I'm not a lawyer, but even I'm smart enough to realize that the Trump legal koi pond is swimming in dangerous waters. Cast your mind back to the days following the humiliating defeat of Traitor Tot. There was a spate of some 64...
We have all seen Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba in action as the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial proceeds—at turns being bossy, ignoring his previous rulings, and not following the proper procedures for entering evidence and just generally not...
