Pierce: Sam Nunberg Starts Talking. You Know Who's Listening.

[mcar]

Do it, Sam. Tear up the subpoena on live TV. Burn the shreds and piss on them to put it out. Paint your face blue and dance around the ashes. Be a real pagan, you magnificent crackpot bastard, you.

Sam Nunberg was one of the original Igors who worked in the lab before the monster was ready to roll out. Somebody—Hi, Corey!—found some old Facebook posts and Nunberg was gone long before things really got rolling. But, late Monday afternoon, after Robert Mueller had dropped paper on virtually the entire staff of Camp Runamuck, including Sam, he dialed up Katy Tur on MSNBC and went more than a little bananas. About a half hour later, he popped up on CNN. Basically, Nunberg argued that a subpoena from a federal grand jury is just too damn much trouble and that he’s much too busy to comply and that Mueller should understand that and not put him in jail.

Why does Bob Mueller need to see my emails when I send Roger [Stone] and Steve [Bannon] clips and we talk about how much we hate people?

Because, dude, if you don’t, Mueller is within his rights to arrange for an extended study of institutional cafeteria maintenance. There's no Fifth Amendment right not to be pestered for paperwork. (Have the dog eat your subpoena. It’s more believable.) I guess you could speculate that Nunberg's just out there running shiny-object interference for the real crooks, but he didn't sound like it. He sounded like a guy with no more rope to hang onto. I suspect he's not alone....

There’s something genuinely hilarious in the fact that the entire Republican Party handed itself over to this bunch of mooks, and that the logical end of the conservative “movement” turned out to be a vulgar talking yam. But that’s for later, happier days. However, let us return to Sam Nunberg’s televised “episode.” There was one piquant passage that occurred when Tur asked him if Sam thought that Mueller had the goods on the president*.

I think they may. I think he may have done something during the election. But I don’t know that for sure.

1. So Roger Stone is about to bit the big one.

Remember this,the Dem's will love this to happen. Stone has Ratfucked so many Dem's over the years,and bay back will be truly sweet.

4. Sounds to me like Stone engineered today's circus act

Nunberg was more than willing. And I think he was fueled with a little bit of liquid courage. Compared to his appearance on Melber's show a few weeks ago, today's Nunberg was a different guy. And it wasn't the subpoena that had him looking paler and repeating his thoughts.

Today, he's been acting like a guy who stopped off at the bar on the way to the dinner party and now he's sitting next to you and pouring his pearls of wisdom into your ear until your eyes are rolling back into your head. A few weeks ago, Nunberg was far more measured and coherent. Stone ought to be worried.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Could have,but this will

cost him twenty years.

[eleny]

6. I'm sure it didn't go as expected

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Sounds like he changed his mind.

He sure as hell looked damn scared today. What is amazing is,there have not been any bodies showing up in car trunks as of yet.

[eleny]

9. Yunno, that crosses my mind every day, lately

It's incredible that we're tossing that around! But I guess if we look at it like it's a mob outfit then it makes sense.

Can you imagine the nation's reaction if it does start happening?!

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Only on Park Bench's in England.

2. There's something else going on here.

I just listened to Nunberg on the phone with Katy Tur.
He repeats the same sentence dozens of times..."I am not gonna go thru my emails with Roger Stone and Steve Bannon"
"I am not gonna spend 80 hours finding emails with Roger Stone and Steve bannon".

Then he says Stone is his mentor, several times.

Every time he repeats, word for word, the sentence about Roger Stone and Steve Bannon, it seems like he is talking into a a (maybe) hidden mike...like he is assuring somebody he won't rat on them.

If he said it once, he said it a dozen times in that interview, and seemed very focused on getting that message out.
I think he is scared of somebody, and it isn't Mueller.

[Silver Gaia]

11. Yup. That was my thought, too.

He doesn't want to end up in the trunk of a car or as an "accidental" suicide. Tonight, he's sobered up and is backing off the panicky craycray, but he's still scared.

[flibbitygiblets]

13. OR he was drinking. Drunks are famous for repeating themselves. He wasn't slurring his words, so

it's possible he has a high tolerance (I was once married to one of these types).

One of the reporters he interviewed with today flat out accused him of reeking of alcohol. I noticed that his demeanor changed significantly after that. He acted like he's heard this statement before, and suddenly became softer, less beligerent.

Then a few hours (presumably after he sobered up a bit), suddenly he's saying he'll probably cooperate.

Just putting out another possible reason for what happened today.

[eleny]

14. Just about everyone called in by Mueller has decided to cooperate

So why wouldn't the powers that be think he'll do the same. I think you're on to something. He's thick with Stone and Trump has known Stone for decades. Nunberg has to know a bunch about Stone & Trump. Trump could cause some damage.

12. One way out: Nunnery may be intentionally devaluing his credibility as a witness.
