Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is irate over news that his colleague, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), is the subject of a Department of War investigation for taking part in a video urging military members to defy orders from their superiors.
So much so that he's seemingly issuing threats to anyone who takes part in that investigation.
A Department of War statement issued Monday stated Kelly had been accused of "serious allegations of misconduct" and that further actions against him are under consideration—including a potential court-martial or other "administrative measures."
Gallego, in an interview with CNN, warned service members that once President Trump leaves office, "there will be consequences” for participating in any military proceedings related to the investigation.
“Donald Trump is going to be gone in a couple of years,” he said. “And if you’re part of the military that is going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences, without a doubt.”
Gallego, practically following the playbook from the video verbatim, tossed out that military members must follow the Constitution, of course. After making several threats—"consequences," "looking over their shoulders," "will not have that protection"—anyway. Just follow the law *wink, wink*, that we're interpreting for you in our comments, and all will be well.
"They’re going to have to do the safest thing possible, which is follow the Constitution of the United States, and you’ll be fine," he suggested.
There is little ambiguity here. Gallego is threatening investigators with repercussions if they "go after" Kelly and dole out punishment. It's intentionally tainting the inquiry.
They should be free to investigate whether or not Sen. Kelly is in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) without fear of partisan punishment for simply doing their job.
Gallego went even further, suggesting military members would need to look over their shoulders once the Commander-in-Chief leaves office.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of officers that'll be part of this potential tribunal, if they want to call it that, they're going to be looking over their shoulders," he said. "Because they know that Donald Trump will be gone and they will not have that protection."

Ruben, even without threatening military members, was clearly off his rocker regarding the Kelly investigation, based on other comments today.
"F*** you and your investigation," he wrote on X.
Gallego followed that up with a profanity-laced video in which he showed off a temperament unfit for Congress.
"This is f***ing insane. We should all point out how f***ing insane this is," he said, perhaps looking into a mirror. "And, you know, these guys are trying to say that they’re not acting like fascists, they’re not trying to give as much power to this president as a king, then they should stop acting like it."
"Secretary Hegseth, all these guys, f*** you guys," Gallego said. "You’re not gonna be able to scare us."
Hegseth might want to take a closer look at Gallego, a former Marine, in the same manner they're investigating Kelly.
Good thing the military runs its own codes and investigations.
That sounds a little insurrectiony.
Arrest him too!
If you listen closely to Slutnick’s explanation ad to why she took part in the video she lets it slip that any member of the military who carries out attacks on narco terrorists could face charges if demonicRATS retake power.
Tells me they’re in bed with them.... no wonder she’s a slutnick.
SEEMS SOME PEOPLE HAVE THEIR PRIORITIES MIXED UP
Let these cong’l varmints threaten all they like. They sure like to hear themselves talk nonsense.
No, just Democrats…..
That sounds a little insurrectiony.
Maybe even a little seditiony
Bingo. Slotnick and the Seditious Six hate America as much as Zoltan hates New York and that lady who is running for the city council of Nashville hates Nashville.
Being on the wrong side of serious things, such as “Lawful Orders,” exposes the sad state of our Congressfolk’s lack of intellect.
Gallego and Kelly are not very bright.
Always consider the source when men like them sound off.
I am familiar with Kelly and he is a borderline Psycho!
Traveling to Space messes up the minds of men!
IGNORE THE SIX TRAITORS?
NO! GET AFTER THEM, IMMEDIATELY!

word
THIS KELLY IDIOT DIDT THINK THIS THRU BEFORE HE MADE THAT VIDEO...HE STEPPED IN IT AND HE KNOWS IT, THEY ALL DO. Now, Hegseth has to actually do it!!
How much does the Sinaloa cartel pay Gallego? Are they the same one that stole Arizona’s election for Katie Hobbs? Are Kelly and Gallego aware that they’re eligible for actual execution under UCMJ if their ties to a national enemy like that are confirmed?
Are Kelly and Gallego aware that they’re eligible for actual execution under UCMJ if their ties to a national enemy like that are confirmed?
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Doesn’t kelly have business ties to Chyna?
Doesn’t gallego have family ties to the cartels?
Was Gallego a commissioned officer? If so, he could be subject to be called up & court martialled too
Is there doubt coming from somewhere that he won't? It may be a somber, heavy task but I think the War Secretary is just the man for the job. The seditious 6 played with fire. Now they will be toast.
Threats, harassment, and intimidation.
Democrat SOP.
Democrats are so full of themselves that they don't even try to hide what they do any more. They think they are, and sadly often are, untouchable.
This administration needs to enforce the law and pursue charges for this kind of crap.
