EXCERPT:
WEHLE: "Well, it's not a huge surprise given during the campaign that Mr. Trump was shouting lock her up suggesting that if he were elected that he'd go after Hillary Clinton. But it's absolutely astonishing and mind-blowing as a matter of democratic principles, the notion that a president, someone with the immense power of the executive branch would zero in on political rivals, pick and choose people regardless of the facts and the law, and the American public needs to wake up on both sides of the aisle. This is — we are on a slippery slope to tyranny. There’s just no question about it. And the issue then becomes what’s the accountability? And was mentioned, sure, if something actually got before a court, the courts are functioning right now. They focus on the facts and the law. And we saw Mr. McGahn, who is a conservative basically putting the brakes on internally. So that’s another check. If we saw some of this widespread political investigation and prosecution I suspect -- I would suspect you’d see widespread resignations within the Department of Justice because lawyers have ethical rules and laws that bind their decision making and how they proceed regardless of what the president said. But then the big question is what is Congress going to do. We have now still have a Republican Senate and the Republicans have sat on the sidelines their -- their responsibility to hold the other two branches accountable. It hasn't been happening. So, we’ll see what happens when the House turns Democratic."
