Although hot takes focused on Sam Nunberg's "mistaken strategy," what's missing is what he forced the public to do. Everyone watched. Everyone gawked.
Yesterday Sam Nunberg treated the media, the public, and Mueller with all of the respect we deserved - which is to say, none.
Nunberg showed there is no low the media won't go to. He kept it too real, reminding me of the scene in Gladiator, where the Spainard makes the mistake of being too violent during gladiatorial combat. He didn't keep it classy enough.
Are you not entertained?
Is this not why you are here?
The media wants to pretend that it's bringing great truths to the public, and the left wants to pretend it cares about Russian collusion.
Flynn, a war hero, is going bankrupt. Liberals are celebrating. None want to stop to admit he wasn't charged for colluding with Russians. Flynn plead guilty after the FBI fabricated false statements of facts in 302s.
Not one person capped by Mueller was charged with Russian meddling offenses. Flynn got capped for obstruction, although those 302s are unreliable. How do we know Flynn lied? Innocent people plead guilty every day.
Manafort? Shady dude, and got caught up, as did his partner Rick Gates. Yet where is the Tony Podesta indictment? Tony Podesta had FARA violations, and partnered with Gates. Podesta didn't file a FARA for the Uranium One Deal.
George Papadopoulos did what? He lied to the FBI, allegedly, which is easy to do. They got him on a chicken shit obstruction charge rather than a substantive offense.
Not one person has been caught up in anything involving Russian election meddling.
Everyone is getting caught up in chicken shit obstruction charges, or in Manafort's case, are being caught being as shady as everyone else on K Street.
Nunberg showed the public that we want blood. Not truth, not justice, not honor.
We want to be entertained.
And we hate him for it.
