Former Trump White House Lawyer Says DOJ Prosecutors ‘Have Their Foot on His Neck’

EXCERPT:

COBB: “On the other hand, it does show that he’s been deceptive in his own statements. The second is, it could put additional pressure on Jack Smith to tie the obstruction case to the actual possession and use or dissemination of the classified documents. Now, whether he will or not is, of course, for him to decide. It’s a strategic decision. You know, my own view is he doesn’t need to, you know, extend or compromise the obstruction case by taking on the burden of the classified documents case because he gets the full benefit of the classified documents evidence anyway in through statements like this. So, I think that this makes the obstruction case more compelling. It could add the two cases, the obstruction and the possession and use of the classified information, together, but that would delay things and I think — I don’t see any eagerness on the part of Jack Smith and his team to slow down. I think they have — I think they have their foot on his neck. I noticed that Trump, as he did three days before he was indicted by Alvin Bragg, was raising money today on the alleged coming indictment by Jack Smith. So, I think Trump and his own team believe this is going to come quickly."
