When Gordon Liddy had a radio show, he spoke very harshly about Dean. There might be a recording somewhere. His show was on the radio in the mid 1990’s.
I listened to Mr Liddy’s show. Dean sued Liddy for libel a whole bunch of times. Each and every time Mr Liddy’s reaction was along the lines of “I have waited my entire life to get John Dean on the witness stand under oath”.
Each and every time Dean withdrew his suit before it ever got to trial or depositions.
I don’t know if he was just yanking Mr Liddy’s chain, or, more likely in my view, if he was just using the suits as a publicity stunt to drawn attention away from the public spanking that Mr Liddy continually gave him, outing him as the originator of the entire Watergate break in.
Liddy had a great radio show! He and Barry Farber were the two most intelligent and knowledgeable radio commentators in the business, by far!
I read/heard somewhere that John Dean had sued Liddy 10 times for libel/defamation/slander (something in that line) and Dean LOST all ten times.
Dean made an oblique mention of his being busy with lawsuits, but none of our congress critters were informed sufficiently to question Dean on this.
Too bad
