Having watched the Senate hearings on TV as a youngster I will never forget that the first Nixon staffer to testify against him was Dean, an unappetizing, weaselly rat who was hip-deep in the plans to burgle the Dems. Why?
John and Maureen Dean are at the center of Watergate conspiracy theories that sound as if they came from a steamy Washington novel. They filed a lawsuit for defamation after a 1991 book, "Silent Coup: The Removal of a President" suggested that John Dean masterminded the Watergate burglary to obtain documents linking Maureen and her roommate to an alleged prostitution ring.
The sources for the book were G. Gordon Liddy and Phillip Bailley, a lawyer for drug dealers and prostitutes.
Ask people what happened; and no one seems to know the inside story as to why it ever came about. . .
And now, one myth is begetting another. . .a 'hero' who saved his Country from Nixon. . .comes out of anonymity. . .
The barf of it all. . .
