‘He Had It So Rough!’ Alina Habba Lashes Out Over Trump Criminal Cases After Biden Says They Went Too Slow
Trump lawyer and incoming counselor to the president Alina Habba complained that President-elect Donald Trump “had it so rough!” in response to President Joe Biden’s reported comments that cases against Trump weren’t pursued quickly enough.
This week, The Washington Post reported, among other things, that Biden privately regrets selecting Attorney General Merrick Garland, “complaining about the Justice Department’s slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump, and its aggressiveness in prosecuting Biden’s son Hunter.”
On Monday night’s edition of Jesse Watters Primetime, guest host Rachel Campos-Duffy asked Habba about that report, and Habba went off about how “rough” Trump had it:
RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: Joe Biden is playing the blame game now. He’s blaming, blaming Merrick Garland. He’s saying he wasn’t tough enough on Donald Trump. What do you make of that?
ALINA HABBA: Aww. He wasn’t tough enough, was it not tough enough? When we spent three and a half years with indictments, shams and hoaxes with cases, and the man had to go all night to go campaign while other people like Joe Biden were asleep on Rehoboth Beach.
He had it rough! He had it so rough! But he came out on top because America saw what they did.
You know Merrick Garland. He should be ashamed of himself, what he did, sending DOJs into New York, into New York, going after my client, going after President Trump and going after America. Rachel, that’s the truth.
It wasn’t just about President Trump. It was about our Constitution. It was about the foundation of this country. And they wanted to turn us into a third world country, into a banana republic. And they failed.
And, you know, shifting blame to Kamala, him saying things like, I could have beat Trump. It’s just a joke. You couldn’t have beat him. You didn’t beat him. And that’s what that’s why we won. We won majorly.
RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: Alina Habba, thanks for joining us and happy New Year.
