Former White House attorney Ty Cobb, who served in Donald Trump’s first administration, on Sunday issued a chilling warning to fellow Americans.
“I think we should be scared to death,” Cobb told MSNBC’s Alex Witt, during a discussion on the indictment of former FBI director James Comey.
Cobb noted how the Justice Department “in the ordinary course of traditional processes” had concluded there was “insufficient evidence” to prosecute Comey and that he was only now being targeted because he was “an enemy of the president.”
“This is really authoritarianism,” and “should scare everybody,” Cobb cautioned.
Cobb also suggested that Trump’s deployment of troops to cities was possibly “practice exercises” of something more sinister to come and that the president’s focus on targeting his perceived domestic enemies is “just narcissistic vengeance at its core.”
