I've been following up on the miasma of buffoonery this 'lawyer' has been unleashing lately.
Most recently on the latest episode of the Serious Trouble podcast, hosted by Josh Barro and Ken White, the latter being an attorney who used to (in my opinion) hilariously mock bad lawyering under his Twitter alias @Popehat
Sadly it's a subscription service now, unlike their previous podcasts All The President's Lawyers etc.

Basically this Alina Habba person is pretty much guaranteed to be disbarred sooner or later. According to a new lawsuit by a former client Habba represented before working for Trump, she horribly screwed over her client in a sexual harrassment lawsuit against the Trump Bedminster company. Alina Habba negotiated a settlement, which the client signed but Habba lied
repeatedly (including in writing) to her client and withheld crucial details in order to obscure and mislead how much of a gift to the defendant it was. The settlement was a mere
$5000.
Take a wild guess who Alina Habba went to work for immediately after screwing over that case...
All allegedly of course but the case contains provably false written communications where she's lying and/or misleading her client in favor of the defendant, so the 'alleged' doesn't help her out much here. Either way she's already proudly established herself as a horribly bad and unethical lawyer anyway.
This lawsuit won't change that much, the bar (pun intended) is already near rock bottom.
Lawsuits aside, this is who we're talking about here
Woo yeah let's hear some applause for my $1m sanction for being an unbelievably bad lawyer
In that case, which was so bad that bringing it in the first place was inherently sanctionable, she was ordered to
pay Hillary Clinton.
