Chris Hayes had Nunberg on a few weeks ago. Nunberg praised Mueller team as disciplined pros

who matter-of-factly went about doing their jobs.

Now he's all over TV changing his story....wildly. There must be serious fear in this man.

Thinking of that Russian spy found unconscious in England in recent days.

Russian national convicted of spying for Britain found critically ill from unknown substance


A man who is critically ill after being exposed to an unknown substance in Wiltshire is a Russian national convicted of spying for Britain, the BBC understands. Sergei Skripal, 66, was granted refuge in the UK following a "spy swap" between the US and Russia in 2010. He and a woman, 33, were found unconscious on a bench at a shopping centre in Salisbury on Sunday afternoon. The substance has not been identified.

Wiltshire Police are investigating whether a crime has been committed. They said the pair had no visible injuries but had been found unconscious at the Maltings shopping centre. They have declared a "major incident" and multiple agencies are investigating. They said it had not been declared as a counter-terrorism incident, but they were keeping an "open mind". They said officers did not believe there was any risk to the wider public.

Col Skripal, who is a retired Russian military intelligence officer, was jailed for 13 years in 2006 for spying for Britain. He was convicted of passing the identities of Russian intelligence agents working undercover in Europe to the UK's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6.

It was bizarre hearing him say he intends to defy the subpoena and will not turn over the documents requested. He was defiant in his tone and almost frothing at the mouth he sounded so upset. And then abruptly said (when asked) that he thought tRump MIGHT have done something wrong during the campaign but he did not know. It was the most bizarre interview I’ve heard since Carter Page appeared on All In With Chris Hayes.

He was referring to Trump as just "Trump". No Mr. Trump or President Trump or The President. Yet he showed Mueller the respect of always calling him Mister[/] Mueller. I just found it a little strange.

and put him someplace safe from Putin's people and their chemistry kits of difficult to detect poisons and radioactive substances.

Plenty no doubt but the first thing that grabs me is the request for the emails.

There may be a smoking gun in there.

And we may be witnessing a smoke screen with these wacky interviews
