Scarborough: Someone Who Knows Nunberg Says He’s Not a Rhodes Scholar

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “I will say Nunberg followed our playbook because right before the plane hit the ground he pulled up. But I talked to somebody who knew him really well yesterday who said kindly that he’s not a Rhodes Scholar. A lot of his friends were suggesting that he may have been under the influence, and that he was completely overwhelmed by what he found himself in, the lawyer’s fees just to sort through those e-mails. And that is the thing that a lot of people don’t understand. I was explaining last week about Hope Hicks, the pressure that she had to be under and the amount of legal fees that she would be facing and somebody said, 'Oh, the White House doesn’t pay that?' No. It’s these young — I say kids because they’re about the age of my children that are going to be facing $50,000, $100,000 legal fees they just — they don’t have. So I think we saw yesterday a younger guy buckling under the pressure.”
