Nixon White House attorney John Dean says Devin Nunes should be jailed for betraying national security
John Dean was an associate deputy Attorney General and White House counsel before pleading guilty to obstruction of justice. Dean ended up serving four months in federal detention and was disbarred as an attorney.
Nunes co-conspirator on the Hill is his staffer Kashyap Patel, Dean charged.
Patel is the lead Nunes staffer behind the memo. Patel was issued a rare order of ineptitude from a federal judge in 2016.
They both belong in jail for betraying national security with their scam, he continued.
Deans conclusion that prison is necessary for the Nunes memo is notable because of Deans role crafting a similar memo.
On Friday, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks explained the parallels to MSNBCs Chris Hayes.

(17,984 posts)The lawyer, Kashyap Patel, had arrived in court after flying to Houston from Tajikstan. What is your role in this? Hughes asked when Patel entered the courtroom. Patel responded that he was a member of the trial team.
Youre not a member of the trial team, Hughes said. Its been going on for a month or so and you havent been here, have you?
Hughes wasnt finished. And where is your tie? Where is your suit? he asked. Patel explained that he just flew in from overseas and he didnt wear a suit on the plane.
Hughes then demanded that Patel get his passport, apparently for verification of his trip. If you want to be a lawyer, dress like a lawyer, Hughes said.
