John Dean: Dems Have Little Choice But Impeachment

December 9, 2018 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

Former Nixon White House lawyer John Dean said he thinks Congress will have “little choice” but to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump following a Friday evening court filing involving Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen.

“I think what this totality of today’s filings show that the House is going to have little choice, the way this is going, other than to start impeachment proceedings,” Dean, a CNN contributor, said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

Dean, who served time in prison for his involvement in the Watergate scandal, was discussing a sentencing memo from the Manhattan US attorney’s office, which was the first time prosecutors have said Cohen acted at the direction of Trump when the former fixer made payments to silence women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump prior to his time running for office.
