Alina Habba's incompetence strikes again! This time it reared its head in the motion for a mistrial in the E. Jean Carroll case. Habba, on Trump's orders, had filed a motion for a mistrial after Carroll admitted to deleting irrelevant emails after discovery for the case had ended. Habba tried to argue that this was tantamount to deleting evidence and therefore a mistrial was warranted, but the judge smacked that down by saying that not only were the emails irrelevant, but that Habba should have filed the motion weeks ago when she learned about it.
Also, Republicans in the Senate tanked the border deal that they had demanded, following orders from Donald Trump. Republican Senator James Lankford, one of the lead architects of the bill, admitted after the failure that a popular conservative media figure had actually threatened him several weeks ago, saying that he would "Destroy" the Senator if he passed the legislation. Lankford wouldn't reveal who the commentator was, but given the breadth of the conservative media, the "who" doesn't really matter.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene is so upset that her effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed that she's had to concoct an alternative reality in her head just to cope with her own failure. In an interview with Charlie Kirk following her stunning defeat, Greene suggested that the House Republicans who voted against impeachment must have been bribed because there's no other explanation for why they'd vote against it (except for the complete lack of evidence.)
Finally, in a truly bizarre and confusing rant on Truth Social, Donald Trump claimed that presidential immunity is needed to protect people like Presidents Biden and Obama, and then he suggested that the "opposing party" could make all sorts of demands of the president and threaten to prosecute them if they don't comply. This is obviously a thinly veiled threat against President Biden, but it also shows just how freaked out Trump is about losing the immunity case this week.
