Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg is refusing a subpoena to appear before the Mueller grand jury. “Let him arrest me,” Nunberg said. “Mr. Mueller should understand I am not going in on Friday.” Nunberg said he was planning to go on Bloomberg TV and tear up the subpoena. Oh, please, put him in jail. > **[Former Trump aide Nunberg vowed to defy Mueller, then signals he might...](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/former-trump-aide-sam-nunberg-called-before-grand-jury-says-he-will-refuse-to-go/2018/03/05/24c8b86a-20a9-11e8-badd-7c9f29a55815_story.html?utm_term=.b72e09242bee)** > > A subpoena to Nunberg includes requests for a wide range of documents related to President Trump and his associates. ---

Apparently Nunberg is drunk as a skunk on the phone to Katie Tur. Letting loose with all sorts of stuff that’s likely to get him “removed.” ---

It’s not a good look when you go on national television and say “why would the special prosecutor want to see my emails about Bannon and Stone?”, then close it by asking the interviewer what you think Mueller is going to do, with Katy Tur responding “I think you’re going to prison.” He just called in to Jake Tapper @ CNN… ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > In 1967, a group of activists, disgusted with US military action in Vietnam and elsewhere, held a rally. They marched to the Pentagon and attempted to levitate it with their minds. Golly, I hadn’t thought about that event in decades! Um, you are aware that the stunt was a form of performance art, right? It did exactly what it was intended to – gave a lot of anti-war folks a rollicking good time while garnering a bunch of media attention. ---

I can’t watch at work, but the quotes from Nunberg today are cray-cray. He thinks Mueller “has something” on Trump? And he’s vowing to defy a subpoena and daring Mueller to arrest him. I’m gonna have to think that Mueller is quite willing to arrest him. No matter how often it happens, it’s always startling when someone like Nunberg comes to the surface like a fistula, a symptom of the underlying disorders inside the Trump administration. ---

Nunberg has come completely fucking unglued. He’s calling into multiple news networks now and blathering incoherent word-salad. Drunk, high, just good old-fashioned mortal terror? ---

With his successor, I will not dignify him with a mention of his name nor is the office at the moment worthy of respect. What we have is a traitorous sexual predator living in Kremlin West. I’m with BLD on this. I don’t do it as any kind of deliberate protest, though. I just get a bit physically ill at the thought of writing his full name. No, I’m not kidding.
