Daring a judge to throw your client in jail is not something that I would recommend that

lawyers do. But then again, that is the worst lawyer in the history of the United States of America. Alina Haba, everyone. I'm Ben Micellis from the Midas Touch Network. Alina Haba gave that interview to the far right-wing extremist network Newsmax, where she and the host dared the various judges, I think she was specifically talking about Judge N'Goran there, to throw Donald Trump in jail. I dare you. I'll show you a longer part of that interview right now where the host talks about how whack it is that these gag orders have been imposed and admits that Donald Trump is raising millions of dollars off of getting gag orders imposed on him.

And then Alina Haba says that she and Donald Trump don't think about him going to jail ever. But you'll notice what she says, though, is, but the Secret Service will never let that happen, which leads me to believe that not only do they think about this a lot, but that they have conversations with the Secret Service about it, who's assigned to Donald Trump's detail. And as she, I guess, tries to explain what her position is, her argument is that Donald Trump didn't do anything criminal. Okay, well, he's been indicted in numerous criminal cases. And then she says, the only thing he did wrong is make banks money. I mean, just an absurd and ridiculous thing to say. I mean, the facts that have been coming out in the New York Attorney General civil fraud cases that

Donald Trump engaged in systemic and persistent fraud throughout his career. And how do we know that? Maybe the testimony from people at the Trump organization, like the former vice president of the Trump organization and Jeff McConaughey and Allen Weisselberg and others. Well, here's the clip of Alina Haba. I guess she thinks this is kind of funny, but what we should reflect upon is we are lucky that Donald Trump is being represented by such a horrendous lawyer like Alina Haba, who has already been sanctioned in a federal court, nearly $1 million for filing one of the most frivolous lawsuits in the history of America. Here, play this clip.

What about the gag orders real quick? Because these things are just absolutely whack to me. He's campaigning for President of the United States again, and they're putting gag orders on him to what he can and can't say about a trial that is actually fueling his campaign, raising millions of dollars on it. How is this? Could they even possibly throw him in jail? What would that look like? He's protected by Secret Service, period. So I always tell people when they're panicked, listen, he's protected by Secret Service, number one. Number two, he did nothing wrong. So when people go to jails because they've done something wrong, do we have crooked situations in and out of court? Absolutely. Could they try? Probably. But it won't work because there is still trial process. There is still facts. And unfortunately, they're not going to win on the facts. Secret Service will always protect President

Trump. That's the truth. They have to wherever he is, but it's not an it's not even something we think about to be honest because This is all political. It's really not he's there's no criminal acts that he's done There's no civil wrongs that he's done unless making money for banks is a civil wrong all of a sudden orange man bad I mean, that's it's terrible. It's Trump derangement syndrome at its best. I'm not worried about him He's not worried and and the American public shouldn't be worried. He's succeeding for a reason. I will dare this judge to try to throw him in jail. First Amendment. First Amendment is a thing. It is a thing. All right. So then after that, Alina Haba starts attacking Chris Christie. And I don't know, she acts like she's like friends with Chris Christie. I'm not going to be all

that nice to Chris Christie here, but Chris Christie's trying to make a name for himself. What do you mean he's trying to make a name for himself? He was the former top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Say what you want about Chris Christie. Unlike Alina Haba, Chris Christie was a real lawyer who knows a thing or two about corruption cases and states that he is convinced Donald Trump will be convicted in connection with lots of these cases and especially the Washington DC case now that Mark Meadows got an immunity deal and other Trumpers will be testifying against Donald Trump.

But watch Alina Haba go after Chris Christie here in that same interview, play the clip. Decided to run, now I know why. I'm not gonna be that nice to you, Chris. You're not doing well. He's not doing well. And his whole shtick right now is to piggyback on talking about Trump, frankly, just like Michael Cohen did. You just piggyback and try and get a name for yourself and it doesn't work. He's failed at many times in politics. He's going to fail again, clearly. And frankly, he should just drop out at this point, in my opinion.

Well, I think so too. I mean, and I guess that's her line. I mean, Alina Haba, who is literally doing every, it's all projection and confession, right? She's someone who's doing this to make a name for herself. And she's basically sold her soul and sacrificed her bar card for fame and notoriety here. So it's all projection and confession when she says, this is all about just attorney generals and district attorneys trying to make a name for themselves. Here, play this clip. It just doesn't make sense because there is no there there.

This is all political. This is all AGs, DAs trying to make a name for themselves, the Fannie Willis's of the world who nobody knew beforehand. And, you know, trying to make a name for themselves, the Fannie Willises of the world who nobody knew beforehand. And, you know, they will have a name for themselves. Unfortunately, when we win, it will not be a good one. I think the attorney generals and district attorneys, unlike you, Alina Haba, have already made names for themselves based on merit. They got elected to their positions as either attorney generals or district attorneys by rising through the ladder in a meritocracy and showing achievement. They don't need to make a name for themselves. They are doing their job. You, on the other hand,

basically lie about every single thing and have continued to make a fool of yourself, a fool of your client, who's already a fool. And so as we always say, you get the lawyer you deserve and oh, did Donald Trump deserve Alina Haba.

And by the way, do you remember back when the Georgia indictment was being discussed and Alina Haba went on Fox and even Steve Doocy of Fox was like, all right, are you concerned about this? And her line always is, no, I got super secret information here and we're not concerned at all. Play this clip.

