I'm taking Seth Abramson with a grain of salt though because he does have the tendency to stretch the truth.

Could you show any examples? I've followed nearly every one of his threads, and haven't seen him report anything that wasn't true. About the worst I could say is that he speculates a lot, but it's speculation backed with experience and well-cited research, so even that has some merit.
Same here, Seth Abramson has been exceptionally detailed and transparent with his sources and information. I'm quite a fan personally.
He's currently trying to talk to Yahoo News

Jesus what is he doing? Why all these interviews?
Does anyone else get the feel that Nunberg is going around to every single news channel, because he knows Trump's gotta be watching one of them? I can't guess [I]why[/I], but it definitely feels like that.

Please be taped

I can't imagine [I]any[/I] half-reputable journalists not taping their phone interviews. Even just as a way to better transcribe them, not to mention the obvious use to counter "I didn't say that!" claims.
Man, every Friday now, huh? This reality show is really starting to pick up.

Doubtful, if he wanted to be seen by Trump all he would have to do is go to Fox News

So, this could be interesting lol[/QUOTE]
Mind you, one former staffer full of bluster does not conclusive evidence constitute. Take all he's said with a grain of salt. If he's truthful, however, it's huge.

Getting your phone to record calls is hella easy, there's no way that every journalist doesn't already record calls
Can't wait to hear the results
somebody also suggested he may be doing this in order to be taken into protective custody, because he's going a bit off the deep end
Nunberg seems to have some long time history with Trump.

A more sober take on it (from Slate, of all places (yes, I know, "Left" bias ranking on MBFC, I'm neither quoting nor linking and I checked up on the relevant claims independently)) points out than Nunberg kind of has a history of making crap up (he's a popular source for Breitbart for just that reason), and wasn't in a position to have heard a lot of the things he's claiming to have heard, since he was fired in 2015, before the at-question Trump Tower meeting.
His meltdown is hilarious but even if he was cold sober right now, I wouldn't necessarily trust him. Since he seems to be halfway to Bat Country, I'm not sure we can derive any meaning from his rantings beyond "this dude is fuuuucked".

But he is a confidant of Roger Stone, who very well could have passed on that information to him in messaging to him - which he claims is extremely frequent on a daily basis to a nearly attached-at-the-hip degree. And Stone, if he could be defined by anything, is a man who has connections and informants.

A fair point - but it still requires an extra link in the chain (Stone has to have been telling the truth to Nunberg who has to be telling the truth to us), and Nunberg's been talking like he heard it personally, not secondhand.

Watching him slowly realize what a huge mistake he's made was incredibly satisfying.

What a week huh?
For the record, #TheBachelor is the #2 trending hashtag on Twitter, with 117K tweets. #1 is #SamNunberg — with 461K tweets.
What a time to be alive.

This shit is incredible.
Like, congrats dude, you've succeeded in seriously implicating your friend. Now, when given the choice of "Go to jail" and "Not go to jail", you're choosing the first one.
Great job, A+!
Given the stunning incompetence and seeming brainlessness shown by Trump and the people he surrounds himself/has surrounded himself with, I have to wonder about those that support him. Is this what dumb people think smart people look like?
God that interview is so painful to watch. He must have been taking lessons from Trump himself on how to answer questions. I legitimately cannot figure out what his huge problem with the subpoena is and why he isn't complying.

I figure he knows something that incriminates Stone, but he's also the dumbest motherfucker alive and thought he could somehow weasel out of complying.

Like, coming from the guy called Obama a "Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser"
I feel like Nunberg isn't exactly the brightest bulb on the tree.
He is definately going to jail.
