Alina Habba Is Probably Losing Her Job TOMORROW

Alina Habba has still not been confirmed to be the permanent US Attorney for New Jersey, and that is a big problem for her. Tuesday, July 22nd, will be her 120thday as the “interim US Attorney,” and that is a position that a person can only hold for 120 days. In other words, time is up and she’s going to have to find a new job. There’s a chance the courts could save her and extend her interim period, but that’s not looking hopeful for the incompetent lawyer. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Folks, there is a very good chance that Alina Haba is losing her job as of tomorrow. As we all know, Alina Haba has been the interim attorney for the district of the state of New Jersey, since Donald Trump appointed her to that position. Unfortunately, for Haba, however, she has not been confirmed by the Senate because as is tradition, uh, not really a rule, but it's tradition. And the tradition for some reason is holding. Thank God. If the senators from that particular state object to the person that has been nominated to be the US attorney, that person's nomination is effectively killed. Luckily, the two senators from the state of New Jersey do not want Alida Haba to be the acting or real, I should say, actual US attorney. Her nomination has not moved forward. And you may be wondering, like, okay, well she can still be the interim US attorney, right?

The answer to that is no, because an Interim US attorney can only serve for 120 days before they are kicked off the job and replaced by somebody else. Tomorrow is Alina Haas's 120th Day on the job Tuesday, July 22nd is her last day. Unless, of course, the District Court of New Jersey steps in and votes to allow her to become the actual US attorney. So Uhoh, that does present a problem because that US District Court for New Jersey can vote to basically confirm her completely doing away with the Senate's role. Now, that would be a problem if you didn't know about the makeup of the US District Court, because the vast majority of the people sitting on that US District Court for New Jersey are Biden appointees. Most of the rest of them are Obama appointees, and two of them, of course are appointees from George W. Bush. So you basically have a lot of judges that were not appointed by Republicans, the vast majority of them not appointed by Republicans.

So do you think those judges are going to step forward, sidestep the Senate, and, uh, let Alina Haba become the US attorney for the District of New Jersey? My guess is probably not. Although last week, of course, there was in fact a hearing where Alina Haba got to go and make her case to these judges like, oh, please let me stay. I want this job real bad. I don't know what else I'm gonna do. And we're awaiting their decision. It, it may come, uh, today, it may come tomorrow at the last minute, but either way, if I were Alina Haba, I would not be holding my breath. You had to go in front of a bunch of liberal appointed judges and tell them that you need to keep your position so that you can continue your targeted political prosecutions

Of Democrats in office. Hmm, something tells me that's probably not gonna be the most persuasive argument. But don't worry, folks. I have no doubt that Alina Haa, for some reason, in spite of the fact that she is the most incompetent lawyer I have ever seen in my life, and that's after 21 years in the legal industry, she'll land on her feet. She will either somehow get a job in the Trump administration, or she'll become a legal analyst for one of these conservative outlets. Maybe she'll launch a podcast or maybe she'll just become the lawyer, the go-to lawyer for all these conservative groups around the country, um, which that, what I would love to see, that would be hilarious, because then they're just gonna lose every case. 'cause that's what Alina Haba does. So she'll land on her feet. She'll probably land in a big old pile of money, but we don't have to worry about her actually having power in this country, assuming, of course those judges do the right thing and give her the boot.
