Ex-GOP strategist warns Alina Habba she could be the next Mike Lindell

Trump fealty is costing many in his orbit plenty and they should serve as cautionary tales.

That's according to political consultant Tim Miller who fears some of former President Donald Trump's latest yes-people could follow down an expensive path that folks like Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell know all too well.

"I just don't understand," he said while appearing on MSNBC. "The people working for Trump right now Alina Habba, and his campaign staff — don't they look at Lindell, and Lyn Wood and Powell, and Rudy and all these people — and think: 'This is going to be me if I stick with this guy?'"

"That's the thing that's so distressing about this."

Habba served as one of Trump's legal counsel in both his civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James in which he lost and must pay $355 million in damages. She also defended him after seasoned trial attorney Joseph Tacopina quit Trump's second defamation case; the result of him owing $83.3 million to columnist E. Jean Carroll who accused him of sexually accosting her.

Indeed, it's been a tough week for some of the Trump's most stalwart surrogates.

Yesterday a federal judge turned the screws on MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell to pony up a $5 million arbitration award, ruling in favor of a software engineer who scrutinized purported data that Lindell claimed supported the premise that China meddled in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to benefit Joe Biden.

Trump's former attorneys including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood had the Supreme Court toss their appeal that leaves in place over $150,000 sanctions against them and other lawyers who were part of the lawsuit filed on behalf of six Republican voters after Joe Biden’s defeat of Trump in Michigan by 154,000 votes.

Miller believes that the just desserts are fine, but can't get past how much of the country and the GOP in particular is willing to entertain a potential rerun of Trump running for president.

"The accountability is good but the fact that we're going through this again after all the accountability is really frustrating," he said.
