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

[-] [email protected] 87 points 11 months ago

She really needs to meet new people.

[-] [email protected] 63 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 55 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago

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!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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

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.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

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...

[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard 12 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Well she is surrounded by lawyers buh dum tiss

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Unless… she’s lying…

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

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!

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

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

Yup, that's totally a lie ...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I thought lying in court was illegal?

How many rubles did she get to say that

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

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).

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

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 6 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Only the best, most honest people work for the most ethical, stable, genius.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

She's either the best liar on the planet or the most ignorant person on the planet. Neither bodes well for the spray orange turd.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Ah, I love a good burn on Americans.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

She really should be disbarred for that statement, since it shows that she is too separated from reality to effectively practice law

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

key part of the phrase is "out of people she knows". man I realize it pays a lot but having to constantly isolate yourself less you get to know literally aaaaannnnnnnyyyyyyoooooonnnnnneeee!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Hasn't she been indicted already?
