Hadn’t heard that. Didn’t think Dean was the prime mover.
The link goes to a webpage that has information on it. By Colodny, one of the authors of “Silent Coup”. GREAT book that is about Watergate - but SO much more. Detailed notes, old-time investigative reporting. Along with Dean’s instigation of the break-in it details the military trying to derail the State Department (spying on Kissinger, etc.)
If it weren’t for all of the detailed evidence it sounds like something for a conspiracy loon.
Dean sued the writers of the book. Dean lost.
