Is Alina Habba Trump's Roy Cohn?

@windinhishair Cippolone, having taken the White House Counsel gig, may not have many more options, depending of course, what happens in 2024.

Dershowitz, I think, is pretty much a free agent, and has always seemed pretty careful about descending too far in Trump world, going back to academia, or even taking cases that won't turn into lucrative book deals. I expect he's approachable.

And yeah, I agree, any lawyers that want to gamble on representing Trump should be free to, and he should be able to hire them, but damn, if there's not a more treacherous client out there, I can' think of one. He's more likely to be a last client than anyone else I can think of.

@MistyCee Anyone that takes on Trump as a client proves P. T. Barnum correct that there is a sucker born every minute.

@windinhishair And yet, my guess is, it probably paid off for Dershowitz, who's biggest seller has probably yet to be written.

Seems like a risk/reward thing at this point, and the actual fees probably aren't as big of a thing as the possibility of losing her license or cashing in on a book or movie down the road.

@SomeMichGuy And Trump's been whining he can't find a lawyer as unethical or unprincipled ever since he left Cohn to die alone when he found out it was aids.

@MistyCee A true b*st*rd, the Trump fellow.

But to look up to Roy Cohn shows you his level.

@Northwest He's the client, though, and she's representing him, imo, in this instance, pretty well. She acknowledged the witness protection/witness intimidation thing, and still made her case.

I wouldn't be surprised if she takes shit from Trump for even saying that, but it seems like its in his best interest.
