Five years ago, John Dean filed suit against me (Len Colodny), Robert Gettlin (my co-author), the publishers of "Silent Coup" and G. Gordon Liddy for 150 million dollars. The documentation produced and the witnesses deposed, especially over the past two years, have created a MOUNTAIN of evidence in support of "Silent Coup's" claim of Dean's prebreak-in involvement in the planning and execution of the "Watergate" wiretapping and burglary.

In my opinion, it has become clear to Dean during the past nine months that he has little chance of winning the lawsuit on the issues. More IMPORTANTLY, my attorneys, prior to Christmas, filed a "SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION" requesting a dismissal of this lawsuit by the Court.

This document is of great historical importance. It identifies my sources and the information provided by each source that corresponds to each of the 97 Dean sued-upon assertions of defamation. It serves as a resource for historians and journalists studying the "Nixon years" and the "Watergate" scandal for decades to come.

Let me describe the document to you. The body of the document is between 500 and 550 pages. Attached to it are 754 separate exhibits, spanning between 3,400 and 3,500 pages. The total document consists of nearly 4,200 pages and stands two feet high.

Lots of new evidence is contained in the document, such as information establishing that the true target of the break-in was NOT DNC Chairman Larry O'Brien's office telephone but another telephone in the DNC office complex used, among other things, to contact an ESCORT service for out-of-town male visitors. And there is much, much more.

The February 10th issue of "Insight" magazine reported the following about the filing of the motion.

"In December, Colodny's attorneys dumped a 4,200-page summary-judgment motion into Dean's lap asking U.S. Magistrate Alan Kay to dismiss the case. Dean immediately requested a continuance to respond to the motion. It was a briar patch."
"Even Dean's own words in his best-selling book "Blind Ambition" are being used in Colodny's motion to portray Dean as a liar."

In a last ditch effort to maintain Dean's fictional account of his true role in the "Watergate" scandal, Dean's attorneys made a vigorous attempt to have this document sealed by the court. That would have kept it from the public forever, and Dean's mythical story would continue unchallenged. This effort failed, the truth is out and the "Watergate" history will never be the same again.

After reading the motion, or a condensation thereof, I am sure you will agree with my opinion that "Silent Coup" has won the "Historical Struggle" on these issues. So that you can fully comprehend the substance and content of the Motion, I am publishing the Motion's printed TABLE OF CONTENTS. If you wish to obtain a copy of the Motion itself, please send me an e-mail.

We are looking forward to John Wesley Dean's ANSWER to this motion. He owes that, not to us, but to ALL the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
