Ty Cobb Calls for Disbarment of Bondi and Halligan Over Comey Case Missteps
Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb has publicly called for the disbarment of Attorney General Pam Bondi and interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan. Cobb's comments come in response to the Justice Department's handling of the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey. According to Cobb, the indictment against Comey was not properly presented to a full grand jury, which he describes as a significant procedural error. Cobb criticized Bondi for submitting affirmations regarding the propriety of Halligan's grand jury presentation, suggesting that Bondi either lied or was incompetent. The Justice Department has acknowledged the oversight, and a judge has requested further filings from prosecutors. Cobb has previously stated that the case against Comey, which includes charges of making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, is fundamentally flawed due to these procedural issues.
