"When the going gets tough, you don't want a criminal lawyer. You want a CRIMINAL lawyer." - Jesse Pinkman
Have you looked at the big Maddox mess? That could be an interesting video essay..
I feel that trump is having a relationship with Habba! Just wait, it will come out soon! Just my opinion.
I'm tapped out since directly supporting 🇺🇦 front line units and our many volunteer units fighting in Ukraine.🇺🇦 A very worthwhile cause.
"the lawyer texted me this morning and fired me...I don't get it" the other lawyer figured out they've been bamboozled & told a "you're fired" Trump joke & it flew over everyone's heads. 😂
You know, nobody gives Trump any credit for helping the world identify the worst people. They all come slithering out of the mud to be close to him.
When you drain the swamp you control the snakes
@@HalIucinations baloney
@@HalIucinations He didn't drain the swamp, he trained it. Now every dubious creature comes crawling when he yells "Heel!".
@@TheScaramongusHe is o"Opposite Guy". When he said "only the best people" what he meant was . "Parasites, scumbags and criminals..."😉
Just fulfilling his promise to drain the swamp. Only thing is he ended up exposing the stench.
Those texts are absolutely heart breaking. This woman genuinely thought she had found a friend with her best interests in mind. I hope Habba loses everything
That's the kind of shit that breaks good people.
the fact she said (true or not) “I’ve been raped” to get her to see her as an ally…
Habba and her husband owe a million in back taxes.
Maybe they should be arrested like Hunter Biden has been for not paying his taxes. Fair is fair.
Same. If this is all found out to be true Habba should never be able to practice law again. I will say as a naive New Jerseyan we tend to not tolerate this kinda shit. We tolerate a lot of OTHER shit, but not this. I suspect this will be handled appropriately.
That a woman sought to exploit the vulnerability of another who had been sexually harassed/assaulted by a colleague of her client (or client-to-be) whilst using the exact same words “I will protect you”….feeling sick doesn’t describe it…
No matter whether you're a woman or a man, at a certain level of corruption you stop giving a damn about hurting a fellow human being. This story does make it clear just how corrupt she is.
Hopefully she will be able to sue Habba for SERIOUS damages. That poor woman.
@@mirrepoix It makes my stomach turn before i thought the worst of it wad the cartoony villanry of trump and his law team But this is almost worse this is extremely exploitive, habba definitely earned that f teir thats for sure
I know!!! It is something to exploit someone who trusted you in part because you’re also a woman. I hate this was done to her. I hope Justice is still possible for her.
Is she is prosecyter ,,
I honestly don’t know what would be worse: if Habba lied about being a victim of SA to get Bianco to trust her, or if she actually has been a victim, actually does know how horrific this situation is, actually has been in that awful position… and screwed over a fellow victim anyways. Either way, I don’t think I’ve ever been more physically repulsed by someone’s behavior.
I feel the same.
I truly don't know which is worse, but it will make an interesting thought experiment for me to ponder.
@@andiward7068 As a bonus exercise, ponder whether the allegation is true or not. This will increase the critical thinking area of your brain, you might even escape liberalism with continued practice.

The Nebula version of this has an epilogue where Devin gives us an unfiltered opinion and calls Alina Habba “a garbage human being”. Just thought you all should know.
Well it seems he's not wrong
I mean is he wrong?
That was really satisfying to hear. Thanks for that.
they weren't implying he was @@richardmillhousenixon
Damn. That's a strong sell for a nebula subscription. Lol
I love how he basically reads the victim's entire complaint so her story can be told so she wo't have to worry about violating her NDA. Brilliant!
Also staggering is how a dodgy lawyer would allow a recorded history of all this impropriety.
fr, it's another kind of confidence that your actions won't have consequences to just leave around blatant and easily obtainable evidence
In addition to being corrupt, she is also incompetent.
It is called ignorance. The idea this stuff is just there forever is so alien to many. It has no physical permanence but will haunt you for the rest of the life of our current society.
There's scraping the bottom of the barrel but now we're at the point where Trump has scraped the bottom out, dug down 10 feet and found the cess pit. That's how bad these lawyers are.
Donald Trump panning for gold in the septic tank out back only to bring back his new "lawyer" every time
Yeah, the title should really be "Trump's Worst Lawyer *Yet*". It's probably only gonna get worse from here.
It's very telling that Trump can't find a lawyer in one of the cities with the most lawyers there
Dude hit rock bottom and ordered the dynamite to keep on going.
