Ex-Trump aide Nunberg reverses: Mueller probe not a 'witch hunt'

Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg says that he believes special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election is "warranted," walking back his previous remarks calling the probe a "witch hunt."

"No, I don't think it's a witch hunt. There's a lot there, and that's the sad truth," Nunberg told ABC News in an interview broadcast Saturday, a day after he answered a subpoena by Mueller's team to testify before a federal grand jury on his time in the campaign.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Lone DNC Hacker’ Guccifer 2.0 Slipped Up and Revealed He Was a Russian Intelligence Officer

Guccifer 2.0, the “lone hacker” who took credit for providing WikiLeaks with stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee, was in fact an officer of Russia’s military intelligence directorate (GRU), The Daily Beast has learned. It’s an attribution that resulted from a fleeting but critical slip-up in GRU tradecraft.

That forensic determination has substantial implications for the criminal probe into potential collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia. The Daily Beast has learned that the special counsel in that investigation, Robert Mueller, has taken over the probe into Guccifer and brought the FBI agents who worked to track the persona onto his team.

Manafort associate had Russian intelligence ties during 2016 campaign, prosecutors say

The FBI has found that a business associate of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had ongoing ties to Russian intelligence, including during the 2016 campaign when Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, were in touch with the associate, according to new court filings.




I think this is what will play out in the end: Mueller finds the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to gain an advantage in the 2016 campaign, but Mueller will be unable to pin anything specific to Trump. He's been around too long to not know that when there are dirty deeds to do, you have your people do them for you and you stand clear while they take any heat. And when they do take the fall you say the nicest things about them as they are dragged off. "Flynn, he was a great guy, treated poorly."

Remember, it's a conspiracy between both parties that is the chargeable offense. Mueller may have that when it comes to the campaign itself. Then there is the possibility they have evidence of a coverup by the president and others associated with the campaign. Or finally, obstruction of justice.

These only concern the election and I'm sure I've missed a few. Then there is the rest like money laundering. Has Trump been compromised by a foreign country? What if anything will his family be charged with? Will his wife leave him and what if anything will Mueller do with the Stormy Daniels case. She says she was threatened and the money used to pay her off may have violated campaign finance laws. She was paid off so she could not influence the election. That too may have ramifications.

Perhaps best of all is that Trump has shit lawyers. All the really good ones don't want any part of this, or him.

Are you saying if individuals in his campaign are guilty of collusion then he is as well by extension? I'm not familiar with how that charge would work exactly.

Otherwise , yes - I agree with your list of other offenses he may be charged with.

I hope they don't try the campaign finance charge with him because of Daniels. I hate the guy and can't wait to see him gone, but that seems a stretch, even desperate to me.



I don't know if Trump is guilty by extension unless he was in the loop. It looks to me like he was. He was involved in creating a response to his sons contacts with the Russians. Even though it was after the fact, he may have been involved in real time with the Russian meeting.

Special counsel Robert Mueller and congressional investigators have interviewed roughly 50 people who work at the White House or were involved in Donald Trump’s campaign. That number needs to be updated. It's a month old. There is so much we don't know. Lets not forget Wikileaks.

Hey, campaign finance laws are very important and can not be ignored. The consequences could be catastrophic in the future if a precedent is set here. One that ignores Trump doing it because it is a hot button issue. And don't forget. Daniels said she was threatened.

If Trumps lawyer actually spoke to the attorneys of Flynn and Manafort as three different sources claim, and told them Trump would pardon them at the time he did, in an attempt to shut them up, think obstruction of justice big time.

One thing is certain. When charges are filed by Mueller they are thorough and appear to be unbeatable or unassailable so far.

Did you come up with this on your own? Did somebody else spur you?
This could result in effective swamp drainage.
That tweeter storm was like a Royal Magnet of distraction and misdirection.
We can hope.
But all of the firings are confusing, or undermine the premise.



The Mueller investigation is now in it's collusion phase. If there are going to be charges filed they will be filed under the term conspiracy.

And sig, jsf. The fact that Sessions is responsible for a prosecutor from Utah opening an investigation. One looking into the the FBI's investigation into the role Russia played during the election, breaks his recusal agreement. Sessions is interjecting himself into an investigation that is investigating him.

Oops, because Mueller is now investigating that.

Mueller has evidence that Trump lawyer met in Prague with Russians during campaign, sources say

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department special counsel has evidence that Donald Trump's personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Confirmation of the trip would lend credence to a retired British spy's report that Cohen strategized there with a powerful Kremlin figure about Russian meddling in the U.S. election.
It would also be one of the most significant developments thus far in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of whether the Trump campaign and the Kremlin worked together to help Trump win the presidency.
