Famed parking garage lawyer Alina Habba spent her tenure as the quasi-U.S. Attorney for New Jersey stoking Epstein file rumors (Opens in a new window)and pushing political prosecutions against Democrats inspecting ICE facilities (Opens in a new window). Now, mercifully, that tenure should be coming to a close.

Habba sprung from her cage on Highway 9 to assume the role through an appointment by Pam Bondi. Appointments made by the Attorney General to serve as a U.S. Attorney are limited to 120 days, which for Habba will expire next week. Trump nominated his bumbling fixer to a full term in the post, but that nomination stalled in the Senate with New Jersey’s senators opposing the pick and Senate Republicans not caring enough about Habba that they’ve chosen to pretend they care about this norm.

That means Habba will be out of a job next week unless the state’s federal judges decide to appoint her, and they reportedly have zilch interest in having a cable news talking head run the office, preferring instead to pick First Assistant U.S. Attorney Desiree Grace and former U.S. District Court Judge Noel Lawrence Hillman (Opens in a new window). If it goes to the judges, that person would serve for up to 210 days.

Signs suggest Habba might have embraced her fate in a staff meeting yesterday, with the New Jersey Globe reporting that someone with direct knowledge of the meeting claimed “Habba had said she expected to depart next week.” That said, another tipster told the Globe that this “interpretation was mischaracterized,” and Habba really said that she didn’t know what would happen but hoped to stay.
