Ty Cobb, an attorney who served the White House under President Donald Trump’s first administration, says Democrats have their articles of impeachment writing themselves after the 2026 elections.
“With the president, you've got really extraordinary information out there: the $500 million bribe from the UAE in exchange for our ai chips, the $480 million plane from Qatar in exchange for an air force base and him parking his Venezuela oil revenue account in Qatar,” Cobb told MS NOW anchor Ari Melber.
“You know, the facts here are just extraordinary and unprecedented. This is not a matter of degree. This is a ripple in the force,” he added.
But Melber asked if Trump himself might not be the sole target of an impeachment effort. In fact, it’s easier to remove unpopular lieutenants who are embarrassing themselves with their own party. This could include rank incompetence, such as U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth exposing war plans to the public or DOP officials carrying out political prosecutions against people Trump does not like.
“You're suggesting that they could also try to impeach, say, [US AG Pam] Bondi or [US Deputy AG Todd] Blanche over politicized justice?” Melber asked.
“Certainly with regard to Bondi, who is obviously unfit for office based on her performance [before the House Judiciary Committee], [Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi Noem, who's supervising the execution of American citizens and lying about them being alleged terrorists,” said Cobb. “And then Hegseth and the multitude of classified violations that he has [exposed] as well as the war crimes being committed at his behest. All of those people should be impeached, for sure. And I expect that we will see articles introduced if the Democrats are lucky enough to take over the House.”
But Cobb added that it would have to be Democrats pushing the effort due to the flaccid nature of the Republican Party and its lockstep devotion to Trump.
“Impeachment, however, is a weak tool in the hands of a Congress where you have people like [Speaker] Mike Johnson and others willing to do whatever the president desires, and certainly not willing to honor their oaths of office to work for the American people as opposed to Donald Trump.”
