Nixon White House attorney John Dean blasts 'bat-sh*t crazy' Sam Nunberg's media meltdown

Responding to the stunningly public meltdown of former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg on Monday, Nixon White House counsel John Dean uncharitably diagnosed the onetime adviser.

"BAT-SH*T CRAZY is the best medical description for his behavior," the former White House lawyer tweeted in the midst of Nunberg's several phone and in-person interviews Monday afternoon.

Dean also referenced fellow Watergate scandal figures G. Gordon Liddy, an FBI agent who worked in the clandestine "White House Plumbers" investigative unit and Martha Mitchell, the wife of President Nixon's attorney general who was outspoken in her condemnation of his administration.

Dean mused that Nunberg, who told interviewers he believes special counsel Robert Mueller "has something" on the president, is possessed "a bit of both" in his latest media antics.

Shortly after the Washington Post broke the story about Nunberg's intent to defy Mueller's subpoena that led to his string of interviews, the former White House counsel blasted his decision to do so.

"This is not Mr. Nunberg’s decision, and he will be in criminal contempt for refusing to show up," Dean said.

"He can take the 5th Amendment. But he can’t tell the [Grand] Jury to get lost," he continued. "He’s going to lose this fight."
