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.

    Finally. At least somebody in the government has pointed out the obvious (as expected of the Freethought Caucus co-chair). Trump is a mob boss, and the people in his orbit are his inner circle doing his dirty work.

      Yeah, see Raskin was around back in the day when this mob bullshit was going on. He remembers.
