Could anyone be surprised? No longer has "Daddy Trump" to cover for her incompetence
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/alina-habba-already-earns-a-conduct-warning/ar-AA1EImzO?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LSJS&cvid=c0ca86c1ccd941b7995256161f461266&ei=14
A Federal magistrate has already warned Trump lawyer Alina Habba about unprofessional conduct.
Shockingly, Trump's lawyer, Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, has already been warned she needs to act like a Federal lawyer if she wants to play one. Habba has been speaking out of turn about an ongoing investigation.
Last week, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) was arrested at an ICE detention facility in the city after he and three Democratic members of Congress visited the complex. Baraka said he and the lawmakers were allowed in the facility and were there for an hour, and no one told him to leave. Ultimately, he was arrested by federal agents. Shortly afterward, Habba, the top prosecutor for the District of New Jersey, posted about the arrest on social media and phoned into Fox News.
"More than once, [he] refused to leave, was put under arrest inside the facility, walked out when he was told he was under arrest, and then was cuffed," she said, and accused Baraka and the lawmakers of "grandstanding." Habba has issued other public comments about the case.
According to Politico, U.S. Magistrate André M. Espinosa advised Habba's office in a Friday video conference against giving public remarks about the case. After Baraka's attorney asked Espinosa to warn Habba's office, the magistrate addressed the government's lawyers and said he would "caution them to heed carefully to the rules of professional conduct" and "boundaries of propriety for public comment related to an ongoing investigation and/or prosecution."

Which would be humiliating for anyone even remotely "normal." Of course...

But I thought she was in prison. Obviously not.
