The blockbuster remark came moments before closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by E. Jean Carroll
A federal judge threatened Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba with jail time on Friday, after the former president’s lawyer kept contesting a ruling after it had been issued.
“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup,” senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan warned. “Sit down.”
The bombshell remark came moments before the start of closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
She knows the judge has on kid gloves for the trial so as not to give any reason for an appeals court to overturn. So she’s pushing her luck. Also makes get famous for “sticking it to the judge” in Republican circles.
Or, again, she’s stupid.

There is nothing to gain by concluding its stupidity. The Republican party harbors malice; Trump harbors malice. A razor doesn’t supersede evidence.
Do you really think Habba is playing 4-D chess? She’s working for a man who never pays his lawyers.
That’s because she’s angling for a job with one of the Republican news networks.
She didn’t take the case because she thought she would get paid directly for it.
So either she’s smart enough to pass the bar and stupid enough not to understand how payment works or she’s not looking for financial compensation.
The bar isn’t that hard, but it’s hard to be that dumb and still pass it.
and gets quite a few of them disbarred.