So the lawyers that injure someone and then offer their services to the victim they injured.
None of this surprises me. She claimed that Trump is the most honorable, moral and decent person she knows.
That speaks volumes about her acquaintances.
@@BlvigilWell, to be fair the majority of her acquaintances would be lawyers too, soo🤷♂️🤣🤣
At this point I believe her
That's REALLY scary.
91 indictments and Trump has already been found guilty, on many counts, of bank fraud, loan fraud, insurance fraud, real estate fraud, and tax evasion. He's also been guilty of rape. @@FlameDarkfire
At 21, you’re so young, it’s hard to tell when you’re being manipulated. This B really was like ‘I’m gonna take candy from a (figurative) baby’ like an actual villain
The first lawyer should sue too. Tortious interference.
A lawyer secretly pretending to be someone's friend in order to get them to sign an agreement and then almost immediately going on to work directly for the guy whose company was responsible for paying that person's settlement seems absolutely grounds for disbarrment.
As a woman and a legal assistant, this is watching a horror movie.
This is just a case we're hearing about because Trump is involved. Imagine the 1000's that will never see the light of day because no one involved was deemed worthy of media attention.
People like Habba are the kryptonite to female solidarity.
Absolutely. What a parasite.
Stay safe and stay strong, you are appreciated
She absolutely needs to be disbarred and never be allowed to be a lawyer in this country
"... in this world"!, would be even better.
Based on an unsubstantiated, one-sided series of allegations designed to get money?
But wait till she loses more cases for trump
6:05 I think what made me really, and I mean REALLY outraged, is that this is exactly what that slimeball was allegedly saying to the defendant: “I want to help you, I can protect you”. It’s classic manipulation, and the fact that it’s coming from another woman just… it shows what side Habba’s really on, IMO, and it’s certainly not the side of justice, or even for the side of money. It’s just so bloody disgusting, Habba was not only breaching lawyer conduct, but she was actively manipulating the defendant, a young and emotionally vulnerable woman. She’s not only a horrible lawyer, but she’s a horrible person.
She's acted like a junior version of Trump.
My HR lady would always go "Us girls need to stick together, I'll always fight for women's rights 💋!" then severely underpay all the women employed in the company. She would dig for dirt and ask us leading questions about how much we work. Luckily we all talk about our pay with our male coworkers nowadays. It was just interesting how she specifically targetted young women to screw over. She felt like she can get away with it by pretending to be our friend. It brings me chills at the thought of anyone who was actually vulnerable enough to believe her.
The definition of Actions speaking louder then words
Saw it all the time at my old job. I think a lot of these crazy women have boring ass lives and do it because it’s the only way they know.
Willing to bet that this HR lady is in the "boomer" age range. They climbed the ladder and turned around and pulled it up right after themselves.
Never trust HR. They are there to protect the company, NOT the employees.
HR exists to protect the company, not the employee.
Disbarment is a horribly painful, expensive loss for a lawyer. It looks like from this complaint that Habba has earned this consequence.
It's not going to be that expensive. Even if she gets disbarred over this in NJ, she can get listed in plenty of red states whose bar associations would just see these events as her home state retaliating against her for closeness to Trump. Texas would take her in a heartbeat - they reviewed a complaint about Sydney Powell's conduct and ruled that she did nothing disqualifying her from the practice of law.
Disbarment is rare in the US legal system. Lawyers, like cops, are more interested in protecting their own than the public. "A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns."
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu I don't think you know much about licensure. Red states are some of the strictest when it comes to enforcing suspensions and revocations of licensure in other states. If She is disbarred she will not practice again. Period.
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhumost states stipulate that you have to be in good standing of your local state bar to practice in a new state, so... Once you are disbarred, your legal career is basically over. I saw disbarment happen (red state, certainly less harmful than what Habba did). He is no longer practicing law in any state.
@@shevek2954not really. In February 2022 alone Tennessee had two disbarments and multiple suspensions (some indefinite). Readmission, now THAT is rare.
Can you PLEASE do a video on Habba vs. Kaplan? The reporting on her cross examination of Carroll is WILD.
I truly appreciate your detailed commentary on these issues. Regular media leaves out so many issues and insight.
Never accept unprompted "help" from a lawyer. Always choose your lawyer. Never sign any document without taking it home, reading it carefully, showing other people, etc. I co-own an LLC with 5 other people. 1 of them out of the blue hired a lawyer to rewrite the charter(!) of the LLC when he wanted to sell his shares to an outsider. I spoke up and said, No, the LLC needs to hire its own lawyer to represent us. And we did. Always know who pays your lawyer; that is their client.
