Ty Cobb, a former White House lawyer for President Donald Trump, said that he believes that the former president will get convicted in the federal criminal investigation into his handling of classified materials and that he will ultimately go to prison over it.

Cobb made the remarks during a CNN interview while discussing the case, which he believes is nearing its conclusion with forthcoming indictments set to be made.

“I think that this case is ready to go,” he said. “I think there is a possibility that the obstruction case may be broadened to go ahead and include the Espionage Act and counts and the possession, illegal possession of the classified documents, given the extent that, and solely because of the fact that Trump keeps lying about what the law is.”

Cobb noted that a recent report indicated that some “16 different government officials reminded him of the process” that he needed to take to declassify information and that the former president “totally ignored that and believed that the mere fact he took them declassifies them. It’s not the law.”

On the subject of whether prosecutors could try to indict Trump on the espionage act in addition to obstruction of justice charges, Cobb said that based on his own career as a federal prosecutor he “would not necessarily expand the case to try to prove the Espionage Act piece of it because there’s so much evidence of guilty knowledge on the espionage piece that all they really have to do is show that Trump moved these documents at various times when DOJ was either demanding them or actually present, that he filed falsely with the Justice Department, had his lawyers file falsely with the Justice Department and affidavit to the effect that not existed, which was shattered by the documents that they then discovered after the search.”

Cobb said that he believes that the obstruction part of the case was air-tight, adding: “I do think he’ll go to jail on it.”

Cobb said that he doesn’t think the criminal charges filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will have much of an impact on Trump’s political fortunes but he believes federal law enforcement going after Trump will be a different deal altogether.

“Independents, they may not have thought much of the events in New York with Alvin Bragg. I think some have focused in a little bit more on the Carroll case,” he said. “But everybody will be watching if the feds come after him, and the feds are coming, and I think they’re coming fast.”

WATCH:

Target is facing backlash over a designer featured in the company’s “Pride” collection who appears to have created products with Satanic imagery.

Scarlett Johnson, an activist from Wisconsin, went viral on Twitter this weekend with a thread explaining why she is “done” with the retailer. In particular, Johnson took issue with Target listing three items on its online store from Abprallen, a London-based designer of products that sometimes mix imagery and messages about gender with the macabre.

None of the three colorful apparel items for sale under the Abprallen label on Target’s website have Satanic imagery. The catalogue includes a “We Belong Everywhere” mini messenger bag for $18, another is a “Too Queer for Here” tote bag for $18, and a third is a “Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People” sweatshirt for $25. All are listed under “Pride Adult Clothing.”

But Johnson highlighted other products for sale that are shown on the Abprallen website and associated Instagram account with about 25,000 followers. Among them is a skeleton draped in rainbow colors, a “Trans Witches For Abortion” badge, and a “Satan respects pronouns” T-shirt.

Why did @target hire a Satanist to design pieces for their recent "Pride" clothing line?

Johnson’s thread has been retweeted thousands of times since it began on Saturday, with many users criticizing Target and some even calling for a boycott. Others complimented the products and questioned why Johnson had a problem with the designer’s work.

The Daily Wire reached out to the retailer seeking comment on the situation.

The product page for the “Satan respects pronouns” shirt talks about how LGBT+ people are “so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God’s will” while making the case that the Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple are more accepting of the gay community.

“Satanists don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. He means to you what you need him to mean. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love,” the page says. “So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBT+ people.”

Abprallen, according to its “My Story” page, is run by gay trans man named Erik who has a penchant for juxtaposing pastel colors with “spooky things.” The designer’s Instagram account posted in recent weeks about how Abprallen products are being sold by Target after “they approached me to design a range for Pride.”

Even before Johnson’s thread went viral, Target was facing controversy over “tuck-friendly” swimwear for children, as reported by The New York Post, leading some to suggest the retailer would face a wave of backlash akin to the Bud Light controversy over its partnership with self-identified transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
