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

John Dean once testified that his written statements in his own book were not his and he did not write them. The guy is a world-class liar.
Just my opinion, but here’s one possible reason the FBI waited several days to execute the warrant after getting it signed. Is it possible that they used that time to clue in all their media toadies so everyone could get their stories lined up?
John Dean is the guy married to the hooker they broke into the DNC HQ to steal the pictures that proved it.
That's why they put "former Nixon counsel" instead of "John Dean" in the title.
If you look under the lowest scumbag parasite known to man you will find John Dean being a parasite on it.
Not many know that!
The man who had them raid Watergate to keep his wife’s name from being outed as a prostitute. Go away John Dean! Your opinion means nothing!
Dean has not never told the truth in his life. He could not tell the truth if his life depended on it.
He’s appearing on Brian Stelter’s show to say *other* media personalities are going to have egg on their faces.
john dean was a total piece of shite then and he’s a total piece of shite now ...
You didn’t know that. Dean’s wife was a call girl for the DNC. She left her adress book at the hotel that happened to be named the Watergate. I thought everybody knew that.

He should be best known for his role in the Silent Coup.
WHEN will this POS tip over?
The clock is ticking.
Me too!
That’s encouraging to hear. Thanks.
Yeah sure we are.
I mean we’ve been eating omelets since the Russia Hoax.(Sarcasm)
The history of ‘getting Trump’ is his enemies are the ones with egg on face.
This time will be no different.
If that guy had any brains he’d stay quiet and not remind everyone what an idiot he’s always been.
Fu*K john Dean, he should have been dead years ago.
He is all of the traitors wrapped into a taco.
I wish monkey pox on that sniveling bastard.
