Ex-Trump lawyer foresees trouble for ex-president.
Ty Cobb Predicts Trump Will Go to Jail Over Handling of Classified Materials
Former White House lawyer for President Donald Trump, Ty Cobb, recently spoke to CNN about the federal criminal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified materials. Cobb believes that the investigation is nearing its conclusion and that Trump will ultimately be convicted and sent to prison.
Obstruction Case May Be Broadened
Cobb stated that he thinks there is a possibility that the obstruction case may be broadened to include the Espionage Act and counts of illegal possession of classified documents. He cited Trump’s repeated lies about the law and his disregard for the process of declassifying information as evidence.
- 16 different government officials reminded Trump of the process
- Trump ignored the process and believed that taking the documents declassified them
- This is not the law
Guilty Knowledge on Espionage Piece
Cobb, who has experience as a federal prosecutor, believes that there is already so much evidence of guilty knowledge on the espionage piece that prosecutors may not need to expand the case to prove it. He stated that all they really need to do is show that Trump moved the documents when the DOJ was demanding them or present, filed falsely with the Justice Department, and had his lawyers file falsely with the Justice Department.
Obstruction Part of the Case is Air-Tight
Cobb believes that the obstruction part of the case is air-tight and that Trump will go to jail over it.
Federal Law Enforcement Going After Trump
Cobb doesn’t think that the criminal charges filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will have much of an impact on Trump’s political fortunes. However, he believes that federal law enforcement going after Trump will be a different deal altogether.
- Independents may not have thought much of the events in New York with Alvin Bragg
- Everybody will be watching if the feds come after him
- The feds are coming, and they’re coming fast
