The former president’s legal team requested a trial delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She attended the party one day later.
Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, was spotted rubbing elbows with Republicans in New Hampshire on Tuesday, just the day after asking for a delay in the ex-president’s defamation trial because she was feeling under the weather.
On Monday, one of the nine jurors considering writer E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation suit against Trump was excused for being ill.
Though Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyers agreed to continue the trial with eight jurors, Trump’s legal team requested a delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She was not wearing a mask during the hearing.
The next day, however, Habba was sighted celebrating Trump’s win in the New Hampshire primary by NBC News’ Garrett Haake.
Yes, she really is this stupid.
Maybe she can’t fake being smart.
She’s so bad at faking smartness that she can barely be dumb.
Evil, that evil.
It’s just mind boggling, someone who went to school for at least six years and passed the bar could actually be that dumb. Arrogance that suggests Dark Triad?
As they say- do you know what they call the person who comes last in medical school? Doctor.
Still, the bar exam is no easy peasy task! Unless they bribed the proctor, which is also possible but I’m trying not to go full tinfoil hat!
It’s one thing to be “smart” enough to memorize answers to a test. Hell, I’m damn good at it myself. But it’s another thing to have common sense and good judgement. Obviously this lawyer is a prime example of being one and not the other.
Yup, my high school valedictorian was the dumbest person I’ve ever met. But she could regurgitate information on a test without understanding it.
I never thought I was smart or dumb, just like a really, really good test taker. I didn’t retain close to what I should have from my university years.
Same. Pretty much I retain information just long enough for it to be useful, then I forget it as soon as I start learning/doing something else.
You can not memorize the bar exam.
How else do you explain being able to pass any exam, bar or not, if you do not memorize answers? Granted, I’m not suggesting that anybody knows the exact questions on any exam, but rather that you study material that gives you the answers to whatever questions may be asked.
I’m guessing it’s easier in some states than others and I’m also guessing she chose an easy state.
I retract you can not memorize a bad exam. Thinking of Miriam Bialik’s photographic memory. Agree some states have low bar exams🤣.
And that is the difference between ‘knowledge’ and ‘wisdom’.
