Comey’s Case Getting Dropped?
Washington, D.C. – Former White House attorney Ty Cobb delivered a stunning prediction on Sunday, saying there’s a “very good chance” that the explosive federal case against former FBI Director James Comey will never even reach trial.
Cobb, who served in the Trump White House during the early days of the Mueller investigation, warned that the case could implode because of what he called a “wholly unconstitutional, authoritarian” process.
“I don’t see any way in the world that Comey will be convicted,” Cobb said on CBS’s Face the Nation. “There’s a very good chance this case gets tossed out long before it ever reaches a jury because of the way it was handled.”
Comey Faces Two Serious Federal Charges
Comey, who ran the FBI from 2013 until President Trump fired him in May 2017, was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury in Virginia.
The charges are serious:
- Making false statements to Congress
- Obstructing a congressional proceeding
This marks a dramatic escalation in efforts to hold deep-state officials accountable for their actions during Trump’s first term.
Major Shake-Up Behind the Scenes
The indictment came just days after a major upheaval inside the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.
- Former U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert abruptly resigned on September 19 after reportedly facing pressure to launch a probe into New York Attorney General Letitia James over alleged mortgage fraud.
- His replacement, Lindsey Halligan, is a former Trump White House aide and legal advisor who has been a trusted ally of the president since 2022.
- Halligan’s signature is the one appearing on Comey’s indictment — a clear sign that President Trump is taking a direct, hands-on approach to this landmark case.
Comey Cries Foul – But Many Aren’t Buying It
James Comey, a longtime critic of Trump, quickly went on the defensive.
He posted a video to Instagram Thursday, denying any wrongdoing and claiming the charges were politically motivated.
However, many conservatives see this indictment as long-overdue justice for Comey’s role in undermining President Trump’s first term and fueling the infamous Russia investigation, which turned out to be baseless.
Who is Ty Cobb – and Why His Words Matter
Ty Cobb is no ordinary commentator.
As a White House attorney from July 2017 to May 2018, Cobb played a key role in guiding the Trump administration’s legal strategy during the chaotic Mueller investigation.
While Cobb has admitted that he never personally voted for President Trump, he understands the inner workings of Washington’s legal machinery better than almost anyone.
His warning that Comey’s case may collapse sends a clear signal: Even when conservatives push for accountability, the deep state still has powerful allies protecting its own.
The Bigger Picture: Accountability on the Line
For millions of Trump supporters, Comey represents the heart of the swamp — a man who used his position to undermine a duly elected president and weaponize federal agencies for political gain.
If the case gets thrown out, it will raise serious questions about whether Washington insiders can ever truly be held accountable.
It will also be a major rallying cry heading into the 2026 midterm elections, where President Trump and his allies aim to finish the job of draining the swamp.
Bottom Line
Ty Cobb’s comments are a wake-up call for conservatives nationwide.
Even with serious charges on the table, deep-state operatives like James Comey may still escape justice — unless voters demand real accountability at the ballot box.