Andy McCarthy, a Fox News contributor, and also he wrote an op-ed in the New York Post. He said that the Georgia indictment is the most perilous threat to former President Trump. Does President Trump know that this is a perilous threat? We do not agree that it is a perilous threat because we actually have inside information. So I love when people, you know, well, the inside information, Steve, and you know, you used to love Trump, but I got to tell you, I mean, this is something I'm not going to breach, right? I have confidentiality and I have ethics and I'm going to continue. But I think you need to understand something when somebody is given a report and he has

reports that show that there was interference and you could be advised by one lawyer that says, oh, I don't think so. And you could have another lawyer that says, no, I do think so. And here's some reports. And we know that there were issues in Fulton County. Right. We know it's not a question. There was election issues and the integrity of our election is in question at this very moment. And when he says, I want to look into it, I don't trust it. We need to look into it. That's his obligation as a president. OK, look at Letitia James, for instance, Steve Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, stood up on a podium who's suing the Trump organization and said President Trump is an

illegitimate president. Now, is she going to get criminally charged? What about Hillary Clinton? Well, what's happened since that time? You've had Sidney Powell, you've had Jenna Ellis, you've had Ken Chesborough and one other defendant, but three of Donald Trump's lawyers have pled guilty, two to felonies, one to multiple misdemeanors in connection with the January 6th insurrection and their role as being Donald Trump's lawyer. So three of Trump's lawyers, his co-defendants in the Georgia Rico case, have already pled guilty. And now things are starting to get very real for Donald Trump in the Georgia Rico case as well. I just want to show you this last clip from Alina Haba from the courthouse. We've showed you a lot of these clips of Donald Trump in the courthouse. And this is Alina Haba, I guess, doing her Donald Trump imitation where she kind of like yells at the

press with this like bravado that's unearned. And she tries to lecture the press about real estate. I want to play for you what she says and then let's just dissect it and just show you what a bunch of nonsense word salad this is. Play this clip. Banks hire appraisers. Everybody here knows that. Anybody here that's purchased a home or purchased anything in real estate understands a very basic thing. Let me put this whole case in plain English for you. Okay? You are an individual. You go to get something appraised.

You say, my house is worth X. The bank doesn't take your word for it. They hire people like that gentleman to go do their own values. Now, those values are going to be lower than the ones that the homeowner or the commercial real estate owner would use. It's very basic. Anybody watching, any business television could understand or explain to you these basic principles of real estate. But the point is that's not what this is about. That is not what this case is about. It has nothing to do with this because the statement of financial condition was actually low. The statement of financial condition didn't include

President Trump's brand. The statement of financial condition does not include the big picture. If you take Trump Tower and you take the Trump name off of that building and you put Letitia James' name on that building, it will not be worth what it is worth when Donald Trump owns it. Okay, so let's break down what she just said there. So one, she said banks hire appraisers to do appraisals. Okay, so stipulated. I agree with that. And then she said, you go to the appraiser and everybody in real estate knows this was her main point. You say it's worth X and the appraiser always says it's worth the less. It's not necessarily

the case. What you're supposed to say to the appraiser is what the accurate information is. You're supposed to provide the appraiser with the accurate square footage, accurate comps. And yes, an appraiser does their own diligence, but part of their diligence is relying on documents and data that you provide them. So if you provide them something under penalty of perjury or a document that says that this is a residential property when it's really zoned for a commercial property and you lie'll concede that it could be less, it's not 5,000% less or 5,000% more. there's usually within a realm of understanding what the market value is because the diligence documents that are turned over to the bank are supposed to be accurate. And what this case is about is that undisputed inaccurate data through statement of financial conditions and other financial representations were made to banks, taxing authorities, and insurance companies to try to play all sides and get all of the benefits. For example, if you told the appraiser that the square footage is 30,000 square feet and it's 10,000 square feet, that is false. If you told the

appraiser that Mar-a-Lago is zoned as a residential property when it is subject to a deed and various historical easements that not only make it a commercial property, but a commercial property that really can't be financially exploited in any material way. And then you've also signed documents with a tax assessor from Palm Beach County saying that the property is valued at $26 million and that's not disclosed to the appraiser when you're supposed to provide due diligence. Well, then you get into a little thing called fraud. And that's the problem here. And I'm not going to show it here because I've showed it in other videos. We've showed the testimony of Eric Trump, of Don Jr., of Allen Weisselberg, of Donald Trump, and others. And in their testimony,

these people who, anybody who knows about real estate knows this or that, they all claim they don't know how anything happened. They all say, we don't that. They all claim they don't know how anything happened. They all say, we don't know how this happened. We don't know how this person did it, that person did it. And they all point fingers to each other. And so ultimately, Alina Haba, what I care about is just the evidence, is just the data. And the evidence and the data shows that your client, Donald Trump, is committing fraud. And a judge has already found that, the undisputed evidence. Also, going back to the first video that I played, it's not as if a gag order was imposed because the judges just don't like your client.

Quite the contrary. Your client is being treated better than any criminal defendant or litigant in the history of the United States of America. Anybody else who did what he did, threatening witnesses, attacking the judge, attacking the judge's law clerk, anyone engaged in that behavior would be thrown into jail immediately. And what's frustrating to the rest of us Americans and to people watching internationally is watching that behavior and saying, how is that permitted to go on? So the fact that you all are whining about these gag orders, where in fact, if anybody else did what Donald Trump did, they would be put in jail immediately. That's what should really be discussed. And that's what we discuss here
