I lived through it and was a Watergate junkie. If they could have gotten away with their corruption, Nixon would have finished his term. When I tell people this, many of them look at me like I am nuts. They did not suddenly "see the light!"

I read Dean's book and watched his testimony faithfully. I think he worked with lawyers to save his own butt and not to sound self-serving. He did some jail time. He is a better man because he had a trial by fire. He learned to be a better man because he was forced to look at himself and answer for his crimes. Maybe that will happen for Cohen. We will see.