I haven't watched the video but after reading this comment it looks like it's gonna be wild
Yes. 100%.
How am I not surprised that telling people "I can protect you" while simultaneously being the exact person they need protection from is page#1 in the Trump playbook considering it's his main campaign message
It’s crazy that that’s what her harasser was saying to her as well. Shows you how predatory a strategy it is.
She even directly said "attorneys want to take control from you" :| if that's how someone trying to rep you views the job you should take that as a red flag
@@VeronicaSipe Unfortunately these predators are also good at identifying those weaknesses which allows them to effectively run such a scheme. Abusers tend to target low confidence people with low personal agency. It's how nature's predators target the weak or young in herds.
"Only I can protect you," he says, while throwing you into the meat grinder. Actually, as he throws you in the oven; let's call a spade a spade here.
Abuse 101
I am a retired lawyer after 35 years, and was a provincial court justice after that for about 6.5 years. I live in Canada, And just cant believe what some lawyers in the US will do,. These types of lawyers should be disbarred asap!!! Michael Dunkley
Scary that as a former judge you would form an opinion based on an allegation from one side, but it goes to show the quality in our justice system these days. There is no impartiality.
I certainly hope that this young woman gets what she should be getting out of this debacle! I can’t believe that an woman would stoop so low as to take advantage of someone working in a low paying jo, being sexually harassed by her manager, and then go in for the kill and put the finishing touches on an absolute disaster for this girl that thought she could trust that nasty attorney
“you don’t want to go public with this, I’ve been raped, I can help you, I can protect you” I’ve never read something that has made me feel so physically ill. There is absolutely no way she’s ever stood within a three mile radius of this poor woman’s shoes, and it’s disgusting that she lies about being a victim of sexual assault in order to gain the victim’s trust. It’s like that high school friend who claims to be a girl’s girl and is always saying that girls have to stick together before immediately sleeping with your boyfriend.
While pretty gross, the example you gave isn't near as bad as what this lady did. What a snake.
An even worse alternative: Imagine she actually spoke the truth and still decided to do this
Even if she was victim herself, which is statistically probable, that in no way justifies her actions.
@@bibsp3556 Similar in intention/vibe, not severity for sure.
@@LakesideTrey If anything, it makes it worse
Thank you. This is not getting the attention it warrants. A first year law student knows how grossly unethical this conduct by Habba is - what is the deal between Habba and Trump? It's not only ethically challenged - it's downright creepy.
As a first year law student I can confirm we know how grossly unethical this conduct by Habba is.
@@Kamunchu drop out of law scool and get a reel job plz. need more enginers (and gamers), not more noobish law talkers plz
She also claims that she was raped, so she could be trusted to help her. This means that she either: - Was actually raped herself, but then screwed over a rape victim, preventing her and her rapist from seeing justice, OR - Lied about being raped in order to gain her trust. Both scenarios are pretty horrible. Hopefully she, and even moreso the perpetrator, see some serious justice.
@@KamunchuAs an ex con who's done hard time in a max state pen I can confirm how completely normal this behavior is for the republican party.
It's not only damning from a professional standpoint, it's also sub human, grotesque behaviour. To see somebody hurting and desperate for some degree of justice, and crush them beneath your foot to earn brownie points for somebody with authority. If those are the actions that get rewarded by your 'boss', is that a boss you should aspire to impress?
Yes, corrupt lawers are a serious problem. My first lawyer embezzled $6000 from me. The lawyer was prosecuted for embezzlement, convicted, sent to prison and disbarred. Yes, I agree with you, all the lawyers should be disbarred.
I absolutely hope that records are revealed backing up the claims against Habba. Any lawyer who does this to a victim of sexual assault or harassment deserves to never practice law again in the very least.
And a perfect lawsuit. Habba would lose.
And perhaps a nice cold jail cell. In a perfect world.
This should be some jail time. There's so many things wrong with this, that she should get prison.
Someone smart would have made sure that those records no longer exist. But we are talking about one of Trump's lawyers here.
Kinda like what Hillary Clinton did to the victims of her husband? 🤣
The unethical behavior displayed by some lawyers is truly disappointing. Let's hope justice is served and that the victims can find proper representation that serves their best interests.
Yeah, right, at the same time we can hope judges across the country can stop telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies 🤨
Like someone said just below your comment: "Not all lawyers become lawyers to uphold the law, but to find ways to break it. She's a fine example." She gives a new definition to the term "criminal lawyer".
