Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, stated on Thursday that she was “ashamed to be a lawyer” following the former president’s charge for mishandling top-secret papers after leaving the White House.
Habba told Fox News’ Jesse Watters that the charge was merely an attempt to divert attention away from President Joe Biden.
“What they do is they say, ‘Oh, look at this shiny ball, Jesse. Look at the shiny ball. Let’s go after Trump. Whatever you hear about the Bidens, don’t worry about it. Trump, Trump, Trump.’ It’s called Trump derangement syndrome and now it’s becoming so sick,” Habba said.
She added:
“I’m embarrassed to be a lawyer at this moment, honestly. I am ashamed. I’m ashamed to be a lawyer.”
Critics, including conservative attorney George Conway, agreed:
I, too, am embarrassed that she’s a lawyer. https://t.co/RRrXFk6eOa

If I were a lawyer, I'd have been ashamed the very day I agreed to take on Trump as a client.

Yes she should be both embarassed and ashamed, but not for the reasons she's thinking.

She should be embarrassed to be a lawyer because she’s not one. She’s a paid propagandist.
