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, don’t move into my neighborhood. You won’t live to see the next birthday. BLM is alive and wants your thin white skin.
John Dean = Crook
DJT = Patriot Statesman
You decide who to believe.....
WWG1WGA!
Or when Obama bypassed NARA altogether and shipped 30 million pages of docs to a private warehouse in Illinois?
Or when James Comey revealed that he smuggled classified docs out of the FBI to his home and used a conduit to have the info published by the media?
Did we ever hear John Dean opine then? If not, he can kindly STFU!
If John Dean predicts something, rest assured the opposite will take place.
The ancient “has been” with nothing wort reading.
Right? Someone should have put a few holes in him a long time ago.
What does he think about Russia Gate and Hunter Biden. I guess the media and all get a pass from him on that.
John Dean lost all credibility and trust from me when HE WENT BITCH ON PRESIDENT NIXON to cover his own ASS.
I voted for PRESIDENT NIXON TWICE, I would vote for him again if I could.
Anything SCUMBAG DEAN has to sway, he can say to the hand.
John Dean ?? A Jimmy Dean sausage has more integrity than this POS, aka Greg Marmalard!
If the “probe” reveals crimes by Trump, it will be extremely difficult to convince us after all the lies and false evidence they have produced.
Looks like Dean favors more power for the judicial offices and less for the executive.

Looks like his positions tend to favor his own personal perspectives and personal interests.
Nixon had hostile advisors who caused him to resign.
Dean shut up,drop dead and go to hell.🤬
Unfortunately no.🙄
It is a pity that G Gordon Liddy is not here to slap that idiot back into the woodwork.
better than sh## all over yours
