He is basically begging for it.
He may have been threatened by Stone.
Nothing else makes sense.

(24,760 posts)No one in their right mind announces publicly that they intend to flout the American legal system. "Come and get me, Bobby!"
Or the Russians, possibly? "They made me do it, Comrade!"?
Fed prison is his safe space?

Is he really that stupid?
Looks like a key to this who,e web could be the Manafort/Stone link, as they were partners for a long time, encompassing dirty dealings almost beyond comprehension

(11,098 posts)and may not fully realize how serious his predicament is. Seems like he thinks he's too small a fish to get caught up in Mueller's net, but he's exactly the kind Mueller would be willing to squeeze to get someone else. Nunberg better start getting his communications together or prepare himself for some time behind bars.

(11,885 posts)Mueller's hand , and put him jail, only to have trump pardon him out? Then all of them follow the same pattern. All designed to slow down the process?

(733 posts)Nunberg is nothing, but a lot of somebodies have their lives riding on hiding the truth. Trump has to stop the rest of the list from testifying. Nunberg is creating the persona of nice guy caught up in a sloppy overbroad investigation. He is even a hero for not testifying because Stone is like family. The plan is that by pardoning such a heroic nobody, there will be no public outcry.

(3,702 posts)It seems to me like he is being pressured by someone (accused of leaking, snitching, cooperating - whatever) and he is making a huge public display of defiance of "hey look at me!! Look at how much I am NOT cooperating!! See I am gonna tear up this subpoena!! I laugh at your attempts to jail me"
I think he would feel safer in jail - he is terrified of something

(5,210 posts)I wasn't so sure until I read just now he's been on a LOT of shows today.
And then there's this too:
Sam Nunberg on @jaketapper is 50% Roger Stone & 50% Trump's speed doctor but as a man who knows I can tell he's running low on go go juice. Slurring in 3,2,1...

No offense intended.
