John Dean, a White House counsel to former President Richard Nixon, used just two words to describe the raft of unsuccessful appeals that former President Donald Trump has filed in his futile attempts to delay the start of his criminal hush money trial.
“I think these appeals now, everybody knows, are frivolous, they’re desperate,” Dean told CNN’s Boris Sanchez on Wednesday.
The four-time-indicted presumptive GOP presidential nominee “doesn’t want this case to go on before he has to face the voters,” Dean added. “And it is not going to help his campaign contrary to any thoughts that he pretends that these are helpful.”
Trump’s legal team earlier Wednesday lost a third attempt — in only the last week — to delay the start of the trial.
Jury selection is scheduled to commence on Monday, and Dean argued it would be “extraordinary” if it didn’t begin as planned.

I just recall that Dean was a young lawyer desperately trying to plead his way out of prison time.
I’m 70. My situation at the time allowed me to watch the whole thing on television. I learned a lot.
I’ll bet he’s got a book coming out.
Frivolous and desperate? Isn’t an appeal standard if you believe you’re right? Did he appeal?
Recently tried to read an article about POTS and its effect on young people. Eight paragraphs into the article and the term POTS still hadn’t been defined. My junior high school English teacher would have failed me for turning in a paper with such an egregious error.
Pass the popcorn.
John Dean back then was the Bill Barr of today.
His wife was a prostitute which was the reason for the break in at the Watergate hotel. To get the evidence that the democrats found.
They drag this guy up from the dead.
The way I heard the story, the reason the “plumbers” broke in was so John Dean could retrieve salacious files on his hooker girlfriend (later wife).
And now he’s all sanctimonious as if he were above reproach.
Yes.
Nope, G. Gordon always said on his radio show he want dean all to himself for 5 minutes..
I am 68 and remember all of the hearings.
its where i learned to hate the media
Hey Dean, you’re one stupid kook. Any one of these out of control phony trials will only boost Trump support massively, and make your precious democrat party look like the Stalinist monsters they are.
Me too.
It may have been him behind it true— but Kolodny does not make that connection. John Dean is a slimey lying worm of a non-person. Dishonest throughout, he, his “wife” and any spawn they created.
