  1. #AlinaHabba is now a senior adviser to the attorney general [assistant to the regional manager] & supervises #US #attorneys around the United States. She has been in the New Jersey office in recent weeks. It is unclear why. Her presence alone would not be inappropriate or out of the ordinary given her position. It is unclear what motivated Judge Quraishi’s questions.

  2. In #solidarity with poor, #dimwitted Alina Habba, I have decided to hereby #resign from my positions as U.S. Secretary of State, Vice President of the #USA, senator for the great State of Vermont, Congressman for the district of Idiot, TX, dogcatcher in Boise, Idaho, and designated shit sweeper for the unincorporated shithole of Mar-a-lago, FL.

    I thank you for the opportunity to #serve in these roles.

  3. "Acting US Attorney #AlinaHabba was on Fox complaining about #Afghans who worked with the US govt being allowed to emigrate to the US

    … Habba’s parents emigrated here from #Iraq. Their #asylum claim stated that they were persecuted in their country... They were allowed to enter the #US, which is why Habba was able to be on #Fox decades later complaining about people being granted asylum."

  4. Chaos erupts in NJ courts after Trump’s personal lawyer, Alina Habba, stays on as U.S. attorney without Senate approval. Judges tried installing her assistant, but the Trump admin pulled off a legal shuffle to rehire Habba, pausing hearings and trials. A defendant’s lawyer says she’s “unlawfully” in office. AG Pam Bondi even fired the new appointee to restore Habba. Will Trump’s maneuvering prevail or backfire on this controversial pick?

  5. #AlinaHabba, Trump’s former personal lawyer, had no experience as a #prosecutor or in #criminal #law before #Trump appointed her to the temporary post.

    Earlier this month, Trump nominated Habba to remain #USattorney permanently, but her confirmation faced headwinds in the US #Senate after #NewJersey’s 2 Democratic senators said she had pursued “frivolous & politically motivated prosecutions” & “did not meet the standard” to become a US attorney.

  8. #AlinaHabba, a fmr personal atty to #Trump, also charged Rep #LaMonicaMcIver (D-NJ) w/assaulting 2 #ICE agents during the clash that erupted May 9 as agents arrested #RasBaraka. The congresswoman & other Dems in DC have decried her prosecution as“political #intimidation”

    At Baraka’s hearing Wed, Demanovich sidestepped the judge’s demands to explain how prosecutors could have said last week they were fully prepared to take Baraka’s case to trial, only to drop the charges days later.

  9. “The apparent rush in this case, culminating today in the embarrassing retraction of charges, suggests a failure to adequately investigate. Your office must operate with a higher standard than that,”Espinosa said.

  14. #AlinaHabba claimed she had dismissed the charge against #RasBaraka “for the sake of moving forward.” [or because it was BS. He was invited in by agents & it was caught on multiple videos]

    Rep #LaMonicaMcIver & the 2 other lawmakers—Reps Bonnie Watson Coleman & Rob Menendez—have pushed back against the #Trump admin’s contention that the legislators *stormed* into the detention center. The federal govt’s narrative has also been contradicted by video footage & by witnesses at the scene.

  15. “The charges against me are purely political—they mischaracterize & distort my actions, & are meant to #criminalize & deter #legislative #oversight,” she said.

  17. "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" says Alina Habba, world record holder for "dumbest lawyer" and President Donald Trump's US Attorney for New Jersey despite a complete lack of meaningful qualifications.

  18. Mayor #Baraka "committed trespass & ignored multiple warnings" from DHS officials who told him to leave the facility, alleged #AlinaHabba, fmr #Trump defense atty & interim #USattorney for #NewJersey.

  22. “What is actually troubling is both the substance and timing of her false accusations of impropriety by on the part of E. Jean Carroll’s counsel or the Court,” Kaplan wrote in a response.

  23. #JudgeKaplan asked for a #proffer of #Trump's #testimony, #AlinaHabba responded: "He's going to say he stands by his deposition. He's going to say that he stands by those statements there."
    She said he'd also claim that he didn't mean to harm her.

    Asked if Trump would go beyond that, #Habba said: "I'm not testifying for my client, your honor."

    #EJeanCarroll atty Roberta Kaplan said Trump had an opportunity to participate in the first trial, but he didn't appear.

  25. Justice #Engoron responded that he didn’t think that mattered.

    #Kise: “We haven't had any questions about those corporate entities.”

    Engoron considered it further & said: “It's an interesting question; to what extent the question has to be limited to the grounds of the subpoena?"

    #Trump attorney #AlinaHabba: "She's no longer a defendant in this case.”

  26. #AlinaHabba made clear that the motion would be in part about Justice Engoron's principal #LawClerk.

    #Engoron: "Don't file that motion, please. I think it's important for the safety of my staff. I am 1,000% convinced, & you don't have any right or reason to complain about my confidential communication."

    #Kise: “There's no way to file that motion without referencing the subject matter.”

    Engoron: “I'm directing you not to make that motion [...] I'm going to protect my staff, okay."

  27. #Trump lawyer #AlinaHabba objects to the questioning, which she says is leading.

    #AndrewAmer, lawyer for the NYAG, calls #McConney a hostile witness. #Habba says he is not a hostile witness & #Engoron wryly says, "he is the defendant." The objection is overruled.

    FYI McConney was deemed a #HostileWitness in the #criminal #TaxFraud case last November as well.
