Former New Jersey U.S. Attorney Alina Habba was brutally needled in a Substack post on Tuesday by a former deputy chief at the U.S. attorney's office in New York.
Habba lost her bid to keep her job before a district court and appealed, but her track record of winning has never been strong, legal expert Kristy Greenberg said.
Greenberg outlined why Habba is "wildly unqualified" for the job, and noted she also has a track record of losing.
"She's got the only losing record in New Jersey worse than the Jets," Greenberg quipped.
She noted that Habba's short time as U.S. attorney was not only a "disaster" but "Snooki brought less chaos to New Jersey than Habba did."
Greenberg sounded the alarm about an upcoming appeals court decision on Habba, noting that if they rule in favor of Trump, it will effectively remove the Senate's "advice and consent" duties and the judicial responsibility to appoint a U.S. attorney in the event one cannot be confirmed.
It will also have a direct bearing on whether Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is legally representing the Eastern District of Virginia in court. If she is not considered "legal," all of her cases are dropped, including those against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, Greenberg explained.
"You know the cases are bad when the Trump-appointed Republican refused to charge them, knowing it would cost him his job," Greenberg continued. "You know the cases are bad when even Trump's own attorney general, Pam Bondi, and deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, said that there wasn't enough evidence to convict them, according to the New York Times."
"I haven't seen a trainwreck this out of control since I binged 'The Hunting Wives,'" Greenberg said of Halligan.
If Trump wins in the Habba campaign, she reiterated, "he gets a national army of unqualified loyalist soldiers who fight for Trump. Not the country."
