4:25Now PlayingDuring an interview with CNN, Donald Trump's lawyer Alina Habba was asked about the possibility of his supporters becoming violent should the arrest and indictment happen. Rather than actually answering the question, Habba went on an incoherent rant about Hunter Biden. "Hunter Biden" has become the de facto response from Republicans when anyone mentions any possible crime by Republicans, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Trump lawyer, Alina Haba went on CNN n to defend the former president as he expects his indictment any moment now. And rather than actually defending what Donald Trump did, she went on an incoherent rant talking about Hunter Biden, because the phrase Hunter Biden has just become the blanket catchall defense for really any Republican facing any kind of problem in this country. Like, Hey, we've got banks collapsing. Hunter Biden. Good, glad, glad that's off my back. Hey, we've got environmental issues, we've got fires and floods. Hunter Biden. All right, well, I guess that's a thing. And now with Trump's pending indictment, hunter Biden is what his lawyer screamed on cnn. So here's what happened. Alina Haba was asked by a host on CNN about Donald Trump's, you know, post over the weekend, his true social post saying he expects to be indicted Tuesday. Protest, protest, protest. And in response to that question, Alina Haba said this, I think it's very important. I think it's a very important thing that he does. Quite honestly. We've got Hunter Biden, who we've seen has ties to China. We have his dead brother's wife, who's now we've heard this week, has been funneling money from China as well as a a and is on payroll. So what happens is the Democrats now have to pull the wool over our heads.
Hunter Biden has ties to China. You know who else has ties to China? Because he has bank accounts in China. Your client, Donald Trump, Alina, not to mention the fact you're accusing Bo Biden's widow of illegally funneling money from China. She is not a public figure. That's a defamation lawsuit waiting to happen. God, I hope you get sued for that. I, I genuinely, sincerely want you to get sued for making that false statement on CNN on Sunday. Somebody please work on that lawsuit because she absolutely deserves it. She continues. And this gets even more incoherent. Say, okay, arrest Donald Trump. But that's exactly what that is. My client is getting ahead of it, and he's smart to do so. When you hear a lot of noise like this, we have to, uh, uh, pull the curtains back and say, this is a problem for Democrats. They're losing in the polls. He's ahead, and we've got major crises happening in New York. We have people dying. That is what a state DA is doing after a failed federal da. Couldn't do it. What, what, what, what does any, what do any of those words mean? Like in New York, there's people dying and that's what the DA should be doing.
The DA should be dying, or the DA should be killing people. Or the DA should be not killing people. The federal DA didn't do it. You said, I don't know what any of these words that are coming out of your idiot mouth mean other than of course, the part where you defamed Bo Biden's widow. So may maybe go back on cnn, Aleena, maybe gather your thoughts, and then try to put them out in a coherent manner. The fact that you can't string together a cogent sentence tells me that you are panicked beyond belief. You were in over your head because prior to working for Donald Trump, you were a parking garage lawyer. So you have no frigging clue what you're doing. This is not your area of expertise. Criminal defense, campaign finance violations. I'm sure you probably, we read a couple Wikipedia entries on it, and maybe that's what you think got you up to speed. But if this is the best, you've got this word salad. Yeah, I'd be worried if I were Donald Trump, because this is the most pathetic defense I've ever seen.