@@MKR5210what does your point have to do with his?
Habba acted as if she was this woman's bf. She also told her that she was also a rape victim trying to convince her to do whatever TFG wanted. That's totally despicable! Alina absolutely needs to be disbarred. While they're at it, please do something about her and her husband about their $1 million or so in taxes that they owe.
Old joke: It's the 98% of lawyers that give the other 2% a bad name.
I’m glad you are covering this, Legal Eagle.
Unrelated to the legal stuff, but: If somebody you barely know starts talking about how much they love you, RUN! Yes, even as a "friend" "just helping you out".
So unethical, it really should be criminal. If half of what’s alleged is true, it should be grounds for disbarment.
Disbarment and prison for Fraud, yeah.
On the assumption of the facts presented here, disbarment for life at the very minimum.
States should enact laws that codify the point at which unethical behavior by lawyers is so corrupting to the legal process that it becomes criminal.
It's all good man
Isn’t it illegal to give counsel in accord with personal interest i.e., to go against the interests of the client?
This conduct seems to take a flying leap over the line between unethical and illegal.
I love the phrase “you saw the slippery slope, and decided to go tobogganing.” It seems apt here.
Yep. I can see why she was rewarded for it.
Alina Habba sets a gold standard of practising law. It's the kind of gold that our grandparents sprinkle on their feet when they itch. It's the kind of gold that Charlie was looking for in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That's the kind of gold that her gold standard is. But hey, it's gold.
An Olympic High jump performance for sure.
@@bearnecessitits shattering the line between unethical and illegal seems to be the only thing this hack is good at.
JFC, this is Saul Goodman levels of - what's the word? Chicanery?
Couldn’t finish watching this. This was such an unexpected trigger! What triggers me is knowing that NONE of this people will face real consequences and if they do, they won’t come near fair to all the damage, pain and trauma they’ve caused to others just for their own amusement or for the Orange Jesus’.
Don't get so upset over an allegation. It might not be true, consider that possibility. Practice critical thinking, $50,000 issue is not on Trump's radar.
If she isn't disbarred for this, there is little reason to have a bar association! She ought to be disbarred, AND be sent to prison for about 5 years. She's not only a disgrace to lawyers everywhere, she's a disgrace to womanhood. Leaving her with her license to practice, won't be helping the bad reputation that many lawyers seem to enjoy.
This is a gross misjustice, that should be punished as such.
Completely agree. It's not even just a breach of professional ethics. Covering up rape is complete moral bankruptcy
So far, from everything I've heard, the Bar Association is a toothless joke. Lawyers can blatantly lie in public for *years* with no discernable punishment. And if these people can pass the Bar Exam - that too, does not impress me as a barrier to entry. Our whole legal system feels ripe for a total do-over.
Michael Cohen lost his licence for far less
@@rgemail Well, the Bar Exam isn't really a check on someone's moral character.
Urging a non-client to discharge their attorney without cause is a serious ethical violation. The victim's new lawyer must have been shocked.
hopefully the bar receives some complaints so they can look into this
Need to prove the claim first and nothing has been proven.
@@chaseviking5096Good thing that this was witnessed by someone else who also filed a complaint.
@@djbloo8996 That's one of the things they're asking the Judge to do. When the bar receives a complaint from a judge where he's found she committed "fraud," they're going to take notice.
@@djbloo8996 The new lawyer for the plaintiff may have the legal duty to report Habba to the Bar and appropriate agency. Otherwise, s/he may violate the rule himself or herself.
Well presented and informative, thanks!
As a retired lawyer, very little shocks me. This shocks me.
Trump is a great contributor to job creation in the legal community. Not only does he himself need many lawyers, but his lawyers also need lawyers.
😂
Make Attorneys Get Attorneys
Trump has had not even one conviction for anything.
is this what reagan meant by trickle down?
Too bad none of them can get paid! 🤣
I am forever impressed at Donald’s inability to get competent lawyers
At this point, no competent lawyer would want to work for Trump, either because it would be career suicide, or because Trump has a reputation for not paying his lawyers.
When you never pay and never do what your lawyer says... words get around.
That's what happens when one embodies the term "walking legal liability"
The competent ones won't touch him with a ten foot pole. He never pays his lawyers and he's extremely radioactive
I'm certain that she was picked because she sleeps with him
She must be held accountable for her criminal acts !!!

