Ty Cobb
Ty Cobb, the former Hogan Lovells partner who left Biglaw to work (briefly) in Trump’s White House, continues to opine about his former boss’s legal troubles. As we all know, the fourth indictment against Donald Trump came down this week, this one in Georgia over election fraud. (There’s also the New York case against him over financial crimes related to the Stormy Daniels hush money, the federal indictment over his handling of classified documents, and there’s the federal case over that whole January 6th insurrection thing.)
As is his wont, Trump took to social media to complain about his latest legal headache. This time, he boasted of a “major news conference” on Monday to present a “large, complex, detailed but irrefutable REPORT” on the 2020 election that will offer “a complete EXONERATION…Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others,” Trump wrote.

Of course, we don’t know what may be in the report (Trump says it’ll be released on Monday). But color Ty Cobb unimpressed, as he told CNN.
“This is all Trump PR. This is, you know, generating chaos. I mean, frankly, there’s a good chance that whatever document he produces ends up as evidence against him.”
That’s because the document could become “the basis for an obstruction count against the author because it’s likely to be fiction, and solely for the purpose of contaminating the jury pool.”
