'This is beyond being a demagogue. He is defying the rule of law,' John W. Dean warned on Sunday.
Dean was infamously involved in the cover-up of the Watergate scandal that ultimately led to the resignation of Nixon, a Republican, in 1974. The former White House counsel pleaded guilty to a single felony charge in exchange for becoming a key cooperating witness for the prosecution in that case. He formerly identified as a member of the GOP, but now is an independent.
"And another thing we'll do, and so many people have been asking me about it, if I run [in 2024], and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly," Trump told supporters."We will treat them fairly, and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons," he promised. Other legal experts quickly raised alarms about Trump's remarks as well."I have no doubt Trump is serious about this. He is saying he'll dismantle the legal system retroactively," Laurence Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, tweeted.
I have no doubt Trump is serious about this. He is saying he’ll dismantle the legal system retroactively.
