That’s Not How This Works. That’s Not How Any Of This Works.
Okay, so somebody has a bee up his butt.
In a defiant CNN interview, former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg said Monday he refuses to comply with a grand jury subpoena in the Russia investigation.
No, you don’t get to do that. It’s like refusing to pay your income tax. You can’t win that fight.
However, spoken like a man with a lot of money and a a friendship with Donald Trump that “goes back decades,” Nurnberg said …
“Let him arrest me,” Nunberg said in an interview with The Post. “Mr. Mueller should understand I am not going in on Friday.”
The Trump campaign fired Nunberg in August 2015 after a series of racist Facebook posts came to light, and Nunberg indicated in interviews Monday there was still bad blood between the President and him but that he did not want to spend time cooperating with the investigation and Trump is right to call the probe a “witch hunt.”
Uh, Mueller doesn’t just arrest you, and then you post bond and go home. That’s not how this works, Mr. Racist Rich Guy. You go to jail. Just ask Susan McDougal.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
And for your reading entertainment, I should direct you to this. I think is guy is sniffing something.
You go Sam, stand your ground! Ah who’s Bogarting the popcorn?
1Too early in the day to declare old Sam the ‘winner’ of the “hold my beer” st00pid moment. But he has a good shot at it, if Carter Page and Dimwit, Jr. stay silent for this news cycle.
2Sam Nunberg sounds a bit like Ethan Couch, the “affluenza” teen over in Fort Worth. Enough money that they think they merely have to pay some cash to someone they have injured and their legal problems go away.
3Sounds like he’s going with the Johnnie Cochran guide to legal rhyming:
“If you told a lie, you can’t comply.”
4But… good luck with that.
Turns out Nunberg is trying to avoid testifying against his friend, Roger Stone, who has been publicly implicated in the Wikileaks portion of the Russian investigation. This guy is a few knives short of a set. On the Ari Melber Show tonight, two experienced prosecutors tried to convince him that he could end up in jail for as long as a year. He replied, defiantly, “I’m not going to jail.”
5Micr, the Dotard45 maladministration is snagged with affluenza brats from before, during and after the campaign. Tomorrow starts the Fish v. Kobach trial on voter fraud. Meanwhile, as the dumpster fires wallow in the news cycle and speaking of brats, Pharma Bro was just fined a $7.6 million piece of change. Must be Karma Monday. In unrelated boring news, Mikey Dense is on the campaign trail. Maybe he’ll stage a pratfall to capture his share of attention.
6I’m watching him on Melber’s MSNBC show now. He’s been all over teevee today doing a great impression of one in the grip of a huge manic episode.
So, Conservatives, would you let this guy buy an AR-15?
7The ‘best’ people.
8If you are running an asylum.
Trump has got to go.
@Jane & PKM
I hope yall are korrect bout this being Karma Monday. She has a long list and seems to me to be well behind.
9No wonder Trump needed help from Russia to get elected, everyone involved with his campaign is a crook, an idiot or both.
10C’mon, Sam, don’t be a jerk. Trump told everybody that there was no collusion, none, that it’s a witch hunt. Just go to the grand jury and tell them that. You trust Trump, don’t you?
Disclaimer: I am not an attorney, and I don’t have your best interest in mind.
11Nunberg was on Ari Melber’s show on MSNBC and he was a real center ring attraction to watch and hear. It seems he has already complied to the letter with Mueller. then he got an order for all the emails between himself, Bannon, Lewandowski etc. for 3 years. He feels himself not just over horsed but trampled and he is also concerned that Mueller is on a fishing expedition for Roy Stone, Nunberg’s mentor, someone he will protect to the death. Nunberg loathes Trump et al. OK, that’s obvious. But what I wondered while watching this Tom and Jerry cartoon was: had he ever asked his old mentor about complying further with Mueller? I would bet Stone would tell him to go ahead. The more he “protects” his old mentor, the more guilty his old mentor looks!
Plus I would bet that Mueller already has all those emails. You can do that with the right court order flashed in the face of the ISP. What Mueller is looking for from Nunberg now is verification. And there is always that selective remark that might slip out.
12Well I for one WOULD like to see Bob Mueller put Roger Stone in handcuffs, as well as Corey Lewandowski. One is just as despicable as the other to me. Maybe Gitmo for both.
13Is there enough popcorn (and beverages) to go around for this?
14I can’t tell if Nunberg really thinks he won’t go to jail, or whether he’s afraid of being assassinated and thinks he’ll be safer in jail. After all, he’s throwing Trump and Putin under the bus, and Jared, and they all have “connections.”
15One interviewer said she smelled alcohol on Sam. Guess he’d have to fortify his courage to tell Mr Mueller that he’s not coming. Ah, yet another fool in the fermerment of fools known as “I hire only the best guys”. Just wondering, from which asylum did traitor trump raid for his team?
16” More smoking guns than a children’s birthday party at Dana Loesch’s ”
I’m just loving this line.
17” Just when you think you’ve met Donald Trump’s stupidest hire, Sam Nunberg goes on TV and tells Robert Mueller: “I won’t give you my documents. However, I WILL give you amazing reasons why they might include more smoking guns than a children’s birthday party at Dana Loesch’s!”
–Mrs.Betty Bowers
Understandably, as of this AM Nunberg is backing away from his strident position of yesterday. This guy is himself a lawyer. Sigh.And as for the aroma of alcohol that someone thought wagon his breath, here in D.C. alcoholism is as common as halitosis.
18Sounds as though Sam was overcome by the stress of the demands of Mueller’s subpoena, yesterday. After a serious talk with his lawyer about his future, and the best way to stay out of jail, he seems to have calmed down and decided to cooperate.
19@That Other Jean
The image of several FBI SWAT team members with their own copies of the Mueller team’s subpoena knocking his door at 0400 ala Manafort’s recent experience might have guided Sam’s thinking once he sobered up or came down, as they case may be. He picked a bad week to give up amphetamines.
20Sam Nunberg.
Because the batshit crazy contingent if the Trump campaign needs representation, and sometimes Carter Page needs a day off.
