The House Judiciary Committees lead witness in its Mueller Report hearings this week will be someone who has nothing to do with Donald Trump, nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do with Muellers investigation, and who throughout his career could be trusted on virtually nothing.
Some have compared Democrats squiring in Richard Nixons disgraced White House counsel and Watergate conspirator John Dean, in their first step on a road they hope will lead to Trumps impeachment, to bringing in Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Its really more like Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, the stars who played the Washington Post reporters in the movie of their book All the Presidents Men.
The stunt is a cinematic opportunity to let the establishment media do what theyve been pining to do for over two years now: juxtapose video of Deans blockbuster testimony to the Watergate committee with the various goings on today and hope the public conflates Nixon and the current White House occupant.
Back in 1973, Americans were stunned hearing Dean tell of a cancer growing on the presidency, a major turning point in a probe that would ultimately force the resignation of the 37th President. The fallout gave Democrats 49 new seats and a massive majority of over two thirds in the House of Representatives, and 60 seats, thanks to four gains, in the U.S. Senate in the 1974 midterms. Today, some Democrats think Dean can make the first splash in a similar tidal wave.

“... rumor many, many years ago that Mo ...”
Isn’t it in one “G-man” G. Gordon Liddy’s books?
But alas...I have no confidence in House republicans to do this.
Next up, the Rats will try to find a living Relative of Goebbels to testify.
One thing the Communists have done (and continue to do) is destroy respect for the Office of the President. If the American people are so stupid as to allow a Communist into the Oval Office, that person will be derided and maligned. Not by the Communist media. Not by the spineless Republicrats. We the people will do the job.
Turnabout is fair play.
Nixon was my second CIC
Mine too!
Yes, see the book “Silent Coup” by Len Colodny.
“...Watergate, so it might as well be Teapot Dome for all they know.” Neither of which most Americans know anything about.
We must “fully fund” public education! /S
We heard the same rumor - and it went to her (ahem) “occupation” at the time, and also that John Dean married her for legal reasons.
Something about marriage and testimony, was she needing protection, or was Dean? Someone should sleuth that out.
"Is it true that you concocted the Watergate break in to conceal your wife's involvement in soliciting?"
"Is it true that you lied to Nixon about the motives for the break in?"
"is it true that you framed others to protect yourself?"
So the dems are bringing in a servile, untrustworthy, sock puppet in from a era long ago that no one cares about? Wow. Stunning and brave.
Nixon was framed.
One of the reasons I disliked Ford. He should have honored our commitment to South Vietnam. Then let the chips fall where they may.
If you want to get real angry talk to some South Vietnamese bomber pilots who were given just enough fuel to make it to the target. The North Vietnamese would learn the flight plans and move their camp 5 miles. A pilot told me he could see the target but knew he’d probably crash before he could make it back to base. Then he said they ran out of fuel all together and all but absolutely necessary flight ops were cancelled. Guess they saved enough for helicopters to make it to ships off shore.
You’re giving Ford a bad rap!
Congress cut off all the support to South Vietnam.
And Congress then was controlled by what party?
The Rats ! — both houses!
The GOP should ask him if watergate would have been worse if instead of Nixons campaign it was the FBI, DOJ and CIA who broke into the watergate and bugged the Dems.
The break-in at Watergate was to retrieve files on John Deans future wife who was listed among prostitutes used by the DNC to entertain bigwigs.
Nixon had no knowledge of the break-in.
John Dean sent the plumbers in to cover for his future wife.
“Silent Coup” by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin
Ridiculous.....This had to be Hillary’s idea.
If the American people are so stupid as to allow a Communist into the Oval Office,

That’s already happened.
The kicker is he wasn’t even eligible.
