Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb called ex-President Donald Trump a “deeply wounded narcissist” who acted in a “criminal” manner when he pushed then-Vice President Mike Pence to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
In a new interview, Cobb also said Trump’s conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, while a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol, could — at least theoretically — lead to him being barred from seeking the presidency.
“There is a simple way to disqualify President Trump,” Cobb told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett in an interview on “The Takeout” podcast.
“He clearly violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution’s Article III when he gave aid and comfort and three hours of inaction with regard to what was happening on the grounds of the Capitol,” he said.
“That clearly gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists,” said Cobb, who added that a joint declaration by both chambers of Congress could on those grounds block Trump from being able to regain the White House.

Thank God his name wasn’t Jackie Robinson
I read this story a week ago.
I”ve never come across lawyers who can’t shut their mouths about ex-clients. It seems to me that prospective clients should think twice before hiring Mr. Cobb.
In my experience narcisist’s kids do not like them. That does not seem to be the case with Trump
.
Trump: Peacefully march..
Kamala: Beware we won’t stop
Here’s a clue as to why the election challenges went nowhere.
Another Deep Stater outted.
Works for me.
Yep, this chump probably wasn’t good enough make a little league team.
Trump, like most, merely called for an investigation into the voting ‘irregularities’ and an honest tally of all legal votes. nothing about overturning anything...
Ty Cobb. Another bad lawyer for Trump. His batting average is pretty low.
Just another reprobate surfacing.
Translation: “I’ll say what you want, just don’t raid my house or sic the IRS on me.”
Goes ditto for Michael Cohen.
Ty Cobb may have gone over to the dark side. Is there any credible evidence that there was an "insurrection?"
What evidence is there that Trump tried to "overturn" the election? He wanted his VP to use his authority to delay the vote to allow time to resolve irregularities in the selection of electoral representatives. Some states had two sets of electoral representatives. Which set was valid?
The Democrats are working on legislation to prevent such an option for the VP. Why are they doing that?
What is Ty Cobb's motive to outright lie and misrepresent what occurred on January 6th?
What form has Ty's "30 pieces of silver" taken?
The steal was real. Joe Burden was declared president, he was not fairly elected president.
Well Ty, when I went to bed that night, we were winning bigly. Something sure happened.
This was an interesting side story that gets more play than it deserves. The GOP electors convened in some states that Biden “won” and voted for the Trump/Pence ticket. This was a formality that was needed in case any of the legal challenges succeeded in those states, it would have been necessary to have a GOP slate of electors in place that had been certified on the exact day required by law.
None of those GOP slates of electors were ever submitted to Congress for the January 6th joint session.
The Democrats are working on legislation to prevent such an option for the VP. Why are they doing that?
Because it’s ludicrous for anyone to suggest that the VP has the unilateral authority to disrupt the Congressional certification process in a presidential election. The Electoral Count Act of 1887 that is the basis of the procedure in Congress to certify a presidential election is almost certainly unconstitutional because it effectively gives Congress the power to override the states in certifying the presidential electors.
Constitutional? The process is set forth in the constitution. We can argue about what it means, and a feckelss VP like Pence can argue it means nothing and that the VP is just there as a figurehead and maybe that's the case, maybe it isn't. But if the dems don't like the words in the constitution, then they can change them if they can get 2/3 of the house and senate to go along, along with 3/4ths of the states.
It appears to me that someone sat Cobb down and made him an offer he could not refuse.
If he wanted to continue making the big bucks as a high powered Washington lawyer and enjoy the fruits of being on the Favored People tier of the law, he needs to denounce all things Trump.
We saw similar/identical things in the Soviet Union.
