Former White House attorney Ty Cobb says ex-president is in ‘serious legal water’ over FBI’s ongoing investigation: says there’s a ‘high probability’ of being charged and banned from participating
Cobb told CBS News that his old boss is likely to be charged with “very high”
Trump is more likely to be indicted for his connection to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot than anything the DOJ is currently investigating, Cobb clarified.
The Justice Department is currently reviewing classified documents collected by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago, the former president’s Florida estate.
Cobb said: ‘I think the president is in serious legal water, not so much because of the search, but because of the obstructive activity he undertook’ on Jan.
He specifically cited the “attempts by the president to interfere in the election count in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and perhaps Michigan”
Cobb does not believe the investigation into Mar-a-Lago documents poses a threat to Trump
The former lawyer was willing to criticize his former boss, saying Trump is “a deeply wounded narcissist” and “doesn’t believe he lost” to Joe Biden

Cobb said, “I think the president is in serious legal water, not so much because of the search, but because of the obstructive activity he took in connection with the January 6 proceedings.”
He specifically quoted the president’s “attempts to meddle in the election count in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and perhaps Michigan.” That was the first time in American history that a president tried unconstitutionally to remain in power illegally.”

Speaking to CBS News, Cobb said that while the odds of him being charged are “very high,” Trump is more likely to be indicted for his connection to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots than anything the DOJ is currently investigating.
However, Cobb does not believe the investigation into Mar-a-Lago documents poses a threat to Trump.
The former attorney was willing to criticize his former boss, saying Trump is “a deeply wounded narcissist” and “doesn’t believe he lost to Joe Biden in 2020.”
Cobb added: “He is often unable to act other than in his perceived self-interest or revenge. I think those are the two compelling instincts that guide his actions.”
He didn’t hide what he felt Trump was doing, saying the former president violated the 14th Amendment to the Constitution by providing “assistance and comfort and doing nothing for three hours regarding what happened” in the Capitol.
Cobb says a joint statement by both houses of Congress on those grounds could block Trump from a run in 2024.

He also felt that what Trump did to prevent Vice President Mike Pence from certifying the election results was “criminal.”
“Meddling with Pence and saying Mike deserves this when people yell ‘Kill Pence’ is outrageous,” Cobb added.
