Trump Picks WORST LAWYER in USA as…his TOP COUNSELOR?!
When you are Trump’s lawyer responsible for: 1) a $450 million fraud judgment; 2) a total of 50+ felony convictions in 2 trials; 3) 2 jury’s finding that your client committed sexual abuse and has to pay over $100 million in punitive damages; 4) losing every appeal you’ve ever handled, and (5) have been fined $1 million dollars for frivolous federal filings, should you be (A) fired or (B) promoted? Well, Alina Habba just got “promoted” to White House Counsel, and Michael Popok explains why having someone with such demonstrated poor political skills and legal judgment whispering into Trump’s ear, is a very good thing.Keep up with this issue at https://au.org/legalafRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.
