Watergate figure John Dean earns laughter for responses to GOP lawmakers
By Zack Budryk - 06/10/19 05:30 PM EDT

Exchanges between Watergate figure John Dean and House Judiciary Committee Republicans drew laughs several times during his testimony Monday.

In one such instance, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked Dean to explain earlier remarks claiming President Trump was “incapable of accomplishing anything.”


“Mr. Jordan, I think that under the parliamentary rules of the house I'm restrained from addressing a full answer your question,” Dean responded. Told that he was “not restrained in your tweets,” Dean responded that his tweets were “not subject to the parliamentarian.”

I'm strong enough to fight back when attacked.  I didn't call the mod.  I only pinged the one ganging up on me.

The two inch punch is strength.

Anonymous insults over the internet, not strength.
