Former Nixon counsel says Trump’s media supporters will have ‘egg all over their face’ when probe ends

John Dean, former President Richard Nixon’s White House counsel, predicted on Sunday that media supporters of former President Trump will have a “egg all over their face” when the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into matters involving classified documents comes to an eventual end.

During an appearance on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” host Brian Stelter asked Dean for his thoughts on the conservative media’s response to the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in which many right-leaning voices have lobbed attacks on law enforcement and claimed the probe is politically motivated.

Some TV cable news hosts such as Fox News’ Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity have gone so far to say “they have declared war on us and now it’s game on” and that the search was a “clear and gross abuse of power.”

When asked to respond to an array of news clips over the past week, Dean said: “Well, I think that they don’t seem to want to appreciate that the FBI and other federal law enforcement as well as state and local, they enforce search warrants every day, against every kind of person.”

“And there’s a reason Trump provoked this. He’s the one who didn’t cooperate. He’s the one who forced [Attorney General] Merrick Garland’s hand. We don’t know what it is he has or had.”

“Garland isn’t a risk taker, he isn’t a guy whose bold and goes where no one else has ever gone. He’s somebody who does it by the book so I think these people are going to have egg all over their face when this is over,” Dean added. “While they may not ever admit it, there, there certainly should.”  .  .  .

John Dean is a despicable human being.  There is a special place in hell carved out just for him.  He is by far the worst character to play a role in the Watergate fiasco, and he did not spend a day in jail over it.  He should be laying low for the rest of his life instead of offering comments about Trump.  May he rot in hell for eternity.

More bullshit.

Nearly half a century later, Dean is still a little worm.

From the little turd who was the dictionary definition of weasel political traitor.

Surprised he is still alive.

"Worse than Watergate" John Dean is still alive?  who knew

Watergate rules no longer apply.  They were replaced by the Clintons' White Water rules.

Plus, eggs are too expensive to waste.

Too bad G. Gordon Liddy didn't take care of him when he had the chance.

Who dug up Dean, and how would he have any idea what is happening on the inside of this witch hunt, more to the point who cares other than some slimeocrats?

Dean speaks

As Nixon's legal counsel, he advised Nixon to do things that were illegal at the same time he was working for the Watergate prosecutors as an informant.  Violating attorney-client privilege is bad enough.  But what he did was far worse.

Chuck Colson did seven months in federal prison for doing the exact same thing James Carville did in the Paula Jones suit - defaming the character of a witness.  John Dean orchestrated the entire coverup for months, yet he has yet to serve a single day in federal prison.

I'm pretty sure that it was his wife's little black book that the folks who broke into Democrat Headquarters were looking for!
