John Dean "she didn't just charge him, she threw the book at him"

Dean thinks tfg should be very worried that some of the 18 will likely flip.

Dean's comment on Meadows - "he hasn't learned much from history" - he thinks Meadows will find a way to get out of the GA issue.

Dean also - this is much, much bigger than Watergate - it goes to the very foundations of Democracy.

I wouldn't be willing to go down with his ship. Especially if he somehow found a way out of it for himself!

the indictment references 'unindicted co-conspirators #1 through #30. I'm guessing that a lot of these are folks that got some type of immunity for providing evidence or testifying against the rest of the passengers in their clown car of conspirators.

How they’re singing for their own benefit.

No honor among THESE thieves. I bet they’re busy-busy-busy making some deals, ANY deals, to save themselves. Man the lifeboats!

We've been drifting away from an effective representative democracy for decades. This is a culmination... so far. If we don't make examples of these law breakers, it's sure to get worse.

that he can present irrefutable evidence when there is none. Jus repeat the lie over and over is clearly his modus operandi. Finally he has run out of options.
I can't wait to see if he cancels this crap before Monday.
Maybe he'll finally come out and say what he and his fellow racists actually believe - no non whites are qualified to try him.

for sooooo damn long, because he was rich, because he was influential, OR THE PERCEPTION of the two.

I'm looking at the "Breaking News" caption - "trump Indicted for 13 Crimes in Georgia" and I'm hearing - I think - Gladys Knight - and "Midnight Train to Georgia" in my mind's ear...

"he's been charged...
he's been charged...
he's been charged with 13 crimes in Georgia..." (background singers: "headin' out toward prison now..." )

Hey, why not have fun with it! the donald won't be, but nobody says WE can't! And hell, I think we've put up with his shit long enough that we're entitled to have fun at his expense by now!

John Dean thinks everything Republicans do is worse than Watergate. It's what he titled his book about the W administration.

He should just go the extra step and call the white nationalist Grifting Oligarch Party a crime organization.

just how dangerous they could be with more power. They'd be loyal Nazis in another century and nation. Same types. Just need the kind of leader they long to obey, and in some cases also be.
