OT but apparently Sam Nunberg was on MSNBC melting down. It was his subpoena that was leaked, and he’s not going to comply. https://twitter.com/krassenstein/status/970747690882682880?s=19

It’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for him.

It’s getting to where the popcorn will never be ready enough to watch this crap. I think they should just do like some of the meaner classes in high school do with substitute teachers and go in every day to see if they can make her cry. There’s no other value in the exercise.

Sam Nunberg is the kind of guy you push out of a helicopter a thousand feet over the ocean when you want to impress on the other people in the helicopter that when you ask a question you expect an answer.

I won’t watch until the next round of indictments are handed down or until Fat Nixon resigns, whichever comes first, but has anyone asked Grumbles McGlower why she’s still unable to get a permanent security clearance?

She asked, but they couldn’t tell her :laughing:

Hmm, I sat back, closed my eyes for just a few minutes. That is all I did and all of sudden people are popping corn all over the place.

that was the exact right amount of wrong.

O I saw part of that and it was amazing.

He also dropped a dime on the prez and said Mueller might have something on him because he might have done some things during the campaign.

:joy:

I actually enjoyed that spectacle thoroughly. Nunberg’s voice was so high he sounded like his nuts were in a vise.

[/quote]Nunberg - isn’t that French for “nothing burger”? Which is what Trump and all the minions will claim. “Didn’t know him. Fired from the campaign in 2015. Haven’t talked to him since. Wouldn’t know him. He signed a NDA and I already sued him once over it and I’ll do it again.”

Mr. Nunberg might be best advised to reconsider his recalcitrance.

You have plenty of time, these fucks never come out when they say as they are too busy trying to come up with something that even half way makes sense at the last minute.

If you all haven’t already done it, the New Yorker piece on Steele that broke the Russia blocked Romney as SecState is mandatory reading. And this is me saying it, and I kinda hate the New Yorker a little bit around the edges.

This is, to me the truly critical point:

Steele wasn’t aware that by August, 2016, a similar debate was taking place inside the Obama White House and the U.S. intelligence agencies. According to an article by the Washington Post, that month the C.I.A. sent what the paper described as “an intelligence bombshell” to President Obama, warning him that Putin was directly involved in a Russian cyber campaign aimed at disrupting the Presidential election—and helping Trump win. Robert Hannigan, then the head of the U.K.’s intelligence service the G.C.H.Q., had recently flown to Washington and briefed the C.I.A.’s director, John Brennan, on a stream of illicit communications between Trump’s team and Moscow that had been intercepted. (The content of these intercepts has not become public.)

Mueller has those intercepts. He’s had them all along. One of the reasons you would name Robert Mueller isn’t just his reputation for iron integrity and unflappability, but because he started out on day one with the necessary security clearance to see signal intel that GCHQ gave us because NSA wasn’t legally allowed to intercept it but GCHQ was. The questions he’s asking aren’t, as Asshat Mike Allen implied, just Mueller checking boxes. He knows the answers to the questions he’s asking already.

That is critical.

He does know the answers. What he is doing now and has been doing is building the case - which witnesses he calls for what reasons. It’s a matter of putting together a kind of movie for the jury through the evidence that he introduces through certain witnesses.

I was going to say that he’s the kid that got his lunch money stolen on the playground every day.

What a dweeb.
