Nixon's Watergate lawyer says Trump's 2024 bid is 'a defense of sorts' against Jan 6 indictment but it won't matter because the committee has an 'overwhelming case'

John Dean, White House counsel for former President Richard Nixon, said he expects charges to be brought against former President Donald Trump this week because of the "overwhelming case" made by the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

According to Politico, the January 6 committee will decide through a vote Monday on whether to recommend charges against former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice and is poised to pursue that he be charged with insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the US government.

The committee is also expected to release a report on Wednesday, Insider previously reported.

On Sunday, Dean, who is a CNN contributor, told CNN host Fredricka Whitfield that Monday will be a "historic day" because of the vote. He argues that the panel has a case to bring to the DOJ and that he would be surprised if no charges were filed given that the department has hired a special prosecutor.

Dean wasn’t Nikon’s “Watergate lawyer”. He was a witness against Nixon.

John Dean should’ve been locked in a room with G. Gordon Liddy for an hour back in the 1970s.

It is a pity that G Gordon Liddy is not around to hand John Dean his ass back, again.

John Dean belongs in prison.

How is it he pretends to know the evidence against Trump?

BS - the only real insurrection was the Democrat led one in the summer of love 2020.

I still demand to see heads roll for that.

This is political persecution and Nancy Pelosi continuing to rip up the constitution like she did Trumps speech to assuage her own party power.

“Dean was Nixon’s White House counsel on June 17, 1972, the night burglars broke into Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. He had no prior knowledge of the break-in or the White House’s involvement. Yet over the next several months, Dean became, as he put it, the ‘desk officer’ for the Watergate cover-up.”

John Dean is a convicted felon, liar, traitor, disbarred attorney and a backstabbing turncoat. Him and Cohen of are the same cloth.

Trump should have never taken McCarthy’s advice to boycott the committee.

Yes the membership was rigged but so what, McCarthy says he’s going to do that now with Swalwell as if that somehow makes it even, which is ridiculous.

So nothing in Trump’s defense was ever, presented, at all. Not in Congress, not on TV, nothing. It was essentially pleading “No Contest” and throwing himself at the mercy of crooked court. Of course this was going to happen, and McCarthy knew it.

How does a civilian have access to the “evidence” of a Congressional Committee to even make this comment?
