John Dean: I'm honored to be on Trump's enemies list
By Morgan Gstalter - 06/11/19 11:35 AM EDT

Ex-Nixon White House counsel John Dean said he would be “honored” to be considered an enemy of President Trump.

Dean spoke with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday after Trump called Dean a "loser" after Dean likened Trump’s conduct during the Russian investigation to the Watergate scandal during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

“I’m honored to be on his enemies list,” Dean said. “I was able to make Nixon’s at the end, and so I’m pleased that I’m on Trump’s, given my feelings about the threat he is to this country.”

John Dean was also honored to rat out the entire Nixon Administration.  Without his cooperation, the entire investigation would have ended with Gordon Liddy's sentencing.

Saying that every president, especially Republicans, were worse than Nixon, and the scandals were worse than Watergate, does two things for John Dean.

(1) It makes him feel better about himself and his role in Watergate, to which he went to prison for. After all, if everyone's worse, he can't be all that bad, right?

(2) It's a living. He's sold books and gets paid for TV appearances, spouting off on the subject. Since he's been to prison and is disbarred, he has to make a living somehow, enough of one to keep up the country club cocktail circuit lifestyle.

He is a Fraud.

This clown is just happy anyone wanted to talk to him, 40 years after his 15 minutes of fame.

John Dean never spent a day in prison.  He spent four months in a safe house working for Jaworski as a protected witness, testifying against anyone and everyone involved with the Nixon Administration.  There is a special place in hell for people like him.

Faulty memory, I guess.
I thought he went to one of those minimum security places, with the tennis courts, etc...
