Sam Nunberg -- The very sad story of an instant media darling

Yes, the whole tale is really pretty sad. Weird, sure – totally bizarre, even – but in the end, just sad.

Sam Nunberg burst onto America's airwaves Monday, showing up on nearly every network, sometimes more than once. The former aide to not-yet-candidate Donald Trump had made big news: He vowed to ignore a subpoena from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

But Nunberg went much further, telling CNN: "Trump may have very well done something during the election with the Russians."

Well, that got the media's attention, and both the “CBS Evening News" and ABC’s "World News Tonight" opened their broadcasts with the blockbuster claim.

“The former Trump campaign aide believes investigators have evidence that the Trump campaign may have colluded with the Russians, but Nunberg refuses to appear before a federal grand jury,” said CBS reporter Paula Reid.

Nunberg was everywhere from mid-afternoon into the evening. But by the end, the whole story unraveled. In one interview, Nunberg took credit for being the brains behind Trump's winning campaign, saying: "I came up with the wall, I came up with the Muslim ban, I came up with everything to attack Jeb Bush, all that stuff."
