John Dean: Hush money case against Trump ‘very powerful’
The Hill ^ | 05/13/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 05/13/2024 9:18:10 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

John Dean, former President Nixon’s White House counsel, said in an interview Saturday that the New York hush money criminal trial against former President Trump is “very powerful” ahead of highly anticipated testimony this week from Trump’s ex-fixer Michael Cohen.

Dean said in a CNN interview that he has read the transcripts from the trial and thinks the prosecution has laid out a compelling case that can stand alone, independent from Cohen’s testimony.

“It’s a very powerful case the government has put on in New York,” he said. “They have really filled in so many of the blanks, and they have built such a structure that Michael Cohen can come in and testify.”

“And he’s largely corroborated already, with either other witnesses … who don’t necessarily have an axe to grind, as well as documents,” Dean continued. “So they have laid a real foundation for this coming week.”

The REAL reason was they had sufficient evidence that Elsberg who worked in advanced nuclear weapon design was going to give it to Russia.
Both the FBI and CIA knew about this.

Dean engineered the Watergate break-in to retrieve documentation that his then girlfriend now wife was a call-girl whore for the DNC.

An Agency guy, always an Agency guy. They pull the string in his back, and he spews whatever the Agency tells him to. Hasn’t worked a day in his rotten ass life.

“CNN is on a nonstop propaganda campaign against Trump, more than ever.”

-0-

“For reaction to the latest developments on former president Trump, we turn to CNN contributor Liz Cheney/Adam Kinzinger/Mitt Romney/George Conway/Chris Christie/Asa Hutchinson/John Dean…”

Take your pick.

If only they were presented on America’s Most Wanted.

Ugly mug shots but Americans could be on the lookout for them.

Traitors.

the libs keep thinking this case is about “hush money” when that is NOT the case.

Paying hush money is not illegal.

This is about how that was categorized on campaign and or tax forms.

I have yet to see a single person testify that Trump wrote the value in under “legal expenses” himself. There is no way, Trump does his own tax returns.

Deep State took down Nixon.

Deep Throat was this guy and the WaPo was just the funnel of info to the public.
NYT and WaPo are still used like this.

William Mark Felt Sr. (August 17, 1913 – December 18, 2008) was an American law enforcement officer who worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 1942 to 1973 and was known for his role in the Watergate scandal. Felt was an FBI special agent who eventually rose to the position of Deputy Director, the Bureau’s second-highest-ranking post.

Guessing he never prosecuted or defended a court in case. Mo was right to ditch him.
