Matt Gaetz to John Dean: Let’s face it, you’re here as a prop because Democrats can’t impeach Trump

An enjoyable exchange between one lawyer who was disbarred and another who might be. (But almost certainly won’t be.)
Gaetz is right that Dean is being used here as a prop, a point I made myself earlier. He’s also right about Dean’s “cottage industry†of attacking Republican politicians with a heavy emphasis on Nixon comparisons. He wrote three books during the Bush era, one called “Worse Than Watergate†about Dubya’s presidency, one entitled “Conservatives Without Conscience†about the failed leadership of the Republican coalition, and then the capper, “Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches.†Many cable-news talking heads have defined “niches†but Dean’s is unusually clear and narrow: He’s the ghost of Republican scandals past (as Gaetz almost refers to him here) who pops up from time to time to assure liberals that, whoever the GOP villain du jour happens to be, he’s worse than Nixon.
