From July 31, 2017 to May 2, 2018, former Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Ty Cobb was called on by former Republican President Donald Trump to lead the White House's internal response to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

So Cobb is well acquainted with Trump and how he operated in the Oval Office.


But that doesn't mean he's a fan.

On Thursday, NBC News asked Cobb to comment on a Trump 2024 presidential campaign.

Cobb pulled no punches in his response.

Cobb stated:

"One thing the Democrats know for certain is that Trump’s uncontrolled ego is his own worst enemy. They are praying they are able to goad him into an announcement for a 2024 presidential run."
"A 2024 declaration of his candidacy serves no interest but his self-defeating and overwhelming need for relevance, attention and money. Such an announcement also does not inoculate him from criminal investigation."


Assessing what another Trump campaign would mean for Republicans, Cobb said:

"He is a disaster for the Republican Party for which he prevented a Senate majority in 2020 and, as time will demonstrate, has already done the same for 2022 with his endorsements of unelectable candidates all based on their loyalty or his own driving desire for revenge."

Cobb then addressed the lasting impact of Trump’s lies about the 2020 election.

"The Big Lie has been good only for Trump and has brought him millions in donations, which some evidence suggests may have been mishandled. The Big Lie, and the related violence, election interference and other perceived misconduct, was and is an affront to this nation and its first principles."
"It has permanently soiled the history pages and deepened the abyss that divides our country and continues to expand due to the delusions and lack of accountability of politicians in both parties."
"It should be disqualifying for Trump and his political acolytes, and would have been at any other time in our history."

Drawing on pop culture, Cobb added:

"To modify a well known Seinfeld quote—SANITY NOW!"


Cobb—a registered independent voter—concluded:

"The country needs desperately to move on with new and actual leadership from a younger generation. New leadership must return to serving and championing our Constitutional form of government and its three essential pillars and accompanying checks and balances."
"Because of the grand design of that Constitution and the courage of those who preceded us, the United States has led the world, fought tyranny, and promoted peace and freedom in our two and a half centuries."
"Now we must unite and save our own country—right now, while there is time."


Cobb has characterized his time in the Trump administration as a chance to serve the country, not the President.

The former White House lawyer stated repeatedly he didn't agree with Trump’s claims the Mueller investigation was a witch hunt and referred to special counsel Robert Mueller as an "American hero."

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
