Another “former” Trump defender, has smelled the DOJ espresso, and has decided to throw the MAGA Moron under the proverbial legal-bus:
from cnbc.com — Sept 9, 2022
Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb called ex-President Donald Trump a “deeply wounded narcissist” who acted in a “criminal” manner when he pushed then-Vice President Mike Pence to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
[…]
“There is a simple way to disqualify President Trump,” Cobb told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett in an interview on “The Takeout” podcast.
“He clearly violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution’s Article III when he gave aid and comfort and three hours of inaction with regard to what was happening on the grounds of the Capitol,” he said.
“That clearly gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists,” said Cobb [...]

And if that Constitutional way isn’t simple enough to ensure another January 6th Insurrection doesn’t happen in 2024 — well there’s always this other relatively easy way:
Convince the MAGA Marks that they gave their hard-earned bucks to a Trump “Legal Defense Fund” that DID NOT EXIST. To the tune of a quarter billion dollars in fake donations:
Supporters who thought they were donating to "election integrity" instead saw some of their money funneled to Trump hotels — rollingstone.com
The Trump campaign sent “millions” of emails to Trump supporters about how they needed to “step up” to protect election integrity, according to the Jan. 6 committee. The money would go to the so-called the “Official Election Defense Fund” — which doesn’t appear to have actually existed, according to testimony.
The fund — which, again, did not actually exist — raised $250 million, most of which did not go to election litigation, but to Trump’s newly created Save America PAC. The PAC then made contributions to Mark Meadows’ charity, to a conservative organization employing former Trump staffers, to the Trump Hotel Collection, and to the company that organized the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol last Jan. 6.

That’s some “legal defense” — send me money, so I can spend it on my bills and on political payoffs.
Of course, there’s really is No legal defense for the Big Lie — afterall they tried. BEFORE the coup attempt ... and they LOST over 60 times in courtrooms across the nation.
When you don’t have the facts on your side, even raking in a quarter billion dollars, is not going to make those Kraken-lies, suddenly true. Take it from Sydney Powell herself:
“No reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact,” Powell's attorneys said in a court filing [...]

Release the Kraken — that fake “Legal Defense Fund” needs to be fed.
Afterall Trump owes people. So pay up chumps.

And No reasonable person does. To the tune of $250,000,000, and counting.
No wonder Trump keeps singing the same sad song. Cha-Ching!
