It doesn't say so in your link re John Dean but does "plea bargain" or "plea agreement" say anything to you?
Also, anyone who works for any politico in DC (or home office) is supposed to, when the time calls for it, "fall on the sword" as G. Gordon Liddy did. ("Mea culpa, mea culpa maxima.) Otherwise, you never get hired by any other politico in DC. The politicos in DC expect absolute loyalty from ALL their staffers.
The most recent example of falling on the sword is Gary Condidit's chief of staff Mike Lynch. Yeah, right, it was Lynch's own doing to call the attorney in San Mateo Co. and have the attorney's PI write up an affidavit for Anne Marie Smith to sign. But... that's another thread. NEVER FORGET
While we seem to disagree on the degree that Johnny Chung should be held out to be a hero, don't we all agree here that he was part of an overall criminal conspiracy known as the Clinton administration? Maybe not an offical one like with Watergate, but certainly in a polical sense.

Didn't Chung get a lighter sentence (probation) in exchange for testifying and working with the prosecutors? Whats the pratical difference between mercy via actions or mercy via a plea bargin?
I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for the so-called compassion of a liberal. They're making him pay for telling the truth.
I'm PO'd at Johnny's POs.
