Third Circuit Unanimously Upholds Disqualification of Trump Appointee Alina Habba

Readers will see which loyalist prosecutor faces the sixth major challenge this week in Albany, NY.

Short Summary

  • The Third Circuit panel concluded Habba lacked the necessary experience and had engaged in sanctionable conduct, officially nullifying her tenure.
  • This ruling marks the fifth consecutive time courts have rejected the qualifications of the Trump administration's crisis US Attorney/Acting US Attorney appointments.
  • Legal stagnation occurred in the District of New Jersey for months as judges paused proceedings pending clarity on Habba’s unlawful status.

Description

The Third Circuit's unanimous ruling affirming Alina Habba's disqualification marks the fifth straight defeat for Donald Trump's Justice Department on this issue. A sixth defeat could be looming later this week inside a federal court in Albany, N.Y., where state AG Letitia James will argue that John Sarcone — another Trump-loyalist, first-time prosecutor — was unlawfully appointed.

I hope the judge makes a ruling from the bench. I'm sure the pleadings are a mess and they destroy Sarcone's credibility. Looking forward to your report.

It is outrageous that Trump could even think that he could parachute his incompetents into the US Department of Justice to follow his personal agenda……. He must be impeached and removed from office.
