The Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee chaired by Jerry Nadler dragged out Watergate figure John Dean to testify at Monday’s hearing about Mueller’s report.
John Dean was convicted of obstructing justice in the 70’s, but Nadler decided to bring him out to testify on the non-existent charges of obstruction of justice against President Trump.
Makes sense.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) called out CNN hack John Dean for making money (grifting) off of accusing Republican presidents of ‘acting like Richard Nixon.’
John Dean even wrote a book about George W. Bush being worse than President Nixon — Matt Gaetz slammed John Dean for being a DC grifter who makes money off of bashing Republican presidents.
Shortly after Gaetz asked John Dean how much CNN pays him to bash President Trump, Nadler dropped the gavel and interrupted the Republican lawmaker from Florida.
“I think I’m going to object — this is too personal,” Nadler said as he dropped the gavel.
Gaetz didn’t skip a beat and kept ripping into John Dean.
Watch this fiery exchange between Rep. Gaetz and John Dean:
Complete exchange between @Repmattgaetz and @JohnWDean: "Instead of opening the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump…we're here re-opening the impeachment inquiry potentially into Richard Nixon. Sort of playing out our own version of That '70s Show…you're here as a prop." pic.twitter.com/nt14ALnaow

President Trump slammed the Democrats for trotting out Nixon’s former White House counsel John Dean to testify.
‘John Dean is a CNN contributor,’ Trump said in a tweet Monday afternoon.
Can’t believe they are bringing in John Dean, the disgraced Nixon White House Counsel who is a paid CNN contributor. No Collusion – No Obstruction! Democrats just want a do-over which they’ll never get!

Dean is no stranger to Deep State coups like the one attempted against President Trump.
In the 1970’s Dean was a participant in the attempt to remove Richard Nixon from the Presidency. This was all detailed in the book “Silent Coup: The Removal of the President” which discussed Dean’s actions in the coup that led to Nixon’s demise. The authors of this book were on CSPAN in 1991 to talk about their research covered in their book –
…the authors said that White House aide John Dean was responsible for the cover-up of the 1973 Watergate break-in, that General Alexander Haig was attempting to unseat President Nixon, and that General Haig was also “Deep Throat.”
Some other shocking notes from the CSPAN interview about Watergate include:
John Dean Pulled Off a Hoax –
Because John Dean pulled off an incredible hoax. He pulled it off on the Watergate Committee and he pulled it off on the courts and he pulled it off on the American people, and in a sense he erased the election. If you take John Dean out of the story, it doesn’t matter what Woodward and Haig do because it will be a series of leaks that will mean nothing. There’s no Watergate. It will be traditional Washington leaks that may nick the president a little bit, but it’s not going to drive him out of office. It is the John Dean story that is just absolutely the most important story in the book.
