Former Clinton adviser imprisoned for refusing to testify warns Nunberg of the costs

BY LUIS SANCHEZ - 03/06/18 03:26 PM EST

Former adviser to President Clinton Susan McDougal — who went to prison for refusing to testify during the Whitewater scandal — said that she does not understand why Sam Nunberg would risk a prison sentence by refusing to cooperate with his subpoena.

“I’m wondering when he says ‘take me to jail,’ is there no one who cares about him? Is there no one that he would look at and say, ‘I’m going to jail’ and see the hurt on their face?” McDougal told MSNBC on Tuesday.




McDougal was one of 15 people convicted in the Whitewater controversy after she refused to answer questions for a grand jury. She spent 22 months in jail, 18 of which were for contempt of court.

McDougal warned Nunberg that a subpoena is no joke and that the ramifications of a prison sentence can be wide-ranging.

But seeing him in an orange jumpsuit would sure as hell make me feel better. A little karma in action.
