A world where criminals are held accountable for their crimes, and where there are consequences for deliberate violations of the law.<\/p>\n<p>What made Habba&#8217;s appearance on Hannity&#8217;s show even more amusing, is how she chose to defend Trump following the devastating judgment against him. Did she bring up any legal arguments that attest to his innocence? Did she cite any flaws in the court&#8217;s procedures? Did she offer any proof of bias? Nope. Here is what Habba felt was her most compelling rebuttal to the ruling&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Ms. James had her shoes off in court. Let&#8217;s not forget that. I called it out in the closing arguments. But it&#8217;s true. She had a Starbucks coffee in her hand. She wasn&#8217;t doing work, and she wasn&#8217;t sitting at the counsel table. She was in the back with her shoes off and a coffee. And at the end of the day, we&#8217;re sitting there looking at this going &#8216;this is the state of our country.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s right! New York Attorney General Letitia James had the audacity to briefly remove her shoes while watching the proceedings. And to make matters worse, she was DCWB (Drinking Coffee While Barefoot). These will surely be among Habba&#8217;s main points in her motion to appeal. But she went on to say that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;AGs are so comfortable in court that they know they don&#8217;t even have to do the job. They don&#8217;t have to do the work. They&#8217;re going to let their people do it, and they&#8217;re going to sit there and they&#8217;re going to win. That&#8217;s a problem. So we will go to the next level. We are going to people that aren&#8217;t running on a campaign, running to get Trump before they are event in office, and we will win.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OMG!
