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

It’s very clear that any Nixon people still alive are NeverTrumpers so who givers a shiite what this ash hole has to say? They probably bribed him with an extra fruit cup at the home to attack Trump.

Yes, the authors left his name out of the headline for a reason: They know nobody is interested in in hearing anything John Dean has to say.

Dean sold his soul to the deep state in order to skate on Watergate. He is their tool until he or they go away.

’... when probe ends...’

THAT’S when all the faux infomation and ‘planted’ information is organized and once everyone is on the same page.

They don’t want any of the gov’t players to contradict one another

Ask 10 people, and I would be surprised if any of them know this truth.
