Dems needle Trump with Watergate witness
By Morgan Chalfant - 06/09/19 02:00 PM EDT

Democrats are ripping a page out of the Watergate playbook as they look to shine a spotlight on the unsavory details about President Trump’s conduct contained in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

The House Judiciary Committee will grill John Dean, who served as White House counsel during Richard Nixon’s administration and was intimately tied up in the Watergate controversy, during a public hearing on Monday.

Dean was intimately involved in the Watergate coverup, and delivered televised testimony before Congress following his ouster that helped contribute to President Richard Nixon’s resignation. Dean also served four months in prison for his role in the coverup.

Needle, hell. Embarrass themselves is what they've done. It's a meaningless & transparent political stunt.

Should have asked that question when they had Cohen, convicted of Perjury, to the House testify.

What is the point of that?

To have the Impeachment issue without having to actually Impeach.

Solomon/baby/split.
