Sarcasm Levels Skyrocket Over Alina Habba’s New Trump White House Gig

LOADINGERROR LOADING

President-elect Donald Trump announced this weekend that he’d tapped his onetime defense attorney, acolyte Alina Habba, for a role in his second term.

And critics had… thoughts.

Habba will serve as a counselor to Trump, a role that veteran Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway (of “alternative facts” fame) occupied during the returning POTUS’ first term.

With Habba as his lawyer, Trump was found liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll and guilty of defaming the writer.

Former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg, a legal analyst for MSNBC, wished on social media: “May she be as effective a Counselor to Trump in the White House as she was in court.”

Veteran GOP political consultant Mike Madrid wrote: “When you got dumped but he tells you he still wants to be good friends.”

“She’ll fit right in with the “Alternative Facts” standard that Kellyanne Conway set..” said one commenter. And added another: “If she’s as good at this job as she is being his private sector lawyer, the odds of him being impeached and convicted just increased exponentially.”

Trump names Alina Habba as his counselor to the president. The taxpayers are now paying his personal lawyer. pic.twitter.com/vA19DMN11q

I will say emphatically that Alina is as qualified as the rest of Trump’s selections! 🙄

It should be infuriating to you that we taxpayers now have to foot the bill for Alina Habba’s salary.

What “Counsel” is she going to provide Trump in the WH?

She has no track record in politics. She was bad at law too.

Let’s hope it’s a ceremonial role.
