Absolute Bonkers - Sam Nunberg CNN Interview

Post by _Doctor CamNC4Me »

Appearing intoxicated, ex-Trump aide decides to go on national tv, and, well, here you go:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/05/politics ... index.html

You'll just have to click on the link and read the bullets. It's worth your time. And if that isn't bad enough he later calls into NY1 and describes Sarah Huckabee thusly:

“She’s a joke,” Nunberg rebutted. “Okay, fine, yeah, she’s unattractive, she’s a fat slob. But that’s unrelevant [sic]. The person she works for has a 30-percent approval rating.”

For a fun and informative unpacking see this nice summary on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comme ... n/dv8qdy1/

I mean, if you can sit through it, I strongly recommend watching the entire interview. There's a reason why he's drunk and acting out. Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if we find he's offed himself within the week.

For the Trump supporters: Nunberg is a walking, breathing metaphor for the Trump presidency and by extension the GOP.

He's trying to come off strong and posturing. I say the guy is scared crapless about something. He's hiding something.

You better believe it. I doubt tough guy is going to prison if he can avoid it. The question is does he have enouh for Mueller to cut him a deal or was he in so deep he's being charged regardless? I'm fairly certain he's drunk again today.

The Trump circus steams ahead unabated:

https://www.theroot.com/former-trump-ca ... 1823611610

Nunberg turned church boy and noted that he gathered everything that the subpoena asked for—including emails, text messages and communications he had with 10 campaign associates—and handed it all over before Wednesday’s deadline.


Nunberg... is now agreeing to appear before the federal grand jury on Friday and added that he won’t be holding anything back.


I wonder if he cops to meeting with the Russians who then either offered or handed over 'damaging' information on Hillary Clinton (or better yet Trump - ha) how that's going to affect our Manchurian President... I can't wait for the Twitter rants that are coming our way.

Lol. After saying he wouldn't testify at the grand jury meeting he arrived! And even better even though Nunberg's attorney accompanied him to the court Friday, the lawyer can't be in the grand jury hearing.

I hope he's been drinking....

Shouldn't that be Moscovite President? :wink:
