with their victims while their handlers remain unscathed. In a better world I would feel pity for her but the world being what it is, I only feel contempt.

That photo is from a press conference where reporter asked her how much grunge she accumulates on her teeth from sucking up to dumpy all day. Poor thing. Needs a little pepsodent. No wonder she’s cranky.

Habba is a terrible attorney. Until she hooked up with Trump she never had clients or cases except family related. She really is a disgrace to the profession... So is everyone Trump deals with.

Thank you for your excellent, clear analysis. One question: What is the remedy? How can this lunancy be challenged? It seems someone should be sued, but by whom (who has standing) and for what?

Harry: "But the controversy likely means that a convicted defendant or someone else hurt by Habba’s tenure can bring an action to challenge the legitimacy of her stewardship of the office. "

I wish you had expanded on this more. I am not a criminal practitioner but my thoughts went beyond Habba Babba. My crystal ball says that this will be grounds to challenge any indictment or conviction, brought and secured, in the 210 day tenure, since every pronouncement from Bondi and Blanche are nakedly biased and partisan.

Thank you for this clarity which is very hard to access these days. I appreciate as always the manner in which you explain the law for those of us who aren’t lawyers. We citizens are fortunate to have you and others who are ‘staying the course’ of pushing back & educating us. Thanks!!!

The camps are more than a power grab. The first thing Hitler did was sweep up the opposition for internment. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/concentration-camping-ii?r=3m1bs

Brilliant. I'd like to see anybody try to challenge any of the facts of this horrendous appointment, or try to dispute the inevitable conclusions that Harry came to regarding the rule of law killing philosophies that are at the heart of this travesty.

Alina Habba is best summed up from this quote From Above the Law: "In a recent interview, Alina Habba, who represented Trump in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case, was asked whether she would rather be pretty or smart. She said, “Oh easy, pretty … I can fake being smart. ”

Which is exactly what a stupid person thinks is true. And, btw, exactly the opposite of true — you can 100% fake pretty if you have enough money. And I think this is where Tiedrich usually mentions her… kidneys.
