On Monday, John Dean, the former Nixon White House counsel, testified at the Judiciary Committee Hearing called "Lessons From The Mueller Report. Dean has no connection to the Mueller investigation but is a CNN contributor who has written a number of anti-Republican books in recent years and testified during the Watergate hearings. In other words, Deans purpose for testifying at the hearing had nothing to do with facts. Hes just the expert on the disgraced President Richard Nixon, who resigned from the presidency for his involvement in the Watergate cover-up.
There was a memorable exchange between Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Mr. Dean during the hearing. When Gaetz spoke, he entered into the record a December 2005 essay by John Dean, titled George W. Bush as the New Richard M. Nixon: Both Wiretapped Illegally, and Impeachably." Gaetz then asked Mr. Dean, How many American presidents have you accused of being Richard Nixon? It was a humorous moment, and Dean responded that he had actually written a book called Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush.
Gaetz then proceeded to ask Mr. Dean how much money hes made off accusing presidents of being Richard Nixon, in rebutting an objection to that line of questioning. How much money do you make from CNN? Gaetz asked. A flustered Dean was unable to provide an answer, but Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler came to his rescue, banging the gavel and objecting to Gaetz line of questioning. But Gaetz insisted on making his point. Wait a second, Mr. Dean has made a cottage industry out of accusing presidents of acting like Richard Nixon. I would like to know how much money he makes based on making these accusations and exploiting them for his own...

Guess John “Dementia” Dean doesn’t remember much of anything he doesn’t want to.
He makes Benedict Arnold sound like an American hero instead of a traitor.
Bookmarked.
My wife and I had planned a few days of vacation in Galveston. The dreaded “climate change” occurred and Galveston was hit with monsoon rains.
We spent a lot of time in the hotel room, reading books and watching the live coverage of the Watergate Hearings.
John Dean really stuck out as being nothing but a slimy POS.
Nadler......”We can’t have any truth coming out in these hearings!”......./sarc
Wow! Thanks for posting that!
BOL..........
The success of the Dean testimony as provide Nadler with his next step.
According to sources close to the Judiciary Committee, Nadler will hold a special session of the Judiciary Committee for a viewing of the movie “All the President’s Men”.
It is possible that actors Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman will appear before the committee to provide further insight into the Mueller report.
My first job was at a local ice cream shoppe. The owner watched the hearings, swearing the whole time He felt the same way. I’ll never forget!
“I used to listen to G Gordon Liddy a lot. I even ordered a stacked and packed calendar one year. It was great. Funniest story he ever told was about the breakin and the guys and his capture. I miss his show. Dean is a nitwit.”
I saw Liddy debate Timothy Leary many years ago. It was rather enjoyable.
You’re welcome.
Jim Jordan was also very good.
There were lawsuits over that book and the authors and G Gordon Liddy lost.
