13:06Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump's desperate schemes to install his incompetent personal lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey's US Attorney despite her complete lack of prosecutorial experience and record of courtroom failures. They reveal how federal judges rejected Habba when her 120-day interim appointment expired, instead choosing seasoned career prosecutor Desiree Grace, only to watch Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately fire Grace in retaliation. The hosts break down Habba's laughable qualifications: graduating from a bottom-tier law school, getting sanctioned $1 million for filing baseless lawsuits against Hillary Clinton, and being mocked by federal judges for "incomprehensible" legal filings. They examine Trump's transparent workaround attempt—withdrawing Habba's nomination so Bondi can appoint her as "First Assistant US Attorney" to automatically fill the vacant top role. A devastating look at how Trump rewards legal incompetence with lifetime power while undermining judicial authority, proving that when cronyism meets constitutional law, even failed reality TV lawyers think they deserve to run federal law enforcement.
