Ty Cobb heavily condemned the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on CBS. He said Trump wanted Comey out of the way because he investigated the US President’s alleged link with Russia before the 2016 Presidential election. In his opinion, Trump carefully planned James Comey’s indictment to change the narrative.

“The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection, refused to peacefully transfer power after losing an election,” Cobb told Margaret Brennan on CBS.

“America needs to learn from the mistakes that we’ve had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was re-electing President Trump,” Cobb added.

Former FBI director James Comey was indicted on September 26 this year.

What is the charge against former FBI Director James Comey?

James Comey was accused of lying to a Senate committee in 2020 regarding the authorisation of a leak of classified information to the media. Comey has publicly claimed that he is innocent. “Let’s have a trial. My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump,” he said in a Substack video.

James Comey served as the Director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017. Donald Trump fired him during his first term as the 45th US President during a probe into allegations of ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign.
