2023 Crookie Award: Trump's Awful, Horrible, No Good Lawyers

There is backhanded insult that I personally love to use: Have the day you deserve.

In Trump's case, I hope he has the attorneys he deserves.

And by that, I mean I hope he has attorneys that are just as offensive, dumb, rude and ineffective as he is. And it appears my wish is coming true.

Let's start with Alina Habba, the parking garage lawyer who got fined a whopping $1 million dollars for her ridiculous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton that was dismissed in 2022.

Then a little known lawyer defending Trump in the Georgia case declared the indictments faulty. Uh huh, ok.

Then we had a little lawyer vs lawyer attacking on CNN, with former Trump lawyer Timothy Parlatore dissing new Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina on live tv.

One of Trump's attorneys even recused himself from the Mar-A-Lago case!

Then reports came out about fears inside Trump's legal world, with fears of backstabbing and moles.

Back to Alina Habba, saying the quiet part out loud. Yikes.

John Lauro may be Trump's best "bad" attorney, because he is actually a very good litigator. Too bad he chose to tie himself to a terrible client, as shown with this horrible legal argument.

Let's not forget when Trump's own lawyers in his New York City fraud trial were gagged themselves!

For this, and more, Trump's lawyers have won a coveted 2023 Crookie Award! Congratulations to all the nominees!
