Trump's lawyer throws tantrum -- accuses judge of engineering a 'public spectacle': report

TFG cannot hire first or second tier lawyers and so TFG has to hire really crappy lawyers. TFG's latest attorney is a shopping center lawyer (her office is in a shopping center) and has been the subject of other threads on DU

This lady is a really bad attorney but she is one of the few attorneys who will work for TFG

This attorney had a fun meltdown last week when she submitted a really crappy affidavit to get TFG out of the $10,000 per day sanctions. This stunt did not work and the meltdown made me smile

On Friday, Adam Klasfeld of Law & Crime reported that Alina Habba, an attorney representing former President Donald Trump, released a furious rant attacking the Manhattan judge who earlier today refused to overturn the ruling holding the former president in civil contempt of court with fines of $10,000 per day.

"The tactics employed by this Court, including the dramatic pounding of the gavel, the statements directed to our client from the bench, and direct comments to the press have reduced this hearing to the likes of a public spectacle," she said. "We will zealously prosecute our appeal of the Court's improper application of both law and fact."




......Trump's contempt of court citation came after a court ruled he had willfully refused to turn over documents for a subpoena from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is investigating whether the former president and the Trump Organization manipulated the value of their assets for lending and tax purposes.

This idiot needs to be disbarred just like Rudy. Texas is working on disbarring Sidney Powell.

Hopefully, Trump's avoidance of accountability is finally over.

This idiot thinks that the judge is being unfair. Haba claims to have looked for the documents and wants the appeal court to block $10,000 a day fine.

Trump fought a subpoena to hand over documents involving his business practices as part of the investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Ultimately, a judge decided that Trump must comply and that for each day he refused he would be issued a contempt fine of $10,000.

In his filing Monday, Trump, through his attorney, called the judge unfair.

“We have a judge that frankly has been unbelievably unfair,” Trump told Bloomberg News via phone.....

Alina Habba, one of Trump's lawyers who frequently appears on OAN, said that she personally has tried to find the documents that are being sought.

Last week, Trump filed a sworn affidavit saying he was never aware of the records he needed to turn over to Attorney General James. The judge didn't buy it.
