Former Trump legal team member Ty Cobb has a pessimistic view of James Comey’s prosecution.
Cobb blasted President Donald Trump, his former boss, for going after the former FBI director, saying that there is a very good chance the charges are “tossed out well before trial.”

Cobb joined CBS’s Face the Nation to ridicule the case against Comey, saying he doesn’t think there’s “enough substance” for it to hold up in court.
“I don’t, really. You know, as you can- Senator Kaine discussed briefly, moments ago, that the grand jury rejected one of the counts, the top count, actually, in the indictment, approved two, but by a very slim margin — 14 out of 23 in a process where there’s no defense attorney in the room and the standard is merely probable cause. The next courtroom that this will be assessed in, if it gets to trial, requires unanimity from 12 people, and there will be a vigorous defense. I don’t see any way in the world that, you know, Comey will be convicted. And I think there’s a good chance, because of, you know, the wholly unconstitutional, authoritarian way that this was done, that the case may get tossed out well before trial,” he said.
X users weighed in on Cobb’s analysis:
Could you imagine Ty Cobb teaching constitutional law. He provides no support for his claim Comey’s indictment was unconstitutional.

“Could you imagine Ty Cobb teaching constitutional law. He provides no support for his claim Comey’s indictment was unconstitutional,” wrote one user. “Indictments are issued by Grand Juries as was Comey’s indictment. In constitutional law, an indictment is a formal accusation of a serious crime, issued by a grand jury, that requires the government to present substantial evidence to proceed to trial. The grand jury in this district leans left politically so the evidence must be substantial. Ty Cobb is very weak on his constitutional law.”
Someone come get their granddad.

Well, I agree that he’ll never be convicted.
I think it’s obvious that no Democrat would ever be swayed by any evidence or facts to convict someone who hates Trump.— ChrisRehm (@javadisciple) September 29, 2025
