The New Republic: Trump's lawyer Alina Habba quietly pays to make a Trump hush-money deal disappear

Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba recently escaped some legal trouble of her own.

On August 27, Habba settled a case brought against her by Alice Bianco, a former waitress at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, who had sued the club alleging that she was tricked into a hush-money deal after a supervisor sexually harassed her.

Bianco also sued Habba, accusing her of betraying ethics by offering her legal advice while helping the club secure a $15,000 deal in exchange for her silence. Just a few weeks after the deal, Habba joined Trump’s legal team.
...
According to New Jersey state law, an agreement like the one Habba set up “relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment” is “against public policy and unenforceable.” After attending mediation, Bianco and Habba agreed to an out-of-court settlement, but terms were not disclosed. It’s unclear how much Habba had to pay to make the lawsuit go away.
...
In the summer of 2021, Bianco sought legal counsel after getting fed up with her supervisor requiring her to “engage in sex as a quid pro quo for continued employment and protection,” according to her lawsuit.
...
Habba approached her as a concerned friend, offering to give her legal advice. Bianco didn’t know who Habba was. Habba convinced Bianco to drop her lawyer and hire her instead, then advised Bianco to accept the hush-money deal and keep the story out of the news.
...
Trump's gold club lawyers saying that the club “cannot be held liable for Ms. Habba’s purported misrepresentations.”
...
Habba persuaded Bianco to sign the $15,000 deal on August 21, 2021, and three weeks later, the attorney joined Trump’s legal team in his defamation lawsuit against a former Apprentice contestant, Summer Zervos.

“The timing could not be more definitive. She silenced me in order to be in Trump’s good graces,” Bianco said to NOTUS. “She is evil. She does the devil’s work for free. She acted as a caring guide in my life. She acted like she could help me, only to then completely ghost me and use me for her own success.”

Habba’s representation of Trump has brought her legal expertise into question, with her statements at times sounding like admissions of Trump’s guilt. In defending the former president, she seems to misunderstand legal terminology like “due process,” and during Trump’s E. Jean Carroll defamation trial was reprimanded 12 times in one day by the judge. Her case with Bianco is something entirely different, though: It calls into question her ethics and morals.

Fortunately, if there's one thing you can rely on in this uncertain world, it's Trump's relationship with the truth 🤪

The DJT stocks is massively over-valued. I'd estimate less than 1% of its assets are tangible, something you can touch. Its intangible assets are effectively worthless, mostly composed of the brand recognition of Trump's name.

In theory the NYSE could delist it; as its assets are largely intangible (In English "it ain't worth sh*t").

However even if the NYSE delisted it, for example DJT goes bankrupt, the stock would still exist and could be sold OTC "over the counter"

Regarding Trump selling, his advisors may have convinced him the race is close, and selling the stock now would burn the investors. Burnt investors are unlikely to vote for him, and could cost him the election.

More likely Donald "I frequently go bankrupt" Trump is making a bad business decision, as now would be the best time to dump the stock.

His advisors may have told him leaving untouched will keep the prices artificially high. A sudden precipitous drop will be bad publicity.

Trump's ego will have him believing he'll win and the stock price will sky-rocket, thereby thwarting his enemies. Adding ammo to this argument Trump won't sell his stock is his "I won't sell" announcement made the stock jump by 26%.

Two large investment firms, BlackRock & Vanguard are more-or-less politically neutral, and hold 5% of stock. They were never restricted from selling.

Trump holds 60% of the stock.

The CFO just sold 2 million of his stock, or sold 25% of his entire holding. CEO Devin Nunes has sold $632,000, or sold 43% of his total.

If this was Boris Johnson, "a man seemingly incapable of telling the truth" (The Guardian) then you could 100% guarantee he'd be selling his shares. With Trump you never know, claim he won't sell to stabilise the price, then sell once there's enough money to be made.

Trump loses again. Eddy Grant wins case with damages to be determined.

Business Insider: A federal judge in Manhattan has found former president Donald Trump liable for damages in a hotly-contested copyright battle over Eddy Grant's '80s dance hit "Electric Avenue." In a 30-page decision, the judge on Friday delivered a one-two blow that essentially ends the case pretrial, with nothing now left to determine but damages.

The Washington Post - Trump can’t accept his poor debate. So he’s spiraled into conspiracy theories.

14 Sep 2024

Former president Donald Trump has long inhabited a bizarre world of his own creation.

He rewrites history - or makes it up entirely - to aggrandize himself, denigrate others and spread the basest of lies.

It keeps getting worse.

Since Tuesday’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, he’s spiraled ever deeper into conspiracy theories, falsehoods and grievances.

He insists he is not a loser. He never lost the 2020 election, ... and he certainly didn’t lose that debate in Philadelphia.

He claims victory in an event in which he spent 90 minutes chasing Harris’s barbs down every possible rabbit hole. ...

This has been Trump’s pattern from the time he first became a candidate nine years ago.

If anything, he has become even less disciplined and more conspiratorial than he was back then.

This is the shit Trump causes.

It is incredible how Americans are so proud of their "Freedom of speech," with the exception of "not shouting fire in a theater."

That's precisely where Trump should be held responsible. He talks shit, and people do shit. January 6, and this

Wittenberg Campus Alert | Wittenberg University

"Wittenberg University is currently taking extreme precautions following an email that threatened a potential shooting on-campus tomorrow, Sunday, September 15, 2024. The message targeted Haitian members of our community. Wittenberg Police are cooperating with the Springfield Police Division and the FBI to investigate this threat."

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequence. These people should all be taken to jail. Trump should be the first one.
