On July 5th, 2020 Henry P. Wickham, Jr. published this piece, Watergate and the Corruption of the DC Judiciary, filled with interesting insights from two books, Geoff Shepard's book, The Real Watergate Scandal and the just published book by Garrett Graff, Watergate, a New History. I've decided to break this piece down into sections, and this first section isn't first in this piece, but its really high on my list for contemptuous people. John Dean.
He goes on to say:
Both books portray John Dean as a self-serving weasel, who testified only after saving his own skin. In his role as legal counsel to the President, he coordinated efforts to obstruct the FBI and grand jury investigations, concealed and destroyed evidence, helped prep witnesses for their perjured testimony. As events became more dire, it was Dean who was the first to seek immunity for his testimony against his colleagues. Despite his many crimes, Dean skated, and he never served a day of prison time. John Dean was "Guilty as hell, free as a bird," as domestic terrorist Bill Ayers once put it.
Dean's account of his experiences in Watergate were set out in his book, Blind Ambition. However, in a later civil case he disavowed much of his own book and claimed that much of it was the invention of a ghost writer. Why Graff cites this book as authority in his footnotes is beyond me. Yet Dean sold the book as its author and no doubt kept his share of the sale proceeds, which is consistent with Dean's character as portrayed in these books. Dean has since appeared occasionally as a commentator on MSNBC or CNN, which are the lower circles of hell where he richly deserves to be.
John Dean: Hutchinson Testimony Showed Trump’s ‘Criminality’ – Grand Jury Next, which is bogus as the Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President and he can fire them for any reason he pleases. More fog to cloud the corruption of the January 6th Commission. Perfect fit for Dean. Apparently he thinks talking too much deserves to be prosecuted, much like Pelosi thought it deserved impeachment.
John Dean: Republican Party Has Decided it’s ‘OK to Be Openly Authoritarian’. Let's face it, the Republican party has never been as dangerous or authoritarian than the Democrats and became less so when Dean left.
John Dean has no shame, and apparently Dean doesn't believe his lies, as the author says:
Dean's account of his experiences in Watergate were set out in his book, Blind Ambition. However, in a later civil case he disavowed much of his own book and claimed that much of it was the invention of a ghost writer. Why Graff cites this book as authority in his footnotes is beyond me. Yet Dean sold the book as its author and no doubt kept his share of the sale proceeds, which is consistent with Dean's character as portrayed in these books.
Is there anyone who can believe anything he says? Is there anyone who thinks he's credible in anything he says ore does? Yes, the main stream media. Perfect fit! Dean has always been a weaselly little snake, and here was Sean Spicer's take on Dean during the bogus Mueller probe, where the main stream media, the propaganda wing of the Democrat party trotted Dean out.
“I find it interesting that your lead witness is a convicted felon, part of the cover-up at Watergate, disbarred from ever serving as a lawyer again and serving four months in prison. That’s the person that you lead with?
John Dean is a snake, and a viperous one at that, and he's not changed in these last 50 years. But he's not alone. We have John Kasich, Liz Chaney, George Will, Adam Kinzinger, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, and more, so he's not breathing the stench of the leftist Outhouse of Mendacity all by himself. And my favorite snake, Mitt Romney
