That's still essentially all she is doing. It's fun to laugh at her for antagonizing the judge, but it's clear to everybody but Trump himself that she's just putting on a show for his benefit, and that's more important to her than getting optimal results in court.

Trump, like Jones, is a nightmare client in that he tells his lawyers the arguments he wants them to make rather than letting them make the arguments they think are going to work. It's why they both cycle through lawyers like poo poo through a goose.

I honestly, 100% believe that this is what Habba is shooting for. After Jan 6th, Trump will want no one else but the ultimate toady, and she's clearly vying for that title.

it legitimately isn't relevant. your job as a lawyer is to present the strongest possible argument for your client, not to win.

however, a relevant followup question would be "procedurally speaking, did these cases go well?" and habba would still be hosed because no she FAFO'd hard

all that stuff is irrelevant anyway because she's going to get disbarred for her gross misconduct on other cases. at this point she'll be hoping to run up a congressional seat on a maga ticket, probably not realizing that maga as a movement is liable to scatter like a bunch of underage kids at a loud party when trump dies.

I'm sure there is in fact some combination of capable, attractive, willing to debase themselves for career advancement, but a continuing through line in the legal sagas Trump is enduring is the fact that he brings so much reputational risk that none of the actual prestigious firms want anything to do with him. Even a mega firm like Skadden doesn't want his stench on them.

Like a former POTUS should have attorneys fighting to represent him. But he has to rely on attorneys whose resume include fighting over a parking lot business. Absolutely incredible.
