I thought he was dead. “Worse than Watergate” wasn’t a big seller. Maybe a sequel “Much Much Worse than Watergate—No Seriously, This Time I Really Mean It, Please Buy My Book”

Did Dean actually cause Watergate because he wanted to get records concerning his wife and her professional engagements from DNC headquarters?

Or was that a side job that he thought he could piggy-back on the actual mission?

It is clear to me that Dean initiated the little burglary and lied out his teeth about Nixon.Of Course, the lying press made him a hero of the left. Trump aint leaving. he was compeltely exonerated when Ronenstien read the indictments which are totally phony. Trump will be easily reelected.

I think people forget Woodward and Bernstein spent over a year carefully vetting their source before publishing their findings on Watergate—in short, a lot of “boots on the ground” work. Problem is, the Establishment Media is throwing out charges that are quickly debunked, which makes them effectively “fake news,” as Trump is wont to say.

“While “legislative immunity” protects members of Congress undertaking official activities, obstructing or tampering with a special counsel investigation is criminal activity, and these House Republicans are playing with fire. If they continue they may end up explaining themselves to a Grand Jury. “

That’s some of the craziest sh!t I have ever read.

And, from a lawyer to boot!

What a trashy article! In it’s defense, however, they did not blame Trump for the bubonic plague. /sarc

Was reading along - came to this pukeage....

Trump is the most incompetent person to ever become president. He didn’t want the job, only the attention.

That's when I noticed "Rolling Stone". Figures. Stopped reading right there.

I do agree with John Dean on this one point; It appears that the majority of Trumps legal team consists of inexperienced and/or incompetent lawyers. Mr. Trump is being poorly served in several areas. I could see the beginning of that pattern after the air travel vetting laws kept getting blocked or overturned by any old liberal judge who felt like making their own laws.

Mr. Trump’s associates; Manafort and Cohen also seem to only have access to lawyers who cannot adequately defend their client. Manafort should not still be locked up. There is always the possibility that the lawyers are good, but the Trump Team rejects their advice.

That’s a long article, but I skimmed it and noticed lots of overkill type statements.

Wondering, is John Dean the best they have left? Because he is basically a nobody.

His book on the George W. Bush admin was ‘Worse than Watergate’? That’s an example of what’s left of his brain.

Dean says “The truth always has a way of surfacing” .. but he doesn’t seem to comprehend that’s exactly what’s happening to The Swamp from whence he crawled.

Poor creatures .. the murky waters have been their hiding place, and now it’s being drained.
