'She got paid extra to say that': Alina Habba mocked on MSNBC for Trump appeal brag
The entire panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend" had a good laugh on Saturday morning over comments Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba made about fighting the massive financial fraud penalty her client was saddled with which has now surpassed $454 million.
During a panel discussion with former DOJ official Mary McCord on how quickly the embattled former president needs to come up with cash for an appeals bond, co-host Michael Steele cited an interview Habba gave to "The Hill" where she called Trump "one of the smartest businessmen, one of the greatest president we have ever seen."
Singling out Habba also claiming, "If she [New York AG Letitia James] thinks she is going to take him down. If that was her goal, which we all know very well it was and she got a strong assist there in court. But I will tell you this, that goal will not be successful and that is the message I can give to everyone listening here. It will not be successful,” Steele joked, "She got paid extra to say that."
He continued, "So, in what part of this process does the court call BS? That is, essentially, where we are."

"I think that is kind of what Judge [Arthur] Engoron did yesterday when he rejected the request to stay this judgment for 30 days," McCord replied. "And he's like, you haven't given me any good reason, take it up with a court of appeals if you want to take it up, right?"
"Again, if they post the bond and appeal it will be stayed pending that, they just need to take those steps," she added.
