Oh, the irony.
Senate Democrats will bring in convicted felon and disbarred lawyer, John Dean – who became famous for ratting out President Richard Nixon – supposedly to discredit Brett Kavanaugh.
Per the Washington Free Beacon:
Senate Democrats will bring Dean, who served prison time for obstruction of justice, in front of the Judiciary Committee on Friday afternoon to “speak about the abuse of executive power,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the committee’s top Democrat.
Dean became a central figure in the Watergate affair after he approached prosecutors hoping for immunity for the criminal acts he said he committed as Nixon’s White House counsel, an act that to this day has him being referred to as a “rat.” He wound up giving highly watched public testimony that implicated the top figures in the scandal, allowing for him, despite the key role he played in the wrongdoing, to have his sentence reduced to next to nothing.
The cooperation also allowed to emerge from the scandal viewed by the public in a positive light, despite the fact that he lost all respect from the legal community.
In February 1974, Dean was disbarred in Virginia for his “unethical, unprofessional, and unwarranted conduct in the Watergate affair,” the New York Times reported.
After being forced out of his profession, Dean took up a new pastime: bashing Republicans.
