John Dean is still breathing?

He needs to STFU given he has no pertinent information.

Effing John Dean.... he always turns up and acts like the conscience of politics. He is and has always been a mealy-mouthed weasel.

"FUN FACT: President Nixon never fired the Director of the FBI."

Neither Nixon nor anyone else could fire Hoover - he had the goods on every low-down pol in DC.

-- John Dean, weasel extraordinaire. --

The weasels dominate the press.

When Nixon fired Cox, the independent prosecutor, Nixon's AG and Deputy AG resigned in protest. Diametrically opposite the events in Trump's firing of Comey, which was done on the recommendation of Trump's AG and Deputy AG.

Excerpts from Dean's bio on Wiki:

"Dean authored a book heavily critical of the administration of George W. Bush, entitled Worse than Watergate, which called for the impeachment of Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney for allegedly lying to Congress."

"Dean frequently served as a guest on the former MSNBC and Current TV news program, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and The Randi Rhodes Show on Premiere Radio Networks."

"After it became known that George W. Bush authorized NSA wiretaps without warrants, Dean asserted that Bush is "the first President to admit to an impeachable offense".[25] On March 31, 2006, Dean testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee during hearings on censuring the president over the issue. Senator Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), who sponsored the censure resolution, introduced Dean as a "patriot" who put "rule of law above the interests of the president."

If Liddy weren’t so old or a convicted felon. Regardless of which side you’re on, Liddy is no choir boy.

He served his boss Nixon very, very badly.

Then he testified against his own side. Then he went to prison.

Hardly cred for anything, except being an untrustworthy slug.

Back when Liddy had his radio show he related a story about being at the guard shack at a base in a border town one morning when a private waked a long way towards the base from the Mexican side one morning.

Obviously hungover the young kid told of his wild night on the Mexico side of the border. Liddy and his buddy told the kid that the clap was rampant in that town and he probably contracted it and there would be hell to pay with the higher ups.

The scared kid asked for help and they told him to smear his johnson in Vaseline, wrap it in toilet tissue and to keep it that way for a week.

A day later the barracks was called to attention for a drip check and everyone dropped his pants. When the medical officer got to the kid he dropped his jaw with a “what the hell” and Liddy and his buddy nearly burst a spleen holding back their laughter.

John Dean, who turned evidence to help the watergate investigation, because his wife Maureen Dean (a former “stockbroker”, but really a former call girl) was in a photograph call girl catalog taken in the burglary of the Watergate. Evidence that was suppressed. And all this time, this weaselly little a-hole was disloyal to the man who hired him, who, if he had not been completely upended by his idiotic “plumbers” team (who were not needed against McGovern, really) would have made it through this revenge by ultra-leftie/communists. IF they could only get a quote from Woodward and/or Bernstein the ultra-comparison is complete (Trump is Nixon)-— only they can’t. Woodward is quite aware and vocal about the intel abuse on private citizens, and how much worse than watergate what obama/clintoon have done to subvert our republic.

Revenge for Nixon’s longterm fight against communism, to include the darling of the communists— the spy Alger Hiss. Alger Hiss complete complicity and action as a Soviet spy was confirmed from the highly classified secret intercepts known as VENONA. There is no doubt whatsoever of his guilt, and he should have been executed, along with the Rosenbergs, Harry Hopkins on FDR’s staff and a bunch of others on Truman’s staff.

Remember when Ted Kennedy asked Russia to interfer to defeat Reagan?

Kennedy's message was simple.....

He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo.... Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. ....In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election...... "The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,".... the memorandum stated. ...."These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign."

Kennedy's history with the KGB, and the trips Tunney took to Moscow on his behalf, are documented in what are known as 'the Mitrokhin papers' filed with the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.

According to a book by another Nixon White House insider, Geoff Shepard, this would have been nothing like the Saturday night Massacre of Watergate fame - in the book, The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President, Shepard relates that the special prosecutor force which was investigating Nixon had been infested by Kennedy clan insiders, including the lead investigator Archibald Cox - Cox had come to an agreement with Nixon as to how he would gain access to the Nixon tapes and still allow Nixon to have possession of the tapes by having a neutral third party review them and provide summaries of what they covered to Cox - but then Cox, probably at the urging of his staff, changed his mind and held a press conference publicly saying he was insisting on obtaining the tapes to review them specifically on his own - Nixon considered this insubordination and betrayal of an agreement they had made, and ordered him fired by the Attorney General - the rest is history - far from the Comey affair....

Isn’t that the book that argues that the Watergate break-in was Dean trying to recover or remove evidence that his wife was a DNC “on call” call girl? Then everything spiraled out of control.
