Speaking to MS NOW anchor Erin Burnett, Cobb cited acting attorney general, Todd Blanche\u2019s failed attempt to sell Senate Republicans on Trump’s $1.8 billion \u201cweaponization\u201d fund on Thursday. Blanche and many other critics describe the fund more as a \u201cslush fund\u201d for Trump and his minions charged with trying to overthrow the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

Cobb called Blanche\u2019s embrace of a clearly illegal fund \u201cthe culmination of [his] transformation from a once decent lawyer into the complete toady that he’s become.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s given up any character and integrity that he ever had,\u201d Cobb told Burnett. \u201cLawyers who used to work with him and actually were optimistic that he would perform his duties consistent with the oath, no longer feel that way. It’s never been apparent to me that he was worthy of that confidence, but he’s shown that he will do anything that the president wants, including giving away $2 billion that belonged to the taxpayers in an effort to buy the attorney general permanent position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cobb went on to say that Blanche wasn\u2019t like his predecessor Pam Bondi in that he was not a dyed-in-the-wool MAGA cultist.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn’t have her excuse. I mean, he’s not an ideologue,\u201d said Cobb. \u201cHe was not wedded to Trump. You know, for years and years \u2026 he didn’t have the MAGA credentials of Pam Bondi. This is pure and unadulterated ambition. And somebody who, you know, for dollars and power has sold his soul.<\/p>\n
