He pleaded guilty to a single felony count, in exchange for becoming a key witness for the prosecution. This ultimately resulted in a reduced prison sentence, which he served at Fort Holabird outside Baltimore, Maryland.Dean is currently an author, columnist, and commentator on contemporary politics, strongly critical of conservatism and the Republican Party, and is a registered Independent who supported the efforts to impeach President George W. Bush.

Quote
1
[from testimony at the Watergate hearings] I began by telling the President that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and if the cancer was not removed, the president himself would be killed by it.
2
[on whether Watergate has permanently poisoned public faith in the presidency] People label things like signing statements as 'Nixonion'. Well, Nixon didn't issue that many signing statements and they weren't particularly provocative. The short answer is, I don't think it has damaged the presidency, but it has left a watermark and I think it will be a long time before it is breached.
