Former Trump Lawyer Ty Cobb: Robert Mueller is an 'American Hero'; Investigation is Not a Hoax

Former Trump Lawyer Ty Cobb: Robert Mueller is an ‘American Hero’; Investigation is Not a Hoax

by Colby Hall | Mar 5th, 2019, 7:17 am

Ty Cobb served as the White House attorney for roughly nine months of the investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and in a recent interview with ABC News Podcast The Investigation revealed his great respect for Mr. Mueller and refuted President Donald Trump’s claims that his investigation is a “witch hunt.”

When asked if he has the same opinion of Mr. Mueller as does the Commander in Chief, Cobb said “I don’t feel the same way about Mueller,” adding “I don’t feel the investigation is a witch hunt.” He also vouched for the character of Muller, calling him “an American hero.”

“I think Bob Mueller’s an American hero,” Cobb said, adding “even though he came from an, arguably, privileged background, he has a backbone of steel. He walked into a firefight in Vietnam to pull out one of his injured colleagues and was appropriately honored for that. I’ve known him for 30 years as a prosecutor and a friend. And I think the world of Bob Mueller. He is a very deliberate guy. But he’s also a class act. And a very justice-oriented person.”

You are supporting a draft-dodging, casino-hustling republican traitor and his criminal cabal.

... when demographic and generational waves come crashing.

They are dangerously compromised and seeking a corrupt, authoritarian mob boss to hold onto power.

Get ready for a new tweet from IQ45 about another "idiot" that he once hired as an attorney. I guess this Ty Cobb is a "dirty ball player" too!
I wonder if he's one of the people that got letters from the Congressional investigators? Hope so - I bet he'd have interesting things to share, depending how much he could say and not betray attorney/client privilege.

What kind of creative and childish nickname will Trump come up with for his former White House attorney? He's used so many, he might have to start recycling old ones.

The traitor is firing people like it's some bullshit reality TV game show.

If this orange shit for brains maniac manages to hold onto office and have his buddy pootin steal another election in 2020 it won't be four more years it will be no more years.
