The blockbuster remark came moments before closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge threatened Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba with jail time on Friday, after the former president’s lawyer kept contesting a ruling after it had been issued.

“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup,” senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan warned. “Sit down.”

The bombshell remark came moments before the start of closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.

    Oh, I’m not certain she doesn’t understand. Performative art. She got used to performing in a way her main audience (mango mussolini et al) enjoyed in the no jury case, with state level Judge Engoran - that she thinks she can use the same tricks that make him smile on a federal judge.

    To me this is hubris, not ignorance. To be clear there is a fair bit of both, but thus is show work not trial work.

    Her inability to properly file evidence is her ignorance. Sass is for show imo.
