Wasn’t John Dean concerned that his girlfriend was working as a prostitute for the DNC?

Here is an excerpt from a letter by attorney John Williams to John Dean who threatened to sue Phil Stanford for material presented in the excellent 2013 book White House Callgirl

“Finally, there exists a discernible trail of financial transactions that is highly suggestive of a contemporaneous (1972 and 1973) relationship between and Louis Russell, the associate of Watergate burglar James McCord and patron of the Columbia Plaza call girl ring who has been characterized as “the sixth man” present for the break-in at the DNC on the night of June 16, 1972. Mr. Russell was penurious, and his bank records reveal account balances that never exceeded more than a few hundred dollars. On November 15, 1972 he deposited $4,570.00 in his account shortly after you withdrew $4,850 from a White House safe. At the time, you told Senate investigators you had used the funds for your honeymoon with Mrs. Dea but when deposed in Dean v. St Martins, you will recall that you could not account for many of these funds.
Subsequently, in March 1973, Mr. Russell deposited another $20,895.00 in close proximity to the time when you were alleged to have taken another $22,000 from the White House funds. Former White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman reported in his book The Ends of Power (1978) that he attempted to trace this money and ultimately concluded that you had taken it. While you have in the past sough to dismiss any assertion of a connection between you and Mr. Russell, the evidence arrayed herein can only add to the lingering suspicions harbored by generations of researchers about your, and Mrs. Dean’s true roles in the Watergate affair.”
Dean was definitely being blackmailed by Howard Hunt and Lou Russell, a former HUAC investigator who was fired for trying to extort a “loan” from actor Edward G. Robinson. Curiously, Hunt’s wife Dorothy was killed in a Chicago plane crash in December 1972 after many payments orchestrated by Dean, and Lou Russell would die a few weeks after Dean’s June 1973 testimony.
