Ex-Trump attorney calls Robert Mueller 'an American hero,' says probe not a 'witch hunt'
WASHINGTON – Former White House attorney Ty Cobb defended special counsel Robert Mueller on Tuesday, calling him an "American hero" and disputing President Donald Trump's characterization of Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt."
"I've known him for 30 years as a prosecutor and a friend and I think the world of Bob Mueller," Cobb told ABC News in a podcast interview. "He is a very deliberate guy, but he's also a class act and a very justice-oriented person."
Cobb – who left the White House legal team at the end of May 2018 – said he did not agree with the highly critical statements Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani have made about Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
He conceded that Trump and Giuliani have been effective in ratcheting up "the public's concerns about the investigation and its legitimacy" but he said, "It's not my view that it's a witch hunt."
"I object to that approach, but it's his choice," Cobb said of president's criticisms of Mueller's work.

But Ty, the approach is the DOPer great Douche way.
