Former Nixon counsel says Trump’s media supporters will have ‘egg all over their face’ when probe ends

John Dean, former President Richard Nixon’s White House counsel, predicted on Sunday that media supporters of former President Trump will have a “egg all over their face” when the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into matters involving classified documents comes to an eventual end.

During an appearance on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” host Brian Stelter asked Dean for his thoughts on the conservative media’s response to the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in which many right-leaning voices have lobbed attacks on law enforcement and claimed the probe is politically motivated.

Some TV cable news hosts such as Fox News’ Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity have gone so far to say “they have declared war on us and now it’s game on” and that the search was a “clear and gross abuse of power.”

When asked to respond to an array of news clips over the past week, Dean said: “Well, I think that they don’t seem to want to appreciate that the FBI and other federal law enforcement as well as state and local, they enforce search warrants every day, against every kind of person.”

“And there’s a reason Trump provoked this. He’s the one who didn’t cooperate. He’s the one who forced [Attorney General] Merrick Garland’s hand. We don’t know what it is he has or had.” 

“Garland isn’t a risk taker, he isn’t a guy whose bold and goes where no one else has ever gone. He’s somebody who does it by the book so I think these people are going to have egg all over their face when this is over,” Dean added. “While they may not ever admit it, there, there certainly should.”

Dean is famously known for his role in initially covering up the Watergate scandal but later cooperated with federal prosectors

Dean was disbarred when he pled guilty to obstruction of justice. He can only play a lawyer on TV now.

It’s boring seeing these people roll out the same old and tired clowns.

Guys like Dean, Woodward and Bernstein are frauds but the Left holds them up as the go-to people for their agenda.

So, Dean is nothing more than a rat

The other two were spoon fed a story and are somehow held up as some
Journalistic giants.

Great point. He keeps wiping the egg off his face but more egg hits him smack in the face. He’s really a vile creature.

FBI and other federal law enforcement as well as state and local, they enforce search warrants every day, against every kind of person……

Yes, that is a normal part of an investigation when one is involved in criminal activity.

I do not think that applies in this case.

The anti Trump media is dragging all of these low life people out of the gutter to trash President Trump. John Dean has zero credibility in my book.

John Dean has only one thing on his mind, and that is “What can i do for John Dean?”

He was always worthless, is worthless, and will always be worthless. And i am being kind.

As painful as it would be, wouldn’t you love to be at one of their dinner parties and listen to their conversations? Just to see how they really talk. What they really say.

The Media / Dem / Uniparty hacks breathlessly said the same thing during the entirety of the fraudulent Mueller investigation. Same for the Jan. 6 kangaroo court. Many more examples. And every single time, Trump was and continues to be vindicated. It’ll be the same here. Except that this time they went way too far, and the backlash will be severe.
