‘Much Bigger Than Watergate’

Former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean told CNN that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had not just charged Donald Trump with criminally conspiring to overthrow the 2020 election, “she threw the book at him.”

He added that the case “is much bigger than Watergate… it’s of a whole different dimension.”

Said Dean: “It goes to the very foundation of democracy. Nixon abused some powers, he exceeded his authority when he shouldn’t, but he wasn’t taking on the basics of the country, whereas Trump wanted to stay in office, he wanted to use Georgia and abuse Georgia as part of that plan, and so this is very different and much more serious and much more troubling.”
