"We have a cancer within, close to the Presidency"
"We have a cancer within, close to the Presidency, that's growing. It's growing daily. It's compounding, it grows geometrically now because it compounds itself."
That's what John Dean told us. And who would know better than the "go to" guy?
But here's something that might surprise some observers the Presidency. John Dean wasn't talking about the Biden Presidency; he was talking about the Nixon Presidency.
John Dean made his statement on March 21, 1973, when he was White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon. It was when John Dean, soon thereafter, was convicted of obstruction of justice, imprisoned, and disbarred. It was before CNN chose John Dean as their "go to" guy, as their expert, to indoctrinate We the People with a false definition of democracy.
On CNN on August 3, 2023, John Dean preached that, if President Donald J. Trump is not convicted for what took place on January 6, then "we don't have the democracy we believe we have."
In other words, even though the January 6 committee destroyed all the evidence it had collected (including exculpatory evidence), and even though no evidence has yet been introduced at trial, and even though democracy demands that defendants are innocent until proven guilty ... guess what ... John Dean's version of democracy is that democracy will die if a jury of President Donald J. Trump's peers finds him not guilty.
CNN knows better. Even ex-con John Dean knows better. There's a reason why they conspire to preach what they preach, and the reason has nothing to do with truth, justice, and the American way. The reason has nothing to do with democracy. The reason is the same as it was, when John Dean was White House Counsel and was guilty of obstruction of justice. The reason is the same cancer. We the People still are asleep at the wheel, and they know it. They count on it.
May the time soon come when We the People awake, and pay attention to what President George Washington said about politicians on September 19, 1796 in his Farewell Address.
