If you don't, some don't, in many ways John Dean broke the Watergate scandal and he did go to jail.
He exposed many of the inside going on during the time up to Watergate hearings. He was
a key part of the hearings, and I watched almost all of it. He was partly responsible for getting
Nixon to resign....
Ok, You don't like Michael Cohen? That is ok. That is up to you. But Michael Cohen
is partially responsible for exposing Trump's lies, that led to others doing the exact same thing.

...Cohen was/is the leader of the pack, and for that we should all be grateful, He served
his time, told the truth, and has helped give the world information we might not have gotten..
I believe that he deserves the same admiration as John Dean. Cohen could have stayed
......"shut up" served his time and so on...Will Eric Trump tell the truth? I don't think so.
.....But Cohen told the truth, and that we should all be grateful for.....

(115,584 posts)since the '70s. Even those who are a lot younger than that would know who he is because he's been on TV regularly for years, most recently to rant about the awfulness of TFG. I think there are some parallels between Dean and Cohen, although Dean recognized the shit he was in a lot sooner than Cohen, who didn't flip until he was prosecuted. Dean was cooperating with investigators while still working for Nixon (once he figured out he was likely to be made a scapegoat), and spilled the beans during the Watergate hearings after Nixon fired him. Trump fired Cohen only after investigators seized his files, and he didn't start cooperating until after that.

(30,977 posts)And I remember John Dean very well. His voice sounds exactly the same as it did when he testified in front of that committee. He said early in trumps term that Donald would be undone by his lies. It didnt happen fast enough but thats whats happening
