LINO?

 When you’re only doing what the client wants:

Chris Kise told Judge Arthur Engoron Friday morning he was disturbed by a Breitbart report alleging bias against the clerk, who was the subject of a heated debate between the pair the night before, ABC News reports. 

"I think the defense will have to give serious consideration to seeking a mistrial," Kise said. 

"It's not information, it's an allegation," Engoron said of the report, about a “random individual” with “accusations of partisan political activity.” 

An attorney from Attorney General Letitia James’s office accused Kise of being frivolous, especially since he appears not to have been able immediately to name the website that published the report. 

"I'm not the internet person,” Kise said. "I want to say it is on Breitbart, maybe? It's on a news outlet.” 

According to ABC News, this description of Breitbart spurred onlookers to laugh.

You are the lawyer in name only.

 I mean, seriously:

I’ll wait again to get the note that you have from Ms. [name of clerk]," Kise said after listing a series of objections. "You may have a question for me. Maybe it is about dinner.” 

The comment, which most in the courtroom did not hear, set off a "heated back and forth," according to one observer, and Trump co-counsel Alina Habba assured the judge their objections were not rooted in misogyny but were concerned with the appearance of partisan bias due to what the former president alleges are the clerk's political ties to Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

I’ve never seen such ridiculous behavior from lawyers in a courtroom.

Footnote: 

The bio of the Twitter user who's the sole source of the Breitbart article brought up by Trump's attorney in open court is:

"Applying the 69th Amendment to the Internet!" 

The user's feed is filled with the same smear of the clerk that sparked the original gag order.

Please take that up on appeal, I’m begging you! 🙏
