John Dean, former White House counsel to Richard Nixon, said Thursday on “CNN News Central” if former President Donald Trump is not convicted in the January 6 case, then “we don’t have the democracy we believe we have.”
Anchor Erin Burnett asked, “John, as you sit here on this day appeared we watch a former president of the United States heading to Washington to be arraigned, charged formally in a federal courthouse for undermining the U.S. Constitution, how do you even put this in context?”
Dean said, “It does not fit in the context because it is bigger and more significant than any litigation, any criminal proceeding we’ve ever had in this country. Democracy itself is really at issue at this trial.”

not sure why they keep digging up this cadaver for a comment
many do not even know who he is
The “democracy” arthritic old mummies like this guy think we have is the same kind of “democracy” they had in the USSR where one’s political opponents can safely be jailed and sent to the gulags...as opposed to the “democracy” we had in this guy’s heyday when leaders the swamp didn’t like could be safely shot by patsies.
I certainly hope we DON’T have the “democracy” that scum like Dean thought we had. Same for the one Biden thinks we have.
Not being a democracy is part of it but the entire swampy cesspool of lifetime bureaucrats being in control is their idea of how it should be, but far from mine.
Yep. “Silent Coup” is an excellent, well-documented book about it all.
Dean should be in prison.
Gaslighting on full blast.
True, but even conservatives don’t understand that. The entire country as a whole might get a clue if they could recite the words to The Pledge of Allegiance.
There wouldn’t be a “Watergate” scandal if not for this prick trying to steal files about his prostitute girlfriend, Maureen.
These little worms can fan out across the media because the f’n coward collaborating GOP is saying nothing. It’s beyond disgusting.

that was why the “plumbers” we sent to the watergate to clean up his mess. may john dean rot in hell
That sorry bastard still alive?
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible.
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law.

Sure seems possible, with what we now know about the extent these deep staters will go to.
the very last thing any of the UniParty wants is any of this “democracy” or “republic” bee ess....
Correction Democracy_= a jynch mob a Republic is the town Marshall stating for all to hear that he will shoot dead the first person that tries to break into the jail to hurt/kill the prisoner awaiting trial.
Tks for posting that!
I think before anyone can vote they need to pass a test on the Constitution, either written or verbal.
You DON’T have the democracy you BELIEVE you have. For one thing, it’s not yours. You don’t own it or have it. For another, it’s not a crime to call a stolen election stolen, and to take steps within the law to un-steal it. So go to Russia, where elections are a mere formality to keep the dictator du jour in power indefinitely. That’s the democracy that you WANT to believe is your exclusive property, as a member of the elite. But over there you’ll be on the receiving end. It’ll give you a new perspective.
All the worms are coming out of the woodwork.
