Farron Cousins: 'Alina Habba Could Be In Serious Trouble After Possibly Lying To Judge'

Source:Farron Balanced with a look at Donald J. Trump's Manhattan, New York civil attorney & perhaps Trump University graduate, Alina Habba.

"Donald Trump's lawyers Alina Habba and Clifford Robert could be in serious trouble now that Allen Weisselberg has accepted a plea deal for lying under oath. Several weeks ago, Judge Arthur Engoron demanded answers from the two Trump lawyers about a possible plea deal after it was reported in The New York Times, and both lawyers decided to NOT actually answer the judge's request and instead told him not to believe everything he reads. If they had knowledge of the plea deal in advance, they could both be facing serious legal consequences over these responses, as Farron Cousins explains."

So what Farron Cousins is talking about here, is that a lawyer can’t knowingly put on a witness, whose going to give either false statements, or just flat out lie. Meaning, you have to at the very least know what your witness is going to say, at the very least is going to be honest. The old phrase courtroom: “To the best of my knowledge” come into play here. Any competent, responsible, experienced, credible lawyer, that Cliff Robert should be at this point, whose been practicing law for like 30 years, already knows that. Alina Habba, who of course is a different story.

The Habba/Robert response to them using perjurers as witnesses, has always been: “Oh yeah! Well, what about the prosecution using Michael Cohen as a witness?” Which of course is always a very adult response. Nothing more mature then someone starting a sentence with “oh yeah”, or, “what about the other guy?”. Well, mature, responsible, and professional, for a member of a high school freshman debating team.

But Alina Habba and Cliff Robert miss the point, as usual. Sort of like the gunslinger who fires the gun at himself, instead of the target. The fact is Michael Cohen was just used by the New York Attorney General, to back up other witnesses’s testimony, as well as documents. Not to offer new information.

Again, from what I said 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."
