John Dean helped bring down Richard Nixon. He thinks Donald Trump is even worse

I think the only person with decent knowledge of the Nixon scandals who does not think that Trump's actions are as bad is Bob Woodward.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — John Dean is a connoisseur of cover-ups, a savant of scandal, so he can more than imagine what it's like inside the Trump White House right now.

"It's a nightmare," he said, presiding in a high-backed leather wing chair off the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Not just for those in the headlines — political strategist Steve Bannon, jack-of-many-duties Jared Kushner — but for their unsung assistants and secretaries as well.

"They don't know what their jeopardy is. They don't know what they're looking at. They don't know if they're a part of a conspiracy that might unfold. They don't know whether to hire lawyers or not, how they're going to pay for them if they do," Dean said in a crisp law-counsel cadence. "It's an unpleasant place."

Dean was a central figure in Watergate, the 1970s political scandal against which all others are measured, serving at the tender age of 32 as President Richard Nixon's White House attorney. In that capacity Dean worked to thwart investigators after the clumsy break-in at Democratic Party headquarters, then flipped and helped sink Nixon by revealing the president's involvement in the cover-up.
