I'm not sure actually if we are thinking the same thing... but what I saw over and over was that repetition about "Stone is my mentor/father figure, and he did nothing wrong" - that seemed really bizarre.

Roger Stone is a veteran dirty tricks guy going all the way back to Nixon... read his wikipedia page, it's a nice refresher course.

Granted, he is a wacky mofo, but he has some 40+ years doing some really fucked up behind-the-scenes shit, and is connected to just about every douchebag on the right. He was involved in Watergate. He founded a firm with Manafort in the 80's. He was a lobbyist for Trump's casino biz in the 90's. He was campaign manager for Trump's Reform Party presidential bid. He's alleged to have been involved in multiple campaigns to split opposition votes over the years. He is neck deep in a ton of this shit, and has some powerful friends.

Nunberg is just some weird putz out of a 4th-tier law school. This whole series of interviews left me thinking "Roger Stone totally used this schmuck in some way, and will most definitely be throwing him under the bus."
