...when we already have "admission."

Here's a more relevant quote from John Dean:

After the revelation that George W. Bush authorised NSA wiretaps without warrants, Dean asserted that President Bush is "the first President to admit to an impeachable offense".

As for the rest, it's not just "fearing fear itself" -- it's seeking out fear to fear.

There really are no ducks to get in a row, no unknowns to investigate, and nothing to fear.
