We need a John Dean right now:

Possible obstruction of justice.

1. Dean came forward when he realized they were setting him up to take the fall

someone in Trump's circle needs to start feeling that kind of heat.

4. Correct.

That's exactly why he refused to write the report for Nixon. Good call.

7. He was called to testify, he didn't volunteer. We need prosecutor to demand answers.

8. True

but unlike the others, he told the truth.

2. His explanation was that he realized that the cover-up was collapsing

and that the first person to talk would be the first to get out of jail.

The republicans in congress knew Nixon was guilty but they kept lying for him as long as they thought that the cover-up would hold. They didn't start jumping ship until after the truth came out publicly. We're not there yet, but we're heading that way.

3. A Mark Felt would be nice too

maybe a Woodward & Bernstein too

[KingCharlemagne]

9. And a Daniel Ellsberg - nt

5. I hope Dean is updating Conservatives Without Conscience.

6. A great book.

I met Dean when he was in SoCal for his book tour. His talk went overtime, and he let anybody talk with him as long as they wanted. He is a very gracious, and extremely intelligent person. I fell in love with the guy that day.

The fact that Keith Olbermann featured him regularly on Countdown convinced me to witness his book talk first hand.

By the way, Conservatives without Conscience is a great, intelligent book. I recommend it. Even though it was written during Bush II, the authoritarian personality still lives in the GOP.
