Then I Suppose She Must Be An Idiot!



Only the finest legal minds are good enough for Emperor Dumbass!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Trump lawyer Alina Habba on Monday claimed that the judge who oversaw the former president’s defamation trial has a conflict of interest and argued that it may warrant overturning writer E. Jean Carroll’s $83.3 million jury award.

Habba in a letter to the federal court in Manhattan cited a Jan. 27 New York Post article citing U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan’s alleged prior working relationship with Carroll attorney Roberta Kaplan, who is not related.

Former New York and federal prosecutor Daniel Alonso called Habba’s filing “nonsense.”

“A lawyer would have to be an idiot not to know that the judge and Ms. Kaplan were at the same firm,” he tweeted.

“If you didn't object when you found out that the other attorney was the judge's former law clerk, you waived the issue,” tweeted Atlanta defense attorney Andrew Fleischman. “No competent lawyer believes that Habba's recusal motion has a shot of success,” he added.

So they worked together and neither one thought it might be a good idea to recuse themselves?

Yeah, sure, that works.

Competent lawyers won't work for Trump because he doesn't pay his bills.
