Perhaps on suicide watch, as well. He is self-destructing on camera today.

Luke Harding, Steven Morris and Caroline Bannock

One of the two people critically ill in a Salisbury hospital after suspected exposure to an unknown substance is a Russian man who was exchanged in a high-profile spy swap in 2010, the Guardian understands.
Sergei Skripal, 66, was one of four Russians exchanged for 10 deep cover sleeper agents planted by Moscow in the US.
Wiltshire police said that a man in his 60s and a woman in her 30s were found unconscious on a bench in the Maltings shopping centre in Salisbury on Sunday afternoon.
Temporary assistant chief constable Craig Holden said that the pair were believed to have been known to each other and were in a critical condition. He added: This has not been declared as a counter-terrorism incident and we would urge people not to speculate.

(146,329 posts)That could change, though. He clearly is in need of help, though, and probably should not be alone.

(13,526 posts)Starting Monday morning, Nunberg began calling several close associates that he was flatly refusing, at this time, to cooperate with Muellers investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Three Nunberg friends said they walked away from those conversations fearful that he was drinking again and was about to embark on a personal tailspin. They didnt know it would play out on daytime TV.
Nunberg did not respond to multiple calls and texts from The Daily Beast
One associate urged Nunberg, a witness in Muellers probe, not to do anything stupid and to go to his parents house immediately. According to this source, Nunberg promptly hung up. Minutes later, the former Trump campaign aide was on MSNBC via phone, starting a mid-Monday media blitz that would include several different shows on CNN and MSNBC.

(56,829 posts)also, on the suicide watch. That might have been why he was drunk as well.
MineralMan
(146,329 posts)I want his story, frankly. He clearly knows what they'll find. He's making the wrong choices right now.
Tatiana
(14,167 posts)Forget about the inquiries into Trump's business practices. That's a smokescreen he threw out there.
He has real information regarding a Russian connection. And he's terrified, rightfully so.
Jail might be the safest place for him right now.

(146,329 posts)I really want him to tell his story, so I'd like to see him protected from himself.

(24,319 posts)for an insanity defense. Too crazy to even testify.
Maybe his lawyer told him to just hit the cable news shows and go nuts.
Probably not, bit it's almost plausible. It's about the only thing they haven't tried yet.

Tough to see. Especially since when it is like this they sometimes take others out with them.
