Quote:John Dean flipped, is he a hero?
John Dean did not flip, he was the worst hire in the history of the Nixon White House because in the midst of the Halderman/Erlichman, Mitchell et al sycophants, he was an honest man. What would it be like to tell the occupant of the office that there was a cancer growing on the Presidency?
If Dean had said it to you, would that have gotten your attention? It did mine.
Felt did not flip, he got out the information that saved the Republic. Is that overstating the case? I don't think so.
Both men had taken an oath, but it was not one of allegiance to the President, it was an oath to uphold the Constitution.
To compare either man and their actions and motives to the pathetic idealogue Linda Tripp is a disgraceful slur against those two loyal Americans. Uphold the Constitution? She was not trying to uphold anything, not even her sham friendship with Monica. She and the rest of the right wing of the Republican Party were, and are, intent on ruling this country and were, and are, willing to do whatever it takes to acquire power.
Please don't waste any bandwidth denying it.
