Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Sadly for Nunberg, his $50K legal bill just turned into a $100K one.

        Except a plea deal will prohibit him from making money on a book.

        All jokes aside, this exhibits how draconian life is for a witness or subject in a federal investigation where prosecutors have been deployed. Want a good lawyer? Hello costs $100K. It can easily go mid 6 figures quickly, even if you’re not a target. Few can handle the $ & duress

        Nunberg already spoke to Mueller last week. What would have happened at that meeting to move it to grand jury subpoena for docs and testimony?

        Reason to believe he wasn't honest? Or reason to need to get him on the record in a transcribed interview?

        Does Nunberg not know how to search email by sender's address?

        $45K of that will be for his lawyer's alcohol.

        He realizes the subpoena is simply pro forma vis-a-vis the investigation and is just being used to test his honesty, right?

        Nunberg is the epitome of “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.”

        You are underestimating by at least a factor of 10

        He can probably get some lawyer looking for publicity for free. On the other hand Nunberg himself is a lawyer with a J.D. degree (according to his Linked In page)

        But at least he can say he was a true believer. I guess that matters to someone.
