MSNBC Countdown’s Keith Olbermann interviews former Nixon White House Council John Dean. Dean is scheduled to testify<\/a> at a Friday hearing on Feingold’s Censure Resolution.<\/p>\n

As Nixon’s White House Council during Watergate, Dean testified before the Senate committee that eventually lead to Nixon’s resignation. John Dean has compared President Bush to Nixon and says that Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program is illegal.<\/p>\n

The Friday hearing will be held by Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Arlen Specter’s who strongly opposes the censure resolution. Specter withheld the names of other witness scheduled to testify.<\/p>\n

In this interview, Dean says:<\/p>\n

The Senator’s Censure Resolution raises issues that I think need to be addressed. If some of the other legislation on the National Security wiretaps do not pass then something like [censure] is necessary or the Senate and Congress are going to waive any right to complain about [the illegal wiretapping]. <\/p>\n

… if the Congress doesn’t stand up and say something about what the Presidents is doing — in essence we have, down in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, lawyers who are taking the most aggressive reading of any part of the law that they can to enhance execute power. And I think it’s past time for Congress really to stand up and do something about it.<\/p><\/div>\n

John Dean also comments on the White House Chief of Staff change and how Jack Abramoff is a threat to the Bush Administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
