Former Trump White House Lawyer Says Pam Bondi Is More ‘Reprehensible’ Than Nixon’s Corrupt Attorney General

Ty Cobb, a lawyer who worked in the White House during President Donald Trump’s first term, said Attorney General Pam Bondi is now the most “reprehensible” person ever to hold that post.

Bondi testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, and she repeatedly sparred with Democratic members. In one exchange, she told Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) he is a “failed lawyer.” In another, she lashed out at Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) for asking questions about Trump and deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Elsewhere, she dodged questions about her claim in February that she had Epstein’s client list, only to say later there was no such list.

Cobb appeared on Tuesday’s edition of OutFront on CNN, where host Erin Burnett asked about the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on charges of perjury and obstruction. He slammed the case as meritless, as well as reports that the Department of Justice mulled a flashy arrest of Comey, complete with “large, beefy” agents. The former director is set to be arraigned on Wednesday.

“So, the reporting is now that things should go civilly and with the ordinary propriety that these events are afforded,” Cobb said. “But I don’t put anything past them. You know, I think we saw today from the attorney general how low the representatives of the Department of Justice are willing to go.”

“What did you make of Pam Bondi today?” Burnett asked. “The point of her presentation clearly was to show disgust and disregard, right? That is what she wanted to convey. That is what she conveyed. Have you seen something like that before?”

Cobb replied with a reference to former Attorney General John Mitchell, who doubled as Richard Nixon’s fixer.

“Never,” he replied. “I think today she achieved one thing. She knocked John Mitchell off the perch of reprehensible attorney generals as number one, despite his guilty plea and time in jail.”

Mitchell infamously had his wife held against her will to prevent her from talking to reporters about the Watergate scandal, over which the attorney general was later found guilty of conspiracy, perjury, and obstruction.