In powerful rich people’s mind, it’s not sexual harassment or rape if you can pay the victim to drop the charges and settle. That’s an issue that needs to be addressed.
Thats how the legal system work tho. You either get reparations or justice
@@callias6007 That’s a bit of an issue isn’t it? How’s about justice and reparation?
@angrydoggy9170 you cant accept money to settle a case and then go back to put the person in jail for the same issue
Ask Harvey Weinstein and Hollywood.
@@callias6007 You're missing the entire point of the post. The post is about the way the accused feels and acts, not the victim. And if jail is a possibility, then it's a criminal case that will be settled or not settled. Some victims may accept a settlement, others will not. The point is, in the minds of the rich, it's not even a crime if you can get the victim to settle. And for the very rich, a successful settlement will cost you "pocket money", nothing to get concerned about.
Some of this brings back flashbacks. I had my Union rep try and force me to sign a legal document, saying "it i just a standard NDA, you don't need to have a lawyer look at it" then when i said that i would have my lawyer look at it he proceeded to accuse me of playing games and wasting time, that i should just sign the document. I hate NDAs and see them as another means for the damaging party to silence or further control the individual that was wronged. Anyone having you sign any official legal paperwork saying you dont need to have a lawyer look it over should be a massive red flag.
"Is what you want me to sign legally binding? Then I'll be having a lawyer read it, thank you. If this is a problem, I need you to explain why."
@@NWPaul72 very well stated!
i'm sorry you had to go through that, it's so disheartening, especially after having already been through some sh** at work... absolutely, 100% correct, let others hear and heed the warning, that is indeed a HUGE red flag.
Should get elected as ur union rep to stop that bs
Anyone who tells you that you don't need a lawyer to look over something before you sign it is telling you that you need to get your lawyer to examine it closely.
Always interesting, thank you.
It's the first time I'm hearing about this. Please keep us updated on this story.
We'll be hearing "she was never my attorney; maybe she got me coffee once" any day now.
Naah, she wouldn't. Not even her. Those messages of Habba that are in the plaintiff's posession would ruin that claim faster than an IDF JDAM a Hamas rocket factory.

"Some of these things just don't make sense" is lawyer code for: What these people have done is so far outside the norm that there is no way that this isn't malicious and will be a slam dunk case with incredibly harsh penalties.
"there is no way that this isn't malicious and will be a slam dunk case with incredibly harsh penalties" remains to be seen. Don't have too much faith in the US "Justice" system. For some reason the bar required to be disbarred when you are involved in a high profile case seems to be also outside the norm. The US "Justice" system should rather be referred to as the US legal system, as it doesn't have much to do with justice, but seems to be more about enforcing some class rules.
I think it’s also lawyer code for *15th take of Devon screaming into the camera.*lol!
I'm with you until you said slam dunk case. The Justice System is often about who you know. The judge, ideally, would be blind and only weigh the facts accordingly. However, we live in not just a non-ideal world but a corrupt one.
This is shockingly awful! This woman should not have a law license.

Hey Eagle, Love the great content keep it up. I have a couple genuine questions regarding recent videos online and I was hoping you may be able to enlighten me. There are videos of people filming themselves breaking road laws such as speeding, reckless driving, drifting, donuts, hitting objects etc. within these videos there is always a caption saying something along the lines of “Not real footage or Graphic render”. I was curious as to legally can a court prove that these videos are real with how great graphic rendering currently is? Could the mentioned captions actually save these drivers from getting charged? Thanks man have a great day!
"Helping" and or representing both sides in any dispute is a COMPLETELY unethical and illegal action for an attorney. Claiming to be a neutral third party while actually working for the opposition is WORSE. So much is just totally wrong here if ANY of this has any truth to it.
How is he still able to find a lawyer willing to work for him?
I've never heard of this woman but hearing you call her Trump's worst lawyer, when Rudy Giulliani and Sidney Powell exist, has got me immediately invested.
He did a video ranking Trump’s lawyers a while back might be worth looking into the channel video history if you want to see how Rudy and Sidney stack up with Alina
@@Wirespeed91 I forgot she was in that, I'll have to do a rewatch.
Yeah, "Trump's Worst Lawyer" is such an amazingly low bar. We should send her a cheap, plastic trophy to commemorate her incredible achievement.
Habba habba
You’ve never heard of her? You must have been living under a rock!
Habba's behavior is so awful, in several years there might be an extensive series of hearings to make her stop practicing law in a single state! (The legal profession is so slow and terrible at getting rid of their bad apples.)
