Former Nixon White House lawyer John Dean said he thinks Congress will have "little choice" but to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump following a Friday evening court filing involving Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen.
[Snip]
Dean, who served time in prison for his involvement in the Watergate scandal, was discussing a sentencing memo from the Manhattan US attorney's office, which was the first time prosecutors have said Cohen acted at the direction of Trump when the former fixer made payments to silence women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump prior to his time running for office.
Trump has denied the affairs and has not been accused of any crimes related to the payments.

Those poor dumbass Libtards would be well advised to find an impeachable offense before beginning impeachment proceedings ...
John Dean gotta be pushing’ 80. Gotta be related to Howard.
LOL. John Dean on CNN. This aint news it is a fantasy.

There are other fines, but the point has been made. And the Deep State acts like its appropriate to impeach President Trump over a perhaps vaguely campaign related personal payment rather than imposing a fine. What happened to Equal Justice Under Law as an ideal worthy of engraving on the front of the United States Supreme Court building? Democrats disgust me, as do those republicans complicit in the Deep State.
Liberal propaganda stream is assertion Trump committed two felonies.
What are they talking about?
I don’t even know what they’re trying to distort.
why hasn’t Mueller investigation been investigating HRC/DNC/Obama Admin/DOJ/CIA/DNI/NSA/FUSION GPS/STEELE/MIFSUD/RUSSIANS/FIVE EYES/FISA JUDGES/MSM ETC ETC ETC?
it’s so utterly ridiculous, and almost everyone is in on it.
bury the Deep State and the MSM>
Dean is a very conventional person. Hard for him to grasp an iconoclast like Trump.
That's what a lot of Trump hatred is. Hatred of the kind of man that is needed to destroy the existing but failed order of things.
I think is why the Bushes and Tillerson really hate Trump. They were very convention people.
Good. A focus on impeachment means less time for goofy gun control and climate change laws.
I’m curious to find out how they will prove that the “hush money” was a campaign contribution.
Does anybody know which federal statute explicitly defines what a “campaign contribution” is?
Sometimes, the idea of The Purge movies becomes more attractive. The Left should think about the potential consequences of their actions.
And a gang of influential constituents behind Nixon started pushing most favored nation trade status for China. They are not our friends, and they’re not loyal to our country.
Other than ratting on Nixon, what is Dean’s big accomplishment in life?
Anyone who thinks they aren’t going to proceed against the president, to a conviction, hasn’t been paying attention or is stupid. They have their “crime”, they have their accused...and The Law has been and is their plaything. Trump has been unable to stop known CRIMINALS conducting an illegal investigation from investigating HIMSELF. This will fall to the American people or America is over.
Duck you John Fean.
Americans + Pres. Trump
vs.
DNC/GOP/Romney/Soros/Globalists/MI6/MS13
There’s a lot to what you say.
I know some conventional conservatives, the kind who are afraid to be different.
Their dislike for Trump is visceral, but their ability to articulate a reasonable case against him is pathetically weak.
When did John Dean change his first name from Judas?
He is consistent.
What a nice gig if you can get it. Better tell them what they want to hear, eh ?
Totally agree! The idea of the purge looks better every day
