Former Trump aide refusing Mueller subpoena: 'Screw that'
www.cnn.com ^ | 3/5/18 | Eli Watkins

Posted on 03/05/2018 1:19:36 PM PST by a little elbow grease

Washington (CNN)In a defiant CNN interview, former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg said Monday he refuses to comply with a grand jury subpoena in the Russia investigation. "Screw that," Nunberg told CNN's Gloria Borger. "Why do I have to go? Why? For what?" But Nunberg said that he is not refusing to comply in order to protect President Donald Trump. "No I'm not protecting him, but he didn't do anything," Nunberg said. "You know what he did? He won the election."

I was just polishing up on this and you are pretty much right which is surprising in the answer, however, there are grounds for appeal if you could prove that any “prolonged” (undefined) detention is “unreasonable” (undefined).

I would imagine that being (basically) compelled to testify against yourself in a prosecutorial fishing witch hunt and then being found in contempt for refusing to participate in your own prosecution may be considered as unreasonable to a few judges... but you would have to find the right one.

That’s not all Nunberg said.

It could be a serious mistake on his part, too, unless he knows some way of avoiding the possible consequences.

“Something really smells about this.”

Sure does, like you smelling like a paid Soros troll. Twenty-one posts into this thread, and you’ve called him a drunk three times and inferred four more times that he can’t be trusted.

So out of 21 posts, you’ve posted seven comments to try to steer the discussion that a man who stands up to the traitor Mueller is a drunk and is untrustworthy.

You need to leave FR now and join your buddies at DU.

He was a plant in the campaign to begin with.

What grand jury? I didn’t even know there was a grand jury set up. Just this kangaroo Special Investigator team.

Either Nunberg is dirty or he has a profound civil disobedience. I admire the latter. Lets hope it is contagious.

Perhaps Nunberg will sojourn abroad in a country that has no extradition treaty with the USA. Trump could eventually pardon him.

bitt :" scary loose cannon - who drugged him on those shows? "

Not necessarily a "scary loose cannon", just someone who knows of a phishing expedition by Mueller without borders,
and doesn't want to go bankrupt legally defending himself from contrived allegations and charges
from Mueller, who has the unlimited financial re$ource$ of the U.$. government.
For example, check out Flynn's legal expenses, and why he pleaded guilty to 'non-collusion' related charges.
Mueller has run amuck !
There is no collusion !
But the allegations keep on financing Muellar's phishing expedition , that keeps on going ,.. and going,.. and going like the "Energizer Bunny Rabbit" !
True that he lacks 'tact' in response to Mueller's pogrom, but that doesn't make him a loose cannon-..
rather, it makes him prudent !
Anyone convicted during Mueller's pogrom will eventually, be reversed, based on exculpatory evidence and Mueller's mission creep !

This whole episode reminds me of when the president under Special Counsel investigation was William Jefferson Clinton and the hostile witness who refused to testify before Ken Starr’s grand jury was Susan McDougal. McDougal was held in contempt and she spent 18 months in federal prisons. McDougal was also subjected to “diesel therapy” which is a special punshment of the federal Bureau of Prisons where they move an inmate around the country from prison to prison. Clinton eventually pardoned Susan McDougal.

You have a lot to learn, fool.

The guy was interviewed Monday night on tv and one of the broadcasters said she smelled alcohol on his breath. Get real.

You are delusional and most likely not very smart.
