re: “screw that” Nunberg has a point

I’ve been a lawyer all my adult life and signed and responded to plenty of federal subpoenas. People have refused to respond to me by letter, by email, and by phone. Sometimes, I on behalf of clients have done same.

If the person I want info from is a non-party, it is then up to me to file a Motion for Contempt to compel their compliance - whether they failed to appear for a depo, or (what I’m talking about here) they failed to produce documents. I do not have an unfettered right to go rifling through someone’s emails just because I have a Law license. Why does Mueller?

Nunberg is a douchebag, but he’s not a party to any criminal or civil case. He’s just a witness. He’s already apparently testified. Mueller can ask for his emails. But Nunberg has got every right to say - no. If I were Nunberg, I would.