Didn't take that long to disbar his other lawyers... Pretty sure she will lose it by end of 2024, if any this is true which likely is, and she then be sued, and be begging with Rudy for trump to pay them sigh.
Same as elected members, s l o w
nah she's not part of a multi-million dollar law firm, I'm pretty sure she'll get the fallout. No way Trump himself is going to help her at all. She's gonna be on her own.
A feature, not a bug
All I have to say to this is lead therapy.
My head hurts after watching this. I guess that was the point all along! Nice job My guy
Habba said she'd rather be pretty than smart because she felt she could "fake smart." She should have chosen smart because you can actually buy pretty, while cocktail knowledge of a subject doesn't count for smart, and really doesn't fool anyone.
For anyone wondering how someone could have been tricked like that, being scammed doesn't make you dumb. Especially since both Alina and Melichar were using classic abuser tactics. Being abused makes you very likely to end up in another abusive situation, especially if its when you're trying to escape. Bianco was abused and defrauded. Nobody deserves that. And nobody can do anything to "earn" that, no matter how ill advised (literally in this case) the decisions they made were.
Not to mention she wasnt even old enough to drink at the time (20 yrs old). Habba knew this and preyed upon it, no wonder Trump picked her for his "elite strike force", god help us.
If you aren't expecting someone to take advantage of you, and you are not in a state of perpetual paranoia, you tend to take things at face value, which is how scammers and con artists take advantage. They say superficially plausible things, and as you don't expect people to routinely lie and manipulate you are not on guard. It is easy to recognize others falling for scams after the fact looking from the outside, but it is surprising how many people well aware of how scammers work who can still be taken in by con artists in their own lives as they aren't constantly questioning whether everyone they meet is conning them.
These scammers are serious masterminds
When I was a wee law student, it was always drilled into my head that "acts of moral turpitude" were the kind of very bad things that you shouldn't do because they're directly relevant to your ability to practice law. Things like dishonesty (thefts, lying, deceiving someone with the intent of gaining some pecuniary benefit) would almost guarantee a suspension or even the loss of one's license. Assuming these allegations are true, they scream "moral turpitude."
What? This is what lawyers do. They lie, cheat and steal to protect the guilty and defang their victims.
As an aside, your name is really cool
We were taught exactly the same thing, though at my law school, it was considered that ruining the lives of people was worse than crimes of mere 'pecuniary dishonesty.'
If the state bar actually investigated acts of moral turpitude. But getting someone disbarred for moral turpitude is often one bar too high.
So pumped to see a sponsorship from GiveWell!!!!
No surprise that Haba is as deceitful and vile as she appears when defending Trump and attacking his accusers. But this is particularly low. Disbarment is not enough, significant monetary compensation to the victim and a prison sentence for Haba seem bare minimums. Her fellow prisoners are likely to ensure a suitable penalty is dealt out.
Habba knows her days as a lawyer are numbered. Her press conferences in front of the courthouse are auditions for a show on Fox 'News'
I think she's auditioning to be the next ex-Mrs. Trump. Melanoma would be so relieved if she took that repellent job.
Maybe a seat in the Congress...
yea yea sure. Biden also knows his days are numbered/. Big deal./
Yes auditioning for some kind of role, as her legal career, is now toast.
@@antoniofernandesmarchetti1097 That's step two after Fox, she's got to build up her profile first. While there's no shortage of angry white ignorance there, Jersey isn't a GOP stronghold.
So no only did she say that lawyers want to take control over you, She also said "I want to protect you" pretty much the same thing that the harrasment manager said.
Your videos provide fodder for seamless ad integration. Very cool
I am very interested into when this moves to Bianco officially sues the Club, Habba and Trump and what kind of communication is unearthed on the Club/Trump/Habba side of the fence. The NDA already works against Habba since it clearly states that the parties have no legal representation; no attorney-client privilege to fall back on.
As they say, when you've committed a crime, you don't want a criminal lawyer, but a *criminal* lawyer

This episode sure brought out the trumpie brigade. I'm glad that I'm not so involved in a personality cult that I feel obliged to defend a criminally malignant narcissist.
I'm continuously surprised how cheaply trump can be bought. All you have to do is flatter him and do some ethics violations
To be fair, Alina has adjusted her looks to Trump taste - long hair bleached just a bit, a little plastic surgery, wearing Boebert dresses while hanging out at Maralardo....
