Ty Cobb, former White House lawyer to Donald Trump, delivered a stark warning about his former employer on Tuesday night time.
“I think you have to take Trump seriously because he poses the gravest threat to American democracy that we’ve ever seen,” Cobb mentioned on CNN.
He referred to as the notion of such blanket immunity “very scary” as it will imply American presidents have nearly no accountability aside from impeachment.
“I think the lack of accountability which he desires, which Putin has, which the Ayatollah has, which Xi has… he may want an America like that,” Cobb mentioned, referring to the leaders of Russia, Iran and China.
However, he mentioned the nation’s founders needed America’s leaders to be accountable, and predicted Trump would lose the case, with a choice coming “fast and forcefully.”
