Bobb&#8217;s job duties didn&#8217;t change much when she joined the Trump legal staff. She made television appearances on OAN where she devotedly defended everything Trump did, no matter how obviously illegal and\/or immoral. And she does precisely the same thing now as his lawyer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54146\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Spews Knee-Jerk Defense of Wannabe Dictator Trump After FBI Search of Mar-a-Lago<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amid the controversies surrounding the FBI search of Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago bunker, Bobb has been making the rounds on TV to pitch her Trump propaganda. And for the most part she has succeeded only in making Trump look even more guilty than prior to her commentaries. For example, she visited with Sean Duffy &#8211; a former congressman and reality TV star &#8211; who was filling in for Laura Ingraham on Fox News. They united to muddy the waters with regard to whether the documents that Trump took from the White House were classified&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Duffy:<\/strong> You were there at Mar-a-Lago when the FBI raided the place. Do you know what was in the boxes that they took?<br \/>\n<strong>Bobb:<\/strong> It was documents, that&#8217;s all I know &#8230; So, no, at this point we don\u2019t necessarily know what was in the boxes. But I also think it&#8217;s important to point out, as you did earlier, that president Trump had declassified everything.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bobb: No at this point we don\u2019t necessarily know what was in the boxes\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YvJCY6B0OI\">pic.twitter.com\/YvJCY6B0OI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1558274807128539136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 13, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Bobb doesn&#8217;t know what was in the boxes. That&#8217;s an interesting story considering that she told a completely different one the day before to Ingraham, when she asserted that Trump&#8217;s legal team had <em>&#8220;done a very thorough search&#8221;<\/em> of the documents he had at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ingraham:<\/strong> Is it your understanding that there were not documents related to our nuclear capabilities or nuclear issues that had national security implications in the President\u2019s possession when the agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago?<br \/>\n<strong>Bobb:<\/strong> That&#8217;s right. I don\u2019t believe they were&#8230;I have not specifically spoken to the <em>[former]<\/em> President about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there. I do not believe there were any in there. The legal team has done a very thorough search and has turned over &#8211; we&#8217;ve been very cooperative with the Biden administration and the DOJ &#8211; and turned over everything we&#8217;ve found that we had.