To be fair he will not a lift a finger once you kissing his ass comes back to bite you he just cut you loose. Ask Rudy and the rest his lawyers he got disbarred lol
@@jeannerogers7085 ...and winds up looking uncomfortably similar to Ivanka. I wonder if it was purposeful.

Joe biden was bought..how much has he made??...Trump lost money while president..corrupt people are supposed to get richer...you people are blind.
We really need stricter laws against lawyers acting in bad faith. They are in a position of power and public trust, and should be held accountable when they abuse that.
Just see how the CA Bar association did not stop Girardi.
@@forrestfey They did worse than that, they worshiped him, put him in the bar HOF, and literally protected his criminal behavior. He donated millions to democrat campaigns, which only tells me that he was bribing dems to protect him, in the DOJ, CA courts, and governors. Luckily, dems will go after criminals in their ranks, and he has finally been removed. Took about 20 years. Great shame of CA.
@@forrestfeywho is Giardi?
what do you mean stricter laws? why do the laws already on the books need more to them?
We really don't. Everything she did here is extremely, extremely illegal. It's purely a question of enforcement.
Very good item, excellently explained and easy to understand, many thanks.
Everything and everyone connected to this traitor is pure poison.
This is the same lawyer who did this: "Habba brags that Trump is 'incredibly intelligent' and “doesn't need trial prep.” Fanni Willis and Jack Smith will use it to push for quick trial dates." And this: "At this point, Habba objected to the email being entered as evidence, claiming that it was never sent, The Messenger's Adam Klasfeld reported. Prosecutor Kevin Wallace told Habba that the document she objected to was one of her team's own documents." Oops.
And of course she forgot to check the box for a trial by jury...
@@fluxrider7027 She didn't forget. Narcissism made her think she didn't need one.
@@jonahfalcon1970 You may be right. She is clearly in the advanced stages of a trump infection.
What is infuriating is how unethcial people like Habba, Avanati, etc (and to a greater extent Trump) ever get into higher positions of power and sociatal clout.
Because they were either rich, or piggybacked off of people with wealth and power. Power protects Power after all.
@@AegixDrakan It's because they're smart enough to climb but arrogant enough to believe they won't leave a trail. Smart people who believe they're smart as opposed to most intelligent people who have been around other intelligent people and are more likely to think of themselves as "normal". People love to pin these things on power or money but more often than not the first and foremost reason is intelligence/sociability and power and money come later if at all.
It is usually because of wealth and being from a wealthy family, or close friends with them, because nepotism is incredibly common among the generationally wealthy. It's one good reason why there should be a cap on the amount of money one person can hoard & hold on to. It really messes up the economy in so many ways, but most people ignore that very glaring issue because everyone thinks they want to be a billionaire.
> The human spectrum
Most reasonable people don't want to dedicate their lives to scams or to telling other people what to do with their lives. The kind of people who will do anything to have that power tend to be nutjobs and assholes. Which is why politicians are hated even more than lawyers.
Masterful analysis and truth-telling. Kudos
This is not only worthy of disbarment, this deserves criminal charges. Blah Blah belongs in jail.
Yeah, but courts aren't exactly fond of dealing with lawyers for bad legal things. I mean if you're a supreme court justice you can get away either anything. *cough* Clarence Thomas *cough*
@@MatthewDoye *Clarence “Uncle” Thomas
Lawyers are above the law, basically. Great system.
I want to add in something. If you're being harassed at work you definitely need a lawyer, but for the love of all that is good don't consult with HR first. HR is there to protect the business, not you. Go directly to your lawyer and don't sign anything HR or your employer gives you until your lawyer has looked it over.
this ought to be pinned to the top of the comments. everyone who isn't self-employed needs to know this, repeat it to themselves daily, and take it to heart.
Agreed. I get the sense that HR will side with individual employees in cases where the offender is a higher liability to the organization than the employee (i.e. not common). I've taken things to HR before but mostly in a case where I knew a senior staffer was breaching enterprise agreements (manager misrepresenting a role to force subordinates to work 110% capacity as standard while refusing to provide position descriptions) that could expose the workplace to legal or financial action from our state governments fair work laws.
Yes. Become a member of an union because they often can provide legal assistance for those who need it. No union is perfect, but it might be worth it just because collective power and solidarity is very powerful.
Yes! The only time to go to HR is to leave a paper trail or if you're confident you can make an offending party out to be a liability to the company. Catching them doing something illegal that can be traced back to them easily, for example.
