WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Trump campaign aide arrived Friday at the federal courthouse in Washington for a scheduled grand jury appearance days after he defiantly insisted in a series of news interviews that he intended to defy a subpoena in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Sam Nunberg did not respond to reporters’ questions as he entered court shortly after 9 a.m.

Nunberg on Monday had balked at complying with a subpoena that sought his appearance before a grand jury as well as correspondence with multiple other campaign officials.

But later that night, Nunberg told The Associated Press that he had relented and would wind up complying after all. He said he had worked for hours to produce the thousands of emails and other communications requested by Mueller, who is investigating whether the Trump campaign improperly coordinated with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.

1. Loose lips sink ships

Nunberg can't keep his mouth shut

[Hortensis]

9. He shut up long enough to get inside, where he's

starring in this episode of the Mueller show. I agree that he'll spill everything to these world-class prosecutors, the poor fool imagining "Roger" as a good man who deserves his loyalty.

[sarge43]

2. He'll have a good time, especially if he got drunk again. n/t

[SoCalMusicLover]

3. I'm Confident He Is Sober Today

I wonder what time his testimony will last until.

[HopeAgain]

10. His lawyer probably locked him in a room with no alcohol last night.

He'll testify until the DTs set in. Then it might get really interesting.

[olegramps]

12. I think that it is called protective custody.

[HopeAgain]

14. "self-protective" custody...

[UpInArms]

4. Am soooo hoping he destroys roger stone

eom

[YessirAtsaFact]

5. He sobered up and talked to his lawyer

Sanity returns and he’s in court today.

These jerks love to brag and bluster, just like their fearless leader.

[apnu]

7. Yup. There's a reason Trump picked this clown and this clown picked Trump

They are cut from the same cloth.

[rainin]

6. He was Tuesday's distraction. He didn't mean any of it. IMO n/t

[TranssexualKaren]

18. I agree

I think all he did was to suck up a news cycle that included the disclosure that our Secretary of State was chosen by Putin.

[Dave Starsky]

20. Good Lord! That was just Tuesday?!

Time has gone into some sort of quantum dilation since this gang of lunatics took over. The last year feels like half a lifetime. Every day is so fucked up, with its own outrageous absurdities, that it's hard to gauge the passing of time by milestone events.

I feel like I've aged 20 years since Trump took office.

[Renew Deal]

8. Hi Bob... so about the other day

[lagomorph777]

13. Bob sits there Sphinx-like...

and noooobody's laughing in there.

[Scurrilous]

11. LOL

[BumRushDaShow]

15. This and Stormy are why

the manufactured fantasy "Kim Jung Un to get Drumpf a Nobel Peace Prize" distraction has been running non-stop.

[Renew Deal]

16. Maybe, but that will pass like every other Trump distraction.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Yes. They are the weekly distractions to capture a few news cycles. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Decided To Comply?

Really? He decided that going to jail for defying a subpoena was bad idea? What a genius he must be.

[marble falls]

21. He's going to roll. He's going to fold like a cheap seersucker suit.
