'The last time I appeared before your committee was July 11, 1974 during the impeachment inquiry of Richard Nixon,' John Dean says. 'In many ways, the Mueller report is to Pres. Trump what the so-called Watergate road map ... was to Pres. Richard Nixon.'
Former White House counsel John Dean, who played a key role leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, testified on Monday before the House Judiciary Committee about possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.
....No Obstruction. The Dems were devastated - after all this time and money spent , the Mueller Report was a disaster for them. But they want a Redo, or Do Over. They are even bringing in @CNN sleazebag attorney John Dean. Sorry, no Do Overs - Go back to work! And he testified that Nixon did, too. He was one of the first officials in the administration to do so.
Dean has made it onto the president's radar in the past. Trump, reacting to a story that his own White House counsel Don McGahn had talked to special counsel Robert Mueller, said it wasn't true that McGahn was"a John Dean type 'RAT.'" He also spoke of connections to Michael Cohen, the president's personal attorney who pleaded guilty to paying two women for their silence ahead of the 2016 election, among other charges."Lanny knows Watergate pretty well and saw certain parallels between his client’s situation and mine. I was happy to share with Lanny information to refresh his recollection about those times," Dean said in late August, after he was featured in the president's tweet.
