from the article -

She said she didn’t know much about Watergate at the time, but Wikipedia quickly educated her about Nixon White House whistleblowers like former Counsel John Dean and Alex Butterfield, the aide who had helped install — and then publicly reveal — Nixon’s taping system.

“It looked like he had a similar role and title to what I had in the White House. So I’m, in driving, sort of trying to read about him,” Hutchinson said.

She quickly ordered two copies of Butterfield’s book, co-authored by journalist Bob Woodward, and had them shipped to her parents’ house, where she devoured them.

“I read it once. Then I read it again, underlined. And then I read it a third time, and I went through and tabbed it,” she said. “He talked about a lot of the same things that I felt like I was experiencing...but he ended up doing the right thing.”

She needs to be interviewed by John Dean.

ETA: Her father seems like a complete asshole.

ETA: Alex Wagner/MSNBC is reporting the Buttefield / Hutchinson connection right now.

1. John Dean was a persistent/serial criminal and he only flipped when he realized that

he was going to be made the fall guy by the handful of people even higher up than himself. The way people lionize him for trying to save his own ass is mind boggling, even more so when people make a comparison to him as if it were a compliment.

2. I did not say he was a hero. Why are you attacking me?

I said Dean needs to interview her because he is actually a regular on CNN thus has a venue.

3. I'm not attacking you. The article itself makes the comparison to Dean (and more so Butterfield).

I was just responding to the article, not your comment upon it. I realize that was not clear.
