As the investigations, probes, lawsuits, and overall legal peril rapidly close in all around Donald Trump, one former key Watergate figure is sounding the alarm to Americans on one brutally terrifying prediction we cannot afford to ignore — “There will be violence.”
Yesterday, we saw the first of what will likely be many hearings in a Brooklyn courtroom before Special Master Raymond Dearie, in relation to the Justice Department’s massive investigation into the former president and his decision to steal hundreds of highly-classified government documents from the White House, upon the end of his term, and stash them away at his Palm Beach post-presidency home, where he would go on to lie to the National Archives and Records Administrations about their existence at Mar-a-Lago, that the DOJ was ultimately forced to hand down an official search and seizure warrant to be executed at the estate by the FBI.
Following that hearing, the infamous John Dean — the man who served as President Richard Nixon’s White House counsel during the Watergate scandal and was disbarred following Nixon’s conviction — took to his Twitter account to offer his own analysis of the recent developments in the case. And to say that his predictions are terrifying would be a massive understatement.
“It seems Trump’s lawyers are trying to protect his lie that he declassified all the Mar A Largo documents,” Dean wrote in his analysis Twitter thread. “GOP does not want him to declare until after 11/08 so he needs the lie. He feels (rightly) he won’t be indicted until after the midterms. After the midterms, he will declare!”

“As a POTUS candidate he is not only the center of attention but he can claim any indictment is a political act to keep him out of the Oval Office. Running for POTUS is his best defense from going to jail. Who knows, he might convince one or more jurors! If he wins…. No. He won’t,” the former Watergate figure predicted.
Dean went to foretell a slew of brutal indictments against the scandal-ridden ex-president.
“Trump will be indicted in a RICO action in GA, and federally for Obstruction of Justice (at minimum) for his theft of classified information, plus Seditious Conspiracy and Conspiracy to Defraud (at minimum) for Jan 6th. In short, he should face three criminal cases before 2024,” he opined.
“He believes he can use the dictator’s ploy of mounting riots if the government comes after him, and some of his followers will comply so there will be violence. But law enforcement, the National Guard, and the US military will prevail. And Trump will earn added criminal charges,” the Nixon-era White House counsel went on to theorize. “Trump and GOP enablers are an evil that must be addressed for what it is doing to our nation. The way to deal with it is to stay informed for only fools want what Trump is offering.”
I have a sneaking suspicion that things are about to get very, very serious in this nation.
