🤦🏻♀️ #Habba: We have witnesses in this courtroom that have made a point of going out, being on TV, making money but we are not allowed to. President #Trump is somehow not allowed to.
Acyn:
(The gag order does prevent Trump from being on TV or making money)
And she got reprimanded by Security in the court room today for sending a note to Necheles when she's not on the legal team.

#Habba: Look, the end of the day is we haven’t heard one thing… The one thing we’re not hearing up there is very simple, what did President #Trump do wrong… I am yet to hear that
It's where the crime took place. Bragg is the Manhattan DA. And Alina #Habba is a very stable genius.
Habba: We’re seeing a painful selection because we’re in the state of New York which is definitely by design. There is no question that Bragg bringing this in New York… these venues are selected exactly for this reason
Per Rupar, as news is breaking about his huge fine, Trump is ranting on Lies Antisocial about pics of him w/ his stomach hanging out over his belt while he's golfing as fakes, posting other pics side by side.
And...
Here's what Adam Parkhomenko

Habba Statement: If this decision stands, it will serve as a signal to every single American that New York is no longer open for business.
@GottaLaff Despite #Habba statement, I think this means NY is no longer open to fraud on the scale that #Trump has perpetrated. TY Laffy for all you do. This is a very big win!
Donald #Trump fired off a late night post in which he said he is "interviewing various law firms" to represent him in his appeal of the #EJeanCarroll verdict, leaving many to wonder if Alina #Habba's time on the case is over. #legal
#EJeanCarroll's lead attorney threatened SANCTIONS against Trump lawyer Alina #Habba over her "utterly baseless" claim that a federal judge had an undisclosed conflict of interest. #legal#Trump
Habba's conflict claim is based entirely on a single-anon source story in NY Post.
Carroll's lawyer ques how the tabloid came to publish it & if the supposed partner at Paul Weiss — the firm where she and the judge both worked— "even exists."
Alina #Habba’s antics make her a candidate for Bar Assoc. disciplinary action: #attorney
Donald #Trump#lawyer Alina Habba's "flagrant disregard" for courtroom rules could pave the way for #Judge Lewis #Kaplan to refer her to the State #Bar for a hearing and #investigation.
Trump stands up and walks out during Roberta Kaplan's closing. “The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose & walked out of the courtroom,” #JudgeKaplan says. This is an unusual breach of decorum, & Roberta Kaplan continues as though nothing unusual happened.
#JudgeKaplan just lost his temper w/ #Habba as she tried to object, reminding the #Trump team that only one lawyer can object during an argument. “One lawyer,” he scolds them, & Habba sits down.
Judge Kaplan interrupts Crowley as she begins to launch into a key point — that Trump assaulted #EJeanCarroll — to scold the Trump lawyers for walking around during the proceedings. Trump is at the defense table talking to Habba as Crowley says he does “whatever he wants.”
Still under the weather so I won’t post as much today. But had to post this. #Trump#EJeanCarroll#legal

Judge Kaplan: So let me say, during the arguments and instructions, no one else is to speak...
Carroll's lawyer: We have an issue with some of the tweets, they were not entered into evidence.
Madaio: These are tweets during the five hour gap. They are objecting.
Judge Kaplan: You did not succeed in entering them. Show me the slide
I predict Alina #Habba will be suing #Trump for defamation in 3,2,1… for things I predict he’s gonna say on the courthouse steps about her incompetence…. after the jury… refills his Depend™.
In a post on social media last night, Trump went after #JudgeKaplan:
“The Federal Judge in this Second Biden Political Opponent ‘Trial’ is extraordinarily hostile to me — Sadly, & I don’t know why, a 100% Trump Hater. He knows I did nothing wrong, but is looking to do a number on me. Only in America!”
#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.
Asked if #Trump would say anything other than #proffer, #Habba said she doesn't have a "crystal ball."
Trump again interjected.
Kaplan: “Sorry Mr. Trump, you’re interrupting these proceedings by talking loudly while your counsel is talking.”
When Habba began talking about what her client has a right to do, Kaplan responded: "Ms. Habba, I will decide what he has the right to do. That’s my job, not yours."
After posting this picture Dylan4America ["UNHLaw
Alum'] was asked to leave and never comeback.
This picture was taken after Alina #Habba asked the judge for a delay in the trial because she was ill and her parents may have tested positive for COVID.
"Trump's lawyer was repeatedly bench-slapped for ignoring basic courtroom rules and legal procedure. Legal experts say that in any other case, Habba's antics would be grounds for a malpractice suit. But Trump is unlikely to sue her — likey because Habba is doing exactly what he wants."
"Come on, this is Evidence 101!" said the #JudgeKaplan in response to defense lawyer #AlinaHabba's questions about how much money Carroll currently makes.
#EJeanCarroll also denied #Habba's suggestion that her status & reputation may have improved in recent years. The author & columnist said she was suing #Trump to get her old reputation back.
An expert witness for #Carroll testified later Thurs that repairing her reputation would cost up to $12.1 million.
“A state judge overseeing the election-interference case against Trump in #Georgia has scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to hear evidence regarding accusations that #FaniWillis & her lead prosecutor engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled public money.
Judge Scott McAfee also wrote in his order that Willis must respond to the accusations in writing by Feb. 2” #TrumpIndictment
Seems slow. And for the first time in this #Trump nightmare I’m pleased with the plodding approach. I thinkhope this is #McAfee showing any alleged shenanigans don’t undo grand jury decisions, butt I’m no Alina #Habba, who seems to only hope.
(Painters slowed me down. I'm catching up...patience)
Via InnerCityPress aka Press:
Habba: My client & I wish to pt out Ms Carroll can sit in front of jurors every day. But my client has to choose between attending his mother in law's funeral--
Judge Kaplan: I have ruled. Sit down
Habba: I don't like to be spoken to that why. Please refrain. I am asking for an adjournment for a funeral.
Judge Kaplan: Denied. Sit down
"CRAZY": Trump DUMPS Alina Habba as he looks for new defamation lawyers (washingtonpress.com)
Donald Trump does not like to lose, as his announcement that he is seeing(sic) new attorneys to appeal the $83 million defamation judgment proves.
