I wonder if she was reminding Kegs that there was A LOT of information that the FBI ALLEGEDLY did not investigate.

"Then there was the very fun time when Trump could not have a jury hear his civil fraud trial in New York because his incredibly smart lawyer Alina Habba forgot to check a box on a form requesting one."

This one is my favorite.

Here's what I don't get... Now don't get me wrong--I'm no expert, just an Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer here in SoCal, where we have California Code of Civil Procedure §473(b). And here's the thing--all other states have SOMETHING similar.

And what it says is that if a lawyer fucks up, you know, like failing to tick a box on a form, which said forgetting to tick a box on a form is EXACTLY what the statute is designed for, to avoid huge prejudice to said lawyer's client, said lawyer can throw her-or himself on the mercy of the court, and say "Court, I fucked up--please don't take it out on my client."

And the lawyer gets spanked (usually a minimum monetary sanction to be paid to opposing counsel for any resulting inconvenience), and the client gets relief.

So the unspoken subtext here would seem to be that Awesome Sex Kitten Alina Hey, Babe not only minorly did fucketh up, but then MAJORLY didn't bothereth to ask the court for relief on behalf of her client Don Dementia, which relief I'm pretty damned sure would have been granted, had it been done in a timely (a word which I can explain to her over awesome sex or a cup of coffee or sumpin') manner.

"…Alina Habba is not faking the whole stupidity thing."

And her hotness* is pretty damn subjective too. I mean, watch any one-on-one interview with her for even a minute or two, and imagine living with that every day.

*Any other post, no. But since her "hotness" IS the central theme here, I figure a certain degree of looksism is appropriate. Or at least tolerated.

Alina Habba wouldn't even make a decent prison legal beagle.

Has the $1Million been paid? If so, by whom?

Or maybe the appeal is still pending? Because it's important to file additional suits when you've been accused of filing frivolous suits. Also, please note FL...

I'm so glad Trump has lawyers of this quality.

We might also posit that the Peter Principle is in play here, but she doesn't have any principles so we can safely dismiss that notion.

Her smartness must be a Deep Fake, like maybe she's playing thirteen-dimensional Candy Crush.

"I can fake being smart." But that's so woke I don't bother.

Should we tell her you can only fake being smart to other stupid people?

Why bother? It's not like she knows any smart people.

Hedy Lamarr, famously one of the most beautiful women ever and high IQ inventor of wavelength switching tech that is the basis for cellular phones, once said, "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.”

Looks like Habba has followed Lamarr's advice.

Like client, like lawyer. Neither of this pair of twits is capable of competently running the concession stand at an out-of-business drive in movie, both continue to set new records in failure every day, achieving dizzying, previously unheard of heights of inadequacy. And neither seems to think there is anything wrong with the way they go about things, as if countless judicial spankings, ninety one indictments and dozens of failed lawsuits are all just some of the fardels we all must bear rather than the inevitable consequences of preternatural ineptitude.

There's a free Christian drive-in theater in my town. I guess they make it up on concessions.

My mind going where it always seems to go, I wonder how many of those cars contain married couples who aren't married to each other.

If adultery was an Olympic event, the Bible Belt states would be well represented on the U.S. team. Maybe there's a reason why so many country-and-western songs are about the negotiability of wedding vows.

I don’t want to imply that Alina made the beast with two backs with Trump to get her job but,

Yeah, I do.

Well... have you noticed that she's started to dye her hair blonde and is looking more like Trump's daughter-wife Ivanka?

Guaranteed Habba is gunning to be Wife #4. (barf)
