Ty Cobb Demands Impeachment of Senior Trump Officials in Explosive MS NOW Interview
Former White House attorney Ty Cobb made a bold appearance on MS NOW's "The Beat with Ari Melber" this Friday, where the conversation swiftly shifted from the federal indictment of journalist Don Lemon to a scathing critique of top Trump administration officials. Cobb, who has become a vocal critic after serving in Trump's first term, did not mince words as he called for immediate impeachment proceedings against several key figures.
Don Lemon's Indictment Sparks Broader Debate on Justice
The discussion initially centered on the arrest of Don Lemon, who faces federal civil rights charges related to his coverage of a protest in Minnesota against Trump's immigration policies. Melber argued that this case is part of a broader campaign by Trump to silence critics. When pressed on how many such cases should trigger action against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Cobb asserted that even one fraudulent indictment based on political motives should be grounds for impeachment.
"Well, it should only be one," Cobb told Melber. "If there's one fraudulent, unsupported indictment that's brought for personal reasons, political reasons in which the facts are distorted and the law is abused, that alone should be impeachable." He emphasized the "wealth of evidence" already available to justify Bondi's removal, raising suspicions about her denial of favorable treatment for Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for testimony defending Trump.
Cobb Targets Homeland Security and Defense Chiefs
Expanding his list, Cobb took aim at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He accused Noem of supervising the execution of American citizens and falsely labeling them as terrorists, referencing recent federal agent killings in Minnesota. Regarding Hegseth, Cobb cited multiple classified violations and alleged war crimes under his command, particularly in military strikes against drug smugglers.
"All of those people should be impeached," Cobb concluded, underscoring his belief that these actions represent severe abuses of power. He also revisited broader corruption concerns, mentioning extraordinary allegations such as a $500 million bribe from the UAE for AI chips and a $480 million plane deal with Qatar.
Impeachment as a Weak Tool in a Divided Congress
Despite his strong stance, Cobb expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of impeachment, calling it a "weak tool" in a Congress dominated by figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson, who he claims are overly compliant with presidential desires. "This is not a matter of degree. This is a ripple in the force," he remarked, highlighting the unprecedented nature of the alleged misconduct.
The full interview is available on MS NOW's YouTube channel, offering deeper insights into Cobb's arguments and the ongoing political tensions surrounding the Trump administration.
