"we're going to need a list of all of the people you know..."

She really needs to meet new people.

She's his attorney... Literally paid to say such things.

dhork

I hope she got her money up front, he doesn't exactly have a good track record of paying his lawyers on time.

I don’t believe that’s true for a second. Only someone unethical would do that, and I have it on good authority that he is very ethical!

The best ethics! Perfect ethics. Nobody is more ethicier!

they're not actually paid to lie, you know.

Yea... because you know, all lawyers are the same. they even all do the same exact job of defending corrupt billionaires. None of them are at all any different.

Everytime someone describes trump with "best, most, ever" in a positive statement I always assume it's trump telling them specifically to say that. He has the best words after all.

correct.

I mean...she's a lawyer. She surrounds herself with the worst American has to offer in so, so many cases.

And apparently every parent, teacher, family member, judge, etc. she has ever met does not rise to the ethics of Mr Perfect Call Insurrectionist Pussy Grabber

I've got to believe she's had at least one or two clients who were innocent.

Chalky_Pockets

•

Surely at least one, but that doesn't matter. Everyone does at least one thing right.

FuglyDuck

•

she can go into, like, immigration law. Know a few immigration lawyers. their clients are amazing. I don't imagine their bills are as large as the one sent to trump, but it's not like trump actually pays the bills...

I know, that she is getting paid and all. But damn... Thats just degrading. No amount of money would bring me to tell such a embarrassing lie. Alone the word "most" puts every other of her social interactions into scale. She basically said: "Me, my mom, my husband?, my kids?, my best friend, they are all ethically worse than Trump." This person seems to have no values.

she is getting paid

Oh, was this lawyer actually smart enough to get payment up front? Because we know Trump normally doesn't pay his lawyers after the fact. If she got paid, she has no values.

I mean, she is a lawyer. That's what they do.

Most lawyers, yes, are heartless capitalist fee-gouging sociopaths. But some of us do a lot to help the helpless, to our own detriment. We give everything for the underdog fighting these snakes.

So, while I don’t take the generalisation personally—because it’s largely true—please never forget the minority of broke empathetic legal practitioners toiling away behind the scenes seeking actual justice for clients.

Yeah, my first thought there is...what sort of crowd do you usually run with then?

ghostBones

•

Following that logic, it means she doesn't know any ethical people.

VoterFrog

•

Well she is surrounded by lawyers buh dum tiss

So, odds on when she leaves the team and starts telling people what a shit-show he really is?

The second she has a book published and starts doing a promo tour for it, and not one minute before.

I'm so sick of that shit. These people should be charged with being complicit for hiding crimes.

Riccosuave

Funnily enough, she may end up getting charged for lying on her affidavit that there were no more classified documents at Mar a Lago. She used some legalese AKA weasel words that may protect her, but it remains to be seen. She was, however, already sanctioned for over $1 million dollars, and I wouldn't be surprised if she was disbarred by the time all is said and done.

I’ve met sewer rats with a better sense of ethics.

Where did trump even find this lawyer? The 8th circle of hell?

NaibofTabr

•

Bottom of the barrel. All of his other lawyers have dumped him.

jeffw

•

Considering so many people refused to work for him, it’s possible. P

jordanlund

Says less about Trump and more about everyone else she knows...

moistclump

•

Unless… she’s lying…

EnderWi99in

Trump is really running out of qualified attorneys. This lady only got into law a decade ago and up until now has represented reaility stars in petty civil cases. This is who Trump has representing him over any of his current indictments? That's wild!

akai

He turned them over, he cooperated as he always does.

Yup, that's totally a lie ...

TwoGems

I thought lying in court was illegal?

Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, praised the former president for being “the most ethical American” she knows after he was hit with fresh superseding charges that accused he and his handlers of deleting footage sought by the federal government in a classified documents case.

Mouselemming

I know you're just quoting but that should really be "accused him" rather than "accused he"

MicroWave

•

Nice catch. Perhaps this is how we know this article wasn’t written by an AI lol.

TwoGems

How many rubles did she get to say that

cashsky

•

She got paid in Trump bucks

echodot

I'm going to spend it.

I'm sorry, have you got change for $2,024 bill?

45 has a real penchant for surrounding himself with people who say things he wishes were true rather than the actual truth. I doubt he knows (or cares) there's a difference.

Hopefully that's a good thing in the sense that his legal team is so incompetent and out of touch with reality, they will get steamrolled (just as all his election fraud nonsense did).

CADmonkey

•

I wonder if he will be ethical enough to pay her?

Adeptfuckup

•

Why only the most unethical lawyer would say something so ridiculous.

"Attorney wont insult their client on cam" thank you for the hard hitting journalism

Cruxifux

Ah, I love a good burn on Americans.

"He's at least as ethical as I am!"
