UNH Professor Seth Abramson has some thoughts on today's news below....suffice it to say, its' lit as .....![]() (1) (THREAD) BREAKING: In a stunning development in the Trump-Russia investigation, former top Trump aide Sam Nunberg says he will defy a Mueller subpoena, thereby risking incarceration. I discuss the context and implications of this development here. (2) Nunberg has become a well-known figure in the Trump-Russia saga due to him acknowledging that he's intentionally lied to the media in the past—requiring journalists to issue caveats whenever they cite him—and saying Don Jr. told his dad about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. (3) The importance of this second point can't be overstated—as Nunberg is the second top Trump aide (with Bannon) to publicly express certainty Don Jr. told his dad of the campaign's secret meeting with Kremlin agents at Trump Tower on or around the time it happened. This matters. (4) If Trump knew of the Trump Tower meeting with Kremlin agents at the time it happened, Trump may be responsible for a series of federal offenses relating to how he worked to cover up the nature of the meeting afterward and his knowledge of Russian ambitions/actions post-June. (5) More importantly, Sam Nunberg just said on MSNBC that he believes "Trump may have done something [illegal]" during the presidential campaign, but he doesn't know what yet. He bases his opinion on interactions with the Trump campaign after he and Roger Stone were fired from it. (6) Nunberg met with Mueller a week ago, and it's clearly that meeting that led to Mueller issuing a subpoena for any and all emails between Nunberg and certain Trump aides—basically, any Trump-Russia figure you could think of, including the president himself—since November 2015. (7) Nunberg told MSNBC his meeting with Mueller focused on whether he (Nunberg) heard discussions of Trump Tower Moscow plans during the presidential campaign, and/or whether he saw any signs that Trump was developing U.S.-Russia policy on the basis of his ongoing business deals (8) During the course of his interview with MSNBC, Nunberg revealed that he did think that Trump was constantly aware throughout the presidential campaign of how his policies could affect his business—as he didn't expect to win. I and others have been saying this for many months. |
