Weasel of The Week: Alina Habba

 "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes."----Andy Warhol

Prior to the start of the current defamation trial between Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, Trump's dimwitted attorney, Alina Habba, addressed a conservative "Christian" online ministry run by Amanda Grace, and tried to claim that there are "demonic forces" at work against Trump.

Like, there are reasons her fellow attorneys don't like Alina all that much. Trump hired her largely because she's telegenic, not so much for legal smarts, which she clearly doesn't have, as she's way out of her depth in defending the oldest baby in America. Habba also claimed today that Carroll was trying to "get famous" at Trump's expense. 

That's not entirely true. As noted above, Carroll was well known in the 90's, then faded from public view. Her legal battle with Trump brought her back into the spotlight.

Farron Cousins explains:

Alina is getting her 15 minutes of fame by being associated with Trump, so we'll say she's doing some deflecting here. What she's also getting is a set of Weasel ears for flat out lying to her audience on YouTube. In turn, she helped Amanda Grace get some attention, because, well, I didn't know who she was until today.
