You’re confusing John Dean with Howard Dean. John Dean never held elective office.
John Dean is a convicted Felon. John Dean is a disbarred lawyer. John dean was convicted of a felony based on his professional work that he was engaged in as a lawyer.
I can’t think of anyone I’d be less likely to consult for legal advice than a lawyer who did such a horrible job that he was not only disbarred for his lawyering, but convicted of a felony.
It’s sick that places like MS-NBC have him on to analyze things without mentioning any of this.
