Coming from a former Trump lawyer who RETIRED.
“It is about the bigger picture, the Jan. 6 issues, the fake electors, the whole scam with regard to the ‘big lie’ and the attempts to … cling to the presidency in a desperate fashion,” Cobb told CBS News.
Cobb, a conservative lawyer with a distinctive handlebar mustache, was Trump’s top defender in the Russia collusion probe by special counsel Robert Mueller.
But like former Attorney General Bill Barr, Cobb split from Trump over his refusal to accept his election defeat and peacefully hand over power to President Joe Biden.
Cobb says Trump’s refusal to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6 attack should bar him from running to be president.
“He clearly violated the (Constitution) when he gave aid and comfort and three hours of inaction with regard to what was happening on the grounds of the Capitol,” Cobb said on the program. “That clearly gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists.”
Most constitutional experts say the only way to do that would have been for Trump to have been convicted in an impeachment trial.
Along with condemning Trump for his actions, Cobb offered a shocking assessment of his former boss’ mental state.
“I believe former President Trump to be a deeply wounded narcissist,” Cobb said. “He is often incapable of acting other than in his perceived self-interest or for revenge.”