One of the best explanations for HR I ever heard was from a much more experienced co-worker who told me HR was there to keep employees as far away from management as possible.
I appreciate the level of detail in this content. Shady lawyers are not a shock to anyone. This level of shady is just astounding. Trump needed a criminal lawyer so he hired a Criminal Lawyer. On the bright side he can expect good prices on parking in her husbands garage.
Yes. She needs to be disbarred.
I think future law schools might have an "Ethics and Trump's Attorneys" course where they go over cases involving Trump to highlight what unethical (or outright illegal) things his attorneys did. Highlight the bad to let the upcoming lawyers know what NOT to do.
I thnk they already got classes and professors telling you this kind shit will cost you your job lol. Its not like its a secret. Its like people going "oh after that screw up the company is gonna make you sign a peice of paper saying they told you that stupid thing Kevin did was wrong." Every one signs it 2/3 go "who would be that stupid why they making us sign this?" The other 1/3 go "I know right, why is it even that big a deal this is only because they got caught if they didn't they wouldn't care..." Seen that shit so much were like the manager will tell you "Legally I have to say don't do that, but...." Then they find a way to word-salad it to do that thing or get fired lol I have met so many people who lie to your face, then when caught in the lie deny it all, because they hoped no one would find out sigh. They every where in the world people who go "its only illegal if you get caught, I am not hurting any one." Or "Its their damn fault for being that gullible some one tricked me once so its fair I trick them now." Like amount of times I seen that "some one did it to me its not fair unless I can do same to others!" Its like no shit it wasn't fair when they did it to you! Like so many people do petty shit with that excuse, its like its still wrong, even if it happened to you and they got away with it doesn't mean you doing it to another person some how cancels it out, no it just means you are doing a bad thing making this a cycle of excusable behavior. Like my dad did that to "worse things happend to me so suck it up!" Its like yeah you were dumbass who didn't know you had a choice I do know I got a choice. Now he is almost 70 with no one wants to see his ass, complaining to every one who listen about hwo he was a victim for why he did bad thigns, its like ok appolgize and I might come back "that was the apology I am victim I don't got apolgize!" No no you were a victim then created more apologies for what you did, you got repent that part not explain it sigh.
The law school equivalent of Enron for accountants
How to properly dye hair before a press statement.
In "introductory Business Law" (pre-law) class they discuss the difference between morals and "business ethics". Something can be TOTALLY morally bankrupt and completely ethical in business contract law. Lawyers are representing their clients financial interest, NOT their "good name"...
Doesn't matter. The current system is REALLY bad at punishing bad lawyers. Giuliani and Powell haven't been disbarred. If anything, we're sending the message to future lawyers that If you do illegal shit you'll probably at most face a slap on the wrist with a letter.
I'm SO glad that the Legal Eagle team is on the side of the constitution and democracy.

Disclaiming being an official attorney, while giving legal advice, but advising illegal action, while ALSO being linked to the defendant... woof. That seems like the sort of hypothetical that a professor would give when they were having a bad day
And the professor would probably start out with "Now this may not be a realistic example, but just to give you an extreme scenario..."
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking: the perfect question to ask on our Ethics exam.
I feel so sad for this poor girl. To be 21 and to be so taken advantage of, she doesn't deserve any of this at all. I hope she at least is able to get a good settlement (AFTER TAXES)
TIL that New Jersey still has separate courts of law and equity. These allegations describe some of the most reprehensible lawyer conduct I can imagine, and I compulsively read legal discipline decisions from my home jursidictions. The only thing that would mitigate it, if true, is that it wasn't a pattern of conduct.
There must be a pub/saloon/bar/club in New Jersey called "The Legal". That's the only way I can even comprehensively accept that Alina Habba "passed The Legal bar" exam in NJ.
This made me flash back to the time my Dad met with a lawyer and signed a will giving away all of his personal records to a state government agency - who then came in a cleared out the house. Unfortunately dad - bedridden with dementia - already had a lawyer, a will, and a trust, and advanced care directive and a trustee (me). These documents just did not say what these other people wanted so they brought in this new lawyer. Got a formal letter of apology from the Lawyer involved - and the State Agency - and got everything back. Some lawyers have no ethics at all and not all of them work for Trump.
Nothing says "You need to speak to a lawyer" like "You don't need to speak to a lawyer"

A woman lawyer who protects abusers of women and preys on the victims for her own profit is probably one of the most disgusting things I've heard. She should be in prison if true, not disbarred. Edit: not saying a man shouldn't go to prison for the same thing.
