As a reminder, John Dean was actually the mastermind of the Watergate break-in. Let's put aside the fact that his appearance for the Nadler committee became the joke it is.
It was Dean, along with an OK from Erlichman, Halderman, Colson, et al., who wanted to break-in the Democrat headquarters. The info and files they sought was allegedly very damaging to the Nixon Administration and to Dean himself. Dean's wife was a DC pass around who liked older Southern congressman and Senators and the Democrats had a file on her.
It is out there on the Internet of recordings of Dean saying that he hired G. Gordon Liddy to lead the Watergate break-in. Dean said it was Liddy who years ago broke in Daniel Ellsburg's office and they needed someone who knows about such things.
