The rap sheet on Donald Trump is long and troubling. He has already been convicted of 34 felonies, and 54 more have been delayed due to his reoccupation of the White House. And that isn’t even counting the civil litigation that he has lost having to do with everything from his fraudulent charities, to financial misconduct, to sexual abuse, and more.<\/p>\n

Despite his penchant for incompetence, Trump has managed to effectively manipulate the legal process in order to avoid accountability for his multitude of crimes. As a result, he has largely escaped the consequences that any other criminal would face. So much for the American principle of no one being above the law. And yet, he is still whining about the situation that he has corruptly maneuvered to his advantage.<\/p>\n

Trump’s latest move to shield him from the justice that he deserves is his appointment of Alina Habba to be the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Habba has served as Trump’s personal lawyer and\/or spokesperson in several cases, including the Stormy Daniels election fraud (“hush money”<\/em>) case and the E. Jean Carrol sexual abuse and defamation case case. In the former Habba lost, costing Trump an $88 million settlement. In the latter she lost, costing him a whopping $450 million.<\/p>\n

So naturally, Trump is now promoting her from his White House counsel to U.S. Attorney. Never mind that she has zero experience as a prosecutor. She never had the experience required for her other posts under Trump either. He just likes her because she’s a pretty face who likes to spend her days exalting him on Fox News. In his announcement<\/a><\/strong> that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, he said that…<\/p>\n

“It is with great pleasure that I am announcing Alina Habba, Esq., who is currently serving as Counselor to the President, and has represented me for a long time, will be our interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The key part of that announcement is Trump’s admission that Habba “has represented me for a long time.”<\/em> It is extraordinarily uncommon for a president to put his personal lawyer into a federal prosecutor’s position. The conflict of interest could not be more obvious. And Habba herself affirms<\/a><\/strong> that improper association in her response…<\/p>\n

“As you know, I’ve stood by President Trump, his family, the organization, and many other clients in that state where I’ve been born and raised, and I’m raising my babies now, but there is corruption, there is injustice, and there is a heavy amount of crime right in Cory Booker’s backyard and right under Governor Murphy, and that will stop. I look forward to working with Pam Bondi, with the Department of Justice, and making sure that we further the president’s agenda.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Having “stood by the president and his family”<\/em> is not a qualification for an unbiased federal prosecutor. Nor is “further[ing] the president’s agenda.”<\/em> What’s more, Habba is parroting Trump’s penchant for pathological lying with her characterizations of crime in New Jersey. According to U.S. News and World Report, the state ranks 5th nationally<\/a><\/strong> for crime. And recent studies show that it is improving from there.<\/p>\n

It is also notable that Habba engages in brazen politicization of her new office. The only names she mentions in her statement are those of Democrats Gov. Phil Murphy and Sen. Cory Booker, both of whom she maligns without any substantive justification. That is not a harbinger of fair treatment going forward from a notoriously partisan legal hack.<\/p>\n

Trump can rest assured that Habba will never investigate any potential violations of the law committed by Trump. That’s certainly one of the main reasons he appointed her to the post in New Jersey, where he owns a golf resort, and where it has been reported that he stored some of the classified documents that he stole from the White House.<\/p>\n

Trump is clearly fortifying the legal bunker that he has built around himself. And Habba will work closely with Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his FBI Director, Kash Patel, to block any legal motions against him, while simultaneously pursuing vindictive, meritless actions against his political foes. It’s the very same path to dictatorship that was blazed by Trump’s totalitarian heroes.<\/p>\n
