And many of Trump&#8217;s private lawyers (i.e. Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Powell, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeff Clark) have either been sanctioned or disbarred, or are now co-defendants in his criminal enterprise.

Her defense took a bizarre, and uncharacteristically honest detour when she asserted that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Elected officials have to do what&#8217;s popular, and sometimes not what&#8217;s right. And that&#8217;s a problem. That\u2019s I think why people get nervous with Trump. He doesn\u2019t do what\u2019s popular or what\u2019s right. I&#8230;um&#8230;er&#8230; cause he only does what\u2019s right.

That was close. Habba caught herself after accidentally telling the truth that Trump <em>&#8220;doesn&#8217;t do what&#8217;s right.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s obvious in light of his current legal tribulations. People who do what&#8217;s right generally aren&#8217;t showered with indictments. However, Habba still maintains that Trump <em>&#8220;doesn&#8217;t do what&#8217;s popular.&#8221;<\/em> And that is affirmed by virtually every poll of the American people who oppose his positions on everything from immigration to taxes to Ukraine to abortion and more. So Habba was right the first time. What Trump does is neither popular nor right.<\/p>\n<p>The track record for Trump&#8217;s legal team is downright pitiful. They have already lost more than 60 court cases challenging the election outcome; lawsuits affirming his fraudulent operation of a charity and a university; and the recent case where a jury agreed that he defamed and sexually abused writer, E. Jean Carroll. But Habba may be the worst of the lot. In a recent interview on Fox News, Habba responded to a question about the legal peril that Trump faces by asserting that he&#8217;s living in a fantasy world where such troubles don&#8217;t exist&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57082\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Attorney Tells Fox News He\u2019s Not Facing Reality, He\u2019s Denying the Prospect of Prison<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No wonder <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57688\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is engaging in ever greater freak outs<\/a><\/strong> the close he gets to his trial dates.
