In conclusion, the Republican Party maintains a relationship with dirty politics tricksters that goes back to the days of their leader, Richard M. Nixon.You may have seen Sam Nunberg on one of his many appearances on television yesterday. Nunberg was an aide to Donald Trump who now at the age of 36 years said he was with Trump since 2011. That is he was publicity and then campaign advisor for six years.
How did this young attorney grab Trump's attention? For one thing, it appears to be his style. Listening to the "troubled" man on television, he sounded and acted much like Trump. One difference is that Nuberg admitted to taking prescribed antidepressant medication. TV host, Erin Burnett also said that he had the odor of alcohol on his person. He denied drinking.
To the main point, Nunberg is another "Trump hire." Significantly, Nunberg worked for Mitt Romney's 2008 campaign, being hired by attorney Jay Sekulow to work with the American Center for Law & Justice in an attempt to stop the construction of the Park51 mosque. There he met Roger Stone, whom he has described as his mentor.
The significance is that Nunberg is a Republican Party conservative and political advisor to two presidential candidates.
In February 2014, Nunberg was fired by Trump after he arranged a Buzzfeed interview with Trump that ended up being highly critical of Trump. That was Numberg's mistake.
However, Trump liked him so much he brought him back.
In February 2015, Nunberg was rehired by Trump, as a communications adviser for the Trump campaign. Nunberg, along with Stone, helped prepare the candidate for the first Republican debate, on August 6, 2015.
Next, Trump fired Nunberg again, later that month after some of his old Facebook posts surfaced which contained ethnic comments.
"In July 2016, Trump sued Nunberg for $10 million, accusing Nunberg of violating a confidentiality agreement by leaking information to the New York Post. In a legal response, Nunberg said that Trump might have illegally funneled corporate money into the campaign. Trump and Nunberg settled their legal dispute in August 2016."
WikiWhat you see is that Nunberg is a hired gun who will perform dirty tricks under the guise of a political operative.
His being hired is a reflection on his employers, Trump, Romney, and Roger Stone.
Who is Roger Stone?
Roger Stone has a life-long history of being a dirty political trickster. Here is some of what Wiki says about him.
"1972–1977: Nixon administration and Reagan '76
After Nixon won the 1972 presidential election, Stone worked for the administration in the Office of Economic Opportunity. After Nixon resigned, Stone went to work for Bob Dole, but was later fired after columnist Jack Anderson publicly identified Stone as a Nixon 'dirty trickster.' In 1976, he worked in Ronald Reagan's campaign for president, and in 1977, became national chairman of the Young Republicans.
With partners Charlie Black and Paul Manafort, he formed Black, Manafort, and Stone, a political consulting firm, described as "instrumental in the success of Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign". Republican political strategist Lee Atwater later joined the firm in 1985, after serving the #2 position on Reagan-Bush '84. The firm lobbied for the Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos and the Congolese dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.
In 1987–88, Stone served as senior adviser to Jack Kemp's presidential campaign, which was managed by consulting partner Charlie Black. In that same election, his other partners worked for George H.W. Bush (Lee Atwater as campaign manager, and Paul Manafort as director of operations in the fall campaign).
In April 1992, Time alleged that Stone was involved with the controversial Willie Horton advertisements to aid George H.W. Bush's 1988 presidential campaign, which was targeted against Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis. Stone has said that he urged Lee Atwater not to include Horton in the ad."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_StoneNow, the news is that Special Prosecutor, Robert Mueller, wants Nunberg and Stone to testify. Nunberg has already been before the FBI, but they want him back to discuss emails and other information. Nunberg says he will defy the subpoena. The prosecutor expects to see him before the grand jury on Friday.
In conclusion, the Republican Party maintains a relationship with dirty politics tricksters that go back to the days of their leader, Richard M. Nixon.
