In reply to the discussion: Sam Nunberg goes dark on Tuesday after his spectacular media meltdown [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)20. Hmmm. So your friend went from essentially "normal"
to in bad trouble without a prior history. Did the really intense conversations and the rest happen in one day or ?
Theyre not going to send me to jail, Nunberg exclaimed. You know what, Mr. Mueller, if he wants to send me to jail, he can send me to jail and Ill laugh about it, and Ill make a bigger spectacle than I am on your TV show now.
Sounded very self aware at the end, listening to what was spilling out of his mouth.
CNN Politics: In December 2016, Hope Hicks shared strong words on Nunberg with Politico. "He's a highly self-destructive individual who makes routine calls begging for his job back,"
Just imagine the trouble he could be in if they didn't do him the favor of firing him twice. Well, good bet he's getting help and in a lot better shape today. It's Tuesday, supposed to appear Friday. Mueller would have to give him an extension if Nunberg needed. His records may be in very disorganized and incomplete.

OP
Maybe his lawyer wrestled him to the floor and slapped duct tape over his mouth.

His interviews reminded me of something that happened to a friend some years ago.

He kind of unraveled over a period of time, but IIRC it wasn't a very long time -

If she thought she smelled alcohol on his breath, she should not have put him on the air.

Normally I would agree with you. But these people have been lying through their teeth

Its not moral, in a human sense, but it is certainly ethical in a journalistic sense.

I don't think it was alcohol - he was hyper and his speech wasn't slurred.

It might depend on if the person answering the phone at his house had a Russian accent. n/t
