David Rohde on Whistleblower Allegations on Trump’s Push to Exclude Voters: ‘It’s Just an Extraordinary Thing’

EXCERPT:

ROHDE: “It's just an extraordinary thing. And then you had the House speaker just at the top of the show saying, 'Oh, no, no, Congress has no role in overseeing like how we wage war, when you have Americans risking their lives, 50,000 of them. So it's just this theme of a stronger president of anything like this. Senator Blumenthal was very clear to me last night. He talked about how brave this whistleblower is and how nervous this person is about retaliation. But he said it's -- the system is just slapdash and sloppy. It's designed to fail. It's designed to not work properly and designed -- you know, it seems to exclude people from voting. So it's extraordinary that this is happening. And again, there was a court order saying the administration should not carry out this project. And yet, according to whistleblower, they're carrying it out again. Again, the executive branch, the president ignoring the courts, a co-equal branch of government. And I'm sorry, I'm going to constantly talk about our democracy and this ideal, American ideal of three co-equal branches of government.”
