Last week, Alina Habba told Sean Hannity that the gag order against Donald Trump was unconstitutional because she was confused about what SHE was allowed to say (because Trump is forbidden from directing people to attack those who he can't.) But that didn't stop her from going on the offensive against Michael Cohen as he testified this week, meaning that she no longer cares about what she can and cannot say. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During an interview on Fox News this week, Alina Haa appeared to once again violate Donald Trump's gag order for him. Even though in a Fox News appearance at the end of last week, she said very clearly to Sean Hannity that the gag order is unconstitutional because she as Trump's spokesperson, doesn't know what she is allowed to say or not say. So it's confusing her, but she knows there are things she is not supposed to say. That's what she said last week. But this week, once again, on the same network, Fox News, she decided to bring up Michael Cohen, who of course was testifying earlier this week. And here's what she said. The indictment goes to a books and records crime, a book and record crime that was done at Trump Tower by an accountant that booked a legal fee as a legal fee, as President Trump said earlier, he didn't book it as construction. He didn't book it as electrical work. It was a legal fee to Michael Cohen. And that's when Fox News host Sandra Smith asks, so, Alina, how would you go at Michael Cohen here? And Alina responded the way I did, you know, I can't speak about the witness, but you already did. So you're admitting you're not allowed to speak about him, even though you, in just a couple sentences ago, spoke about him. And last week, as I mentioned, you said that the gag order was so confusing to you that you didn't know what you could or could not say because you are being paid by Donald Trump to say things. Therefore, what you say could be a violation of the gag order for him, not for you, obviously. But therein lies the problem we learned this week from Andrew Rice, a reporter with the, uh, New York magazine. I believe it is, that Donald Trump was scribbling notes on a piece of paper during the trial this week. And those notes 'cause Rice was able to see over his shoulder what he was writing in editing. Those were the quotes given to the people who showed up in court on behalf of Donald Trump, his friends and allies in Congress, that they then said to the press. So there's no doubt anymore that Donald Trump is directing people to say these things. So I have little doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is somehow directing Alina Haa, considering the fact that she's on his payroll as a spokesperson, literally her job to speak on behalf of Trump. She gets money to do that. So it's very difficult to argue that he's not paying her to go out there and do this. She even is admitting, by the way, that she's not allowed to talk about him, but by God, she still seems to talk about him a lot. So it is what it is. Let's see what the judge decides to do. But at this point, Alina Haba, as an actual lawyer, needs to understand that you're not gonna be the one getting in trouble here. It's gonna be your client. And that trouble could include a night or possibly even a weekend stay in the county lockup.
