CNN: News Central With John Berman: 'Donald Trump's Attorney Has Tense Exchange With Judge'

Source:CNN- left to right: Defendant Don & one of his MAGA propagandists, acting as legal counsel, Alina Habba.

"Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, sparred with Judge Lewis Kaplan at the start of the trial to determine how much money Trump will have to pay E. Jean Carroll for his 2019 defamatory statements about her." 

From CNN

CNN legal correspondent Paula Reid referring to Alina Habba: "She has a duel role. She is Trump's attorney on the record, she worked for him on his civil cases. But she's also his spokeswoman. You can see her working in both of those roles today." 

From what my colleague Kire Schneider wrote about Alina Habba back in November:

"Alina Habba is not really a trial lawyer. She can barely afford to do whatever she does as a lawyer right now. She's more of a public relations lawyer, if anything at all, who makes her living trying her client's cases on TV and on social media. But she's officially Donald Trump's civil lawyer right now because she's about the best of what's left to try to defend him, because of his own financial situation and all the evidence that's against him right now, in multiple cases. 

Perhaps one of the reasons right now that Alina Habba owes millions of dollars, is because her own client is not paying her. But she's trying to work for him anyway, perhaps banking on the fact that defending a former President of the United States, would lead to clients who can and would pay her very well for her legal advice and actions in the future. But that career strategy is obviously not working out for her right now."

Just to give you one more example of why the MAGA movement is only not conservative, but is actually anti-conservative and they believe in the opposites of what even fundamentalist religious Conservatives, or Constitutional Conservatives believe in and this dealing with legal cases: 

Led by their leader Donald Trump, (I at least would argue cult leader) they believe that the rules of society simply don't apply to them. And that even though they physically live in a civil society, a constitutional republic, based on both individual rights, as well as equal rights, and the rule of law, they believe those civil and constitutional values simply don't apply to them. 

So what MAGA basically does is whatever they want, not seeming to care even if they lose in court, let alone get caught, because they believe at the end of the day, they'll win the publication relations battle and the charges against them will be dropped. Or hold out for a pardon, or win appeals based on their public relations battles. That's what you see with Alina Habba today, whose more of a legal political activist for Donald Trump's MAGA movement, that a legitimate, credible, serious, practicing attorney.
