A federal grand jury in Washington DC declined to indict the seditious six Democrat lawmakers who called on members of military to defy President Trump’s orders.
In November, without offering any specifics, Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Democrat Reps. Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA) repeatedly stated, “You can refuse illegal orders,” or “You must refuse illegal orders,” in a viral video.
WATCH:
CBS News and The New York Times reported that a grand jury declined to indict the ‘Seditious Six.’
CBS News reported:
A federal grand jury on Tuesday refused to indict six congressional Democrats who drew President Trump’s ire last year by taping a video telling members of the military that they must reject “illegal orders,” according to three sources familiar with the matter, including one within the Justice Department.
The Democratic lawmakers are the latest Trump foes that the Justice Department has sought criminal charges against, following former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. After the lawmakers’ video was posted in November, the president called their comments “seditious” and demanded that they be “arrested and put on trial.”
The news of the declined indictment was first reported by The New York Times.
CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
Two sources who were briefed on the matter told CBS News the Justice Department sought to charge the lawmakers under a criminal statute known as 18 U.S.C. § 2387.
Democrat Rep. Jason Crown lashed out the Trump Administration after a grand jury declined to return an indictment.
“If these fuckers think that they’re going to intimidate us and threaten and bully me in the silence, and they’re going to go after political opponents and get us to back down, they have another thing coming. The tide is turning,” Democrat Rep. Jason Crow said.
“Everyone should be appalled by the fact that Donald Trump and his goons at Department of Justice are weaponizing the justice system just to try to silence dissent and to crush political opponents.”
Last month Secretary of War Pete Hegseth censured Democrat Senator Mark Kelly and cut his military retirement pay over his ‘seditious’ video urging service members to defy President Trump’s orders.

Rent them all an apartment in Leninrad on the 45th floor..
Let Rusky nature take its course...
Splat!
Not sure we’d have hanged en but there would have been consequence
The demographics for DC courts and juries is a sewer pit
Either lefty govt apparatchik or minority average IQ. 65 sorts.
I think they vote 90% dem
Opposite of white Mississippians. (My group)
No surprise with a DC jury. Until you come up with a way to get them in front of a jury in Florida or Texas or somewhere like that, you will never indict a democrat for any crime, ever. Commies cover for each other.
Can elected officials tell the military to disobey orders with complete impunity?
U.S. service members are legally required to obey lawful orders but have a duty to refuse “manifestly illegal” ones. Elected officials encouraging this action are generally protected by the First Amendment, as the principle aligns with established military law.
Key details regarding this issue include:
Legal Obligation: Service members can be held criminally liable for obeying illegal orders. These include commands violating the U.S. Constitution, international law, or the Geneva Conventions. While some officials argue this guidance is necessary to uphold the Constitution, others have characterized such encouragement as “seditious behavior”.
Immunity: Legal experts generally agree that political speech by lawmakers advising the military to follow the law is protected, though the boundaries of this, particularly during active military operations, are a subject of intense political and legal debate.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has previously stated that military officers are required to not carry out unlawful orders, such as those from a president.
Here’s an idea, find a way to draft them!
Why on earth dd they even bother bringing this case in Washington DC? It’s the apex of jury nullification.
Court Marshal is the way to go
“DC” Pfffft!!
There must be a work-around, e.g., some Military option that Hegseth can use. IIRC, these people were military. Call them back into service; court martial them. Off to Leavenworth. Screw a DC Jury of any kind.
Congress can close the Federal District Courts and fold them into another Jurisdiction with a simple majority vote. It would be easier than impeaching a single Federal Judge.
What did we think was going to happen?

Activist groups in DC are advising DC residents (not exactly a heavy lift in a 93% Dem city) how to reject criminal indictments if seated on a grand jury.
And let’s not forget who oversees GJ proceedings in DC district court: Jeb Boasberg.

This is a major repudiation of Trump’s efforts to use the law enforcement system to attack his political opponents. Grand juries only hear the prosecution side and rarely reject indictments. But in this case, the everyday citizens found even the one-sided case unconvincing. x.com/peterbakernyt/…

Anyone thinking they would be indicted in DC is delusional.
Maybe this dose of reality will stop the cries of "Where are the indictments, Bondi?". We need to face the situation as it is, not as we want it to be.
That doesn't mean we should give up, but we should be looking for ways to stop funding our enemies in the media and in blue cities.
A BLACK DEMOCRAT DC JURY WOULD ONLY FIND A REPUBLICAN GUILTY OF ANYTHING!! BLAH!
DC: the home of black women head of households.
The thing that bothers me, is that Justice in America is now completely political. Depends upon jury and location, not the crimes. I am not saying that the protection wasn’t placed in for a reason, because ultimately it was. The protection was placed as a balance against tyranny from the government. The ‘activists’ all yell ‘Hitler’ and ‘tyranny’ when in reality there leaders have been more fascist, less tolerant, more tyrannical, and just plain bad for America.
The really sad part is the media, even when they know that the ‘tampering’ is by a foreign power in the US system ‘activists sponsored by China’ they don’t put it out there. They are so politically homogeneous in media that they can’t follow the truth anymore. The fourth branch of government died first, but it’s taking everything with it.
OTOH, if the Dems ever get back in power, and bring of members of the military up on charges for following the legal orders of this country’s Commander in Chief, a DC jury will be eager to indict.
I can smell bias before someone opens their yap and confirms my suspicions. I choose to avoid the Zombie swarm.
With early release if they repent.
