At least four Democratic members of Congress say federal prosecutors are seeking to question them after they participated in a video urging members of the military to refuse illegal orders.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., says she found out about the investigation when she received a call from the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. The New York Times first reported Slotkin's knowledge of the investigation.

Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., and Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., say federal prosecutors have also asked to question them about the video.

What, exactly, does she mean by illegal orders?

Like an order to peel onions, carrots and potatoes with a spoon or to do 100 push-ups in the rain and mud? OMG!

Orders to do things against the current narrative. They mean “lawful orders” like oppose Democrat rioters.

That video was crafted to instill doubt and persuade to action, not to remind or inform. And the action would amount to chaos, not just the happy horse shit they proclaim it to be.

Hopefully they are investigating this as a conspiracy and looking at who was the ringleader and what were the steps taken.

Well, I think Pres. Trump has basically silenced these whack jobs by taking out Maduro and stopping the flow of illegal drugs. No more drug boats to take out, I suppose they oppose that and want the chaos in Venezuela to continue. Still, telling troops to defy orders is imho insurrection and Demotion and censorship for Kelly isn’t enough, he should be court marshalled as well and lose all of his veteran benefits. The rest of the whack jobs should be severely punished as well.

Investigation is only the first step, I want prosecution or at a minimum significant appropriate accountability.

Clown around and find out. Lets get real with the DC pukes. They make extreme statements to get more press and TV. Its their form of trolling. This is RAT performance art.

Slotkin took her performing too seriously, so might get called up on charges.

Yes Pres DJT trolls too.

Inserting oneself into the chain of command, using the pulpit of your official government position, is absolutely projectile vomit. Not the commander-in-chief so shut the hell up.

They should be investigated and hopefully, arrested and fingerprinted and thrown in jail. Show the world their shame walk.
