Ex-Trump aide Nunberg’s bizarre behavior

Depending on who you talk to, former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg is either having a mental breakdown or is crazy like a fox and a great actor. If the latter is true, he is pulling the wool over the eyes of the media and special counsel Robert Mueller. Nunberg, who refused to comply with a subpoena from Mueller, seems to have valuable information. But in his defiant plea, during which he essentially dared Mueller to arrest him, he also came across as vindictive. He had harsh words for people he worked with, including President Trump. Could this contradictory behavior be because he’s stressed over legal fees or because he’s loyal? Is he trying to protect mentor Roger Stone? His multiple TV interviews quickly turned into a self-destructive act that could get him more than just 15 minutes of fame. Kenneth L. Zimmerman
