Alina Habba said she expects Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to ‘step up’ for Trump after the ‘hell’ the former president went through to ‘place’ Kavanaugh
Rep. Jamie Raskin, R-MD., lashed out at Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba for thinking like a “New York mobster” after she appeared to pressure Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to “stand up” for Trump because the former president nominated him for the job.
“This is the way that New York mobsters think about judges: ‘Yeah, we own that one. We own that one. Get in that court — that guy’s in our pocket,’” Raskin said Friday night on MSNBC’s “The Last Word.”
For "fascists and authoritarian parties and movements, the law is really not what you know — it’s who you know. It’s always better for them to know the judge than to know the law. To know the law here is to understand that Donald Trump is disqualified,” said Raskin.
He’s absolutely right. And it’s absolutely awesome to see him call her (and Trump) out like this. This is some old school shit, and I’m here for it.
You’d think they would save this mob shit for the RICO trial.
I’m sure it could be used in that case, but it still applies here as well. It’s not like you can only use evidence once, and shouldn’t be calling these things out in real time if you have a platform to.
Don’t save it, shout it from the rooftops. This shit is not okay
No, I mean Habba. Doing this mobster shit. It was a joke because RICO is often used against mobsters.
