The Trump campaign did not collude with Russia. I know this. You know this. Even Democrats know this. But that’s sure as heck not stopping them from trying to make something out of nothing. Now, there’s this.
Sam Nunberg was a former Trump campaign advisor. I know, I know. I’ve never heard of him either. He’s making headlines because he’s refusing to comply with Mueller’s subpoena.
Watch: Ex-Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg says he's refusing comply with Mueller subpoena:

There’s also this.

Good grief.
Sam Nunberg, who was an advisor on Trump’s 2016 campaign, told MSNBC that it would be “really funny” if Mueller arrested him for ignoring the grand jury subpoena. Laughing, he said that “my lawyer is about to dump me right now.”
Nunberg told MSNBC that Mueller’s team has been asking “did you hear Russian spoken in the trump office?” and “did you hear about Trump Tower Moscow?”
When asked if Mueller’s team might have something on the president, Nunberg said, “I think they may.”
The MSNBC interview came after the Washington Post published a story that cited Nunberg as saying he would refuse to comply with the subpoena. “Let him arrest me,” Nunberg told the newspaper. “Mr. Mueller should understand I am not going in on Friday.”
This entire thing is bonkers.

"Nunberg said he was planning to go on Bloomberg TV and tear up the subpoena."

Because this interview was so bonkers between @KatyTurNBC and Sam Nunberg, I'm coming out of transcription retirement.

Another stone-cold brilliant reply by Katy:
Nunberg: I'm not a fan of Donald Trump, as you well know. Katy, do you know that?

What a train wreck.
BTW, here’s Sarah Sanders’ response.
Reporter: Sam Nunberg, on MSNBC said, "[the president] may have done something during the election but I don't know that for sure."@PressSec: He definitely doesn't know that for sure because he is incorrect. https://t.co/JVcXqz7cqj pic.twitter.com/U1jnQVztxX
