Is Nunberg running a scam for Donald Trump?

By threatening to ignore the subpoena to appear before the grand jury, he wants people to believe that he is somehow being treated unfairly.

Is he attempting to help Trump with his argument that Mueller has gone overboard with his "unfair witch hunt"? If Trump is going to try an dump Mueller, this is the time.

Something seems a little fishy about this whole charade by Nunberg. He keeps saying that he is not going to throw his mentor, Roger Stone, under the bus.

Look out Roger! Here comes the bus!

3. My impression was that Nunberg is bitter and angry

because he and BFF Roger Stone were fired from the Trump campaign (Nunberg was fired twice). He seems to hate everybody in the campaign and current WH staff, and he trash-talked Trump as well. I don't think he's trying to help Trump; he seems to be trying to protect Roger Stone (from what?), and maybe get even with the people he thinks screwed him.

Nunberg is monopolizing the airwaves while Trump is pulling another scam. It almost seems staged.

Trump would use that as proof that Mueller investigation must be ended...

5. He is the harbinger of pardons to come. He is supposed to ensure that he is so nice, there wont be

fire storm when he is pardoned, making it easier for Trump to keep his cohorts from testifying.

7. It is soooo weird that it is hard not to think there is Something/Someone behind this stunt...

But, honestly, I've never seen this guy (like Stone and Carter Page) act like anything but a sheer lunatic.

If it is an act, they must all have the same drama coach.

Like I quoted in another post, per CNN:


“They have something on Donald Trump...not sure what, but definitely have something on him....people like Hannity, Dobbs, Piero are going to be very embarrassed.” That’s close to an exact quote.

So if that’s a scam on behalf of Mango Unchained, it’s the worst one ever pulled.

9. I think Nunberg is confusing political spin with the rule of law

which is very common these days. Mueller is a lawman.

10. It's got Roger Stone written all over it

Ex Trump campaign employee making wild accusations that are near on point to what everyone suspects. All to finally blow up when Ol Sam admits he's lying about all of it. It therefore means/further proves to the Trumpanzees that all of it is "fake news"
