Watergate lawyer rips Trump for DOJ abuse: ‘This is what an autocrat does’

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Former White House counsel John Dean said even Richard Nixon would tell Trump 'he's going too far' by trying to weaponize the DOJ against his political rivals.

Nixon-era White House counsel John Dean sounded the alarm Tuesday over Trump’s chilling desire to weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against his political enemies.

“This is what an autocrat does,” Dean warned.

Dean, who became a star witness in the Watergate scandal after his time in the White House, made the remarks during an appearance on CNN just hours after The New York Times published a bombshell report about Trump’s attempt to order the DOJ to prosecute Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey.


According to the report, Trump floated the idea to the White House counsel earlier this year — a move that CNN host John Berman referred to as the “definition of Nixonian.”

“If I had to channel a little of Richard Nixon, I think he’d tell this president he’s going too far,” Dean responded. “This is the sort of stuff of a banana republic. This is what an autocrat does.”

I don't remember this whiney twat complaining when Bill Clinton and Obama weaponized the DOJ and the IRS...….

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Trump didn't abuse power.
Obama ILLEGALLY used the NSA, IRS, DOJ and the FBI as political weapons just like some sort of tinpot third world banana republic dictator.

 

[Staidhup]

What Obama, DOJ, FBI, and DNC pulled off makes Nixon's games look like child's play.

The seat hasn’t been filled and Whitaker isn’t going to get the job.

Republicans are done brown nosing for Trump’s toxic approval. Those who hope to have jobs after the 2020 elections are already turning on Trump.
