Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

She really needs to meet new people.
She's his attorney... Literally paid to say such things.
I hope she got her money up front, he doesn't exactly have a good track record of paying his lawyers on time.
I don’t believe that’s true for a second. Only someone unethical would do that, and I have it on good authority that he is very ethical!
The best ethics! Perfect ethics. Nobody is more ethicier!
Everytime someone describes trump with "best, most, ever" in a positive statement I always assume it's trump telling them specifically to say that. He has the best words after all.
correct.
I know, that she is getting paid and all. But damn... Thats just degrading. No amount of money would bring me to tell such a embarrassing lie. Alone the word "most" puts every other of her social interactions into scale. She basically said: "Me, my mom, my husband?, my kids?, my best friend, they are all ethically worse than Trump." This person seems to have no values.
she is getting paid
Oh, was this lawyer actually smart enough to get payment up front? Because we know Trump normally doesn't pay his lawyers after the fact. If she got paid, she has no values.
Yeah, my first thought there is...what sort of crowd do you usually run with then?
I mean, she is a lawyer. That's what they do.
Most lawyers, yes, are heartless capitalist fee-gouging sociopaths. But some of us do a lot to help the helpless, to our own detriment. We give everything for the underdog fighting these snakes.
So, while I don’t take the generalisation personally—because it’s largely true—please never forget the minority of broke empathetic legal practitioners toiling away behind the scenes seeking actual justice for clients.
Following that logic, it means she doesn't know any ethical people.
Well she is surrounded by lawyers buh dum tiss
So, odds on when she leaves the team and starts telling people what a shit-show he really is?

The second she has a book published and starts doing a promo tour for it, and not one minute before.
I'm so sick of that shit. These people should be charged with being complicit for hiding crimes.
Funnily enough, she may end up getting charged for lying on her affidavit that there were no more classified documents at Mar a Lago. She used some legalese AKA weasel words that may protect her, but it remains to be seen. She was, however, already sanctioned for over $1 million dollars, and I wouldn't be surprised if she was disbarred by the time all is said and done.
I’ve met sewer rats with a better sense of ethics.
Where did trump even find this lawyer? The 8th circle of hell?
Bottom of the barrel. All of his other lawyers have dumped him.
Considering so many people refused to work for him, it’s possible. P
Says less about Trump and more about everyone else she knows...
Unless… she’s lying…
Trump is really running out of qualified attorneys. This lady only got into law a decade ago and up until now has represented reaility stars in petty civil cases. This is who Trump has representing him over any of his current indictments? That's wild!
He turned them over, he cooperated as he always does.
Yup, that's totally a lie ...
I thought lying in court was illegal?

Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, praised the former president for being “the most ethical American” she knows after he was hit with fresh superseding charges that accused he and his handlers of deleting footage sought by the federal government in a classified documents case.
I know you're just quoting but that should really be "accused him" rather than "accused he"
Nice catch. Perhaps this is how we know this article wasn’t written by an AI lol.
45 has a real penchant for surrounding himself with people who say things he wishes were true rather than the actual truth. I doubt he knows (or cares) there's a difference.
Hopefully that's a good thing in the sense that his legal team is so incompetent and out of touch with reality, they will get steamrolled (just as all his election fraud nonsense did).
Why only the most unethical lawyer would say something so ridiculous.
I wonder if he will be ethical enough to pay her?
"Attorney wont insult their client on cam" thank you for the hard hitting journalism
Ah, I love a good burn on Americans.
Only the best, most honest people work for the most ethical, stable, genius.
"He's at least as ethical as I am!"
She's either the best liar on the planet or the most ignorant person on the planet. Neither bodes well for the spray orange turd.
She really should be disbarred for that statement, since it shows that she is too separated from reality to effectively practice law
key part of the phrase is "out of people she knows". man I realize it pays a lot but having to constantly isolate yourself less you get to know literally aaaaannnnnnnyyyyyyoooooonnnnnneeee!
