Ty Cobb Accuses Convicted Felon Trump of Abusing Justice System in Comey Case

Former senior White House lawyer Ty Cobb launched a scathing critique on Sunday, alleging that the indictment of ex-FBI director James Comey is a calculated move by President Donald Trump to “rewrite history” and conceal his status as a “criminal.” Cobb warned of escalating retribution against Trump’s political adversaries.

Cobb, who previously defended Trump’s first administration during the Mueller investigation, characterized the President’s actions as “wholly unconstitutional [and] authoritarian.” He asserted that Trump, now a convicted felon, aims to obscure his role in inciting a violent insurrection, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and mishandling classified documents.

The former White House counsel expressed strong doubts about Comey’s potential conviction, describing the indictment for allegedly lying to Congress as “fatally flawed.” Cobb also criticized Trump’s controversial appointment of Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide with no prosecutorial experience, to pursue the case after a federal prosecutor, Erik Siebert, was reportedly fired for declining to bring charges. He highlighted Halligan’s past role in attempts to “whitewash” historical narratives at the Smithsonian.

Cobb further condemned Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, for allegedly abandoning the Department of Justice’s principle of impartiality, stating she is “merely doing the president’s bidding when he says, ‘Prosecute my enemies, now’.” He noted that the grand jury rejected a top count in Comey’s indictment and approved two others by a narrow margin, predicting the case would likely collapse or be dismissed before trial.

In related developments, Trump’s appointed FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly contradicted the President’s recent social media claim that 275 FBI agents were embedded among the pro-Trump crowd during the 2021 US Capitol attack. Patel’s statement, issued Saturday night, clarified that agents were deployed *after* the mob attacked the Capitol. Separately, President Trump recently posted and then deleted an AI-generated video promoting “magic medical beds,” a far-right conspiracy theory.
