John Dean Smacks Down Matt Gaetz At Mueller Report Hearing


Things went very badly for Trump supporter Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) when he tried to smear the credibility and motives of John Dean at the House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Mueller report.

Gaetz tried to claim that Dean has made a cottage industry out of comparing presidents to Nixon. Dean responded that he points out those presidents who act like Nixon.

Rep. Gaetz tried to get snarky and ask Dean how Democrats would pay for Medicare for All. Dean answered that Richard Nixon did have a healthcare plan, and at that moment the air went out of Rep. Gaetz.

Matt Gaetz is one of Trump’s biggest defenders in the House. He along with Rep. Jim Jordan is part of the Republican House cover-up operation for Trump. The problem is that just like Rep. Jordan Matt Gaetz does not appear to be terribly bright. Rep. Gaetz tried to play games with John Dean, and it did not go well.

The entire hearing has consisted of Democrats questioning expert witnesses about the Mueller report and obstruction of justice, while Republicans talk about anything other than the facts of the Mueller report. John Dean is at this hearing to provide insight into presidential obstruction of justice. Matt Gaetz tried to mock Dean, and the former White House counsel responded by making the congressman look like a clown.

1. Oh, John Dean was masterful in his smackdown of Gaetz.

Yes, it was a thing of beauty.

2. Matt Gaetz perfectly defines "arrogant asshole."

Also, "ignorant dilettante", "smarmy know-nothing", and "grandstanding."

I'm almost impressed. That's quite a bit for one young man to accomplish.

3. Matt Gaetz is an idiot.

He is still the dumb kid you remember from your sophomore year in high school.

[rusty quoin]

9. That's right. Another example of that is Brian Kilmeade.

[StevieM]

14. And he wants to be our dictator someday.

The man is a fascist.

[marble falls]

4. I think John Dean allowed himself to be seduced by his proximity to power, but was and is ...

an ethical person.

When asked by a reporter how he had some hot dates, Henry Kissinger replied that power is the best aphrodisiac.

5. Thanks for this posting. He punctured Gaetz's balloon and brought down the house so to speak.

I has missed the continuity in this segment as Northern CA. heatwave made electricity cut on and off.

6. he's the notorious drunk driver right?

(full disclosure that's how my daughter was killed)

he's also a total obnoxious asshat. do the republicans think he landed blows here? because he just came off to me as disrespectful and totally mindless of the subject at hand. Just flinging shit.

7. thats him...

[pangaia]

8. Dean is a better man than I am.

If I were sitting there, I would have gotten out of my chair, climbed over the table and committee railings and chairs, grabbed that asshole by the neck and beaten the living shit out of him. He is just another sick fucker like Louie, Gaetz, Sessions, Jordan, the whole rotten lot of them--traitors, every single one..

And the penalty for being a traitor is.....

[The Wizard]

17. Blindfold and cigarette.

[pangaia]

18. Lololol

Yup

[Ohioboy]

10. Gaetz has no idea how much of a fool he is

What was the health care question all about? Was that supposed to be something clever? A "gotcha" of some sort?

[BigmanPigman]

11. Dean was almost laughing as that jackass

and the jackass is too stupid to even realize what he is up against. He should have hung it up but kept going for a take down that only made him look like the fool and not Dean. Everyone was laughing at Gaetz but he is too big a moron to see that.

[George II]

12. It was a thing of beauty. He also smacked down Goehmert and Jordan, along with any other....

....republican idiot who chose to attack him for what he did back in 1972. But what he did in 1972 he more than made up for in 1973 and 1974.

[lonely bird]

13. Merely proof...

That running for Congress as a Republican requires shitcanning any brain cells you might have. The stupider apparently the better.

[StevieM]

15. Matt Gaetz is in competion with Brian Kemp to be future dictator of America.

Kris Kobach was the previous frontrunner, but the last election appears to have set him back.

All of these men are fascists.

[eleny]

16. Gaetz asked for it when he brought up healthcare

Dean could have hopped on the table and did an end zone knee knock. He deserved a moment.
