Several Democratic lawmakers said Wednesday they’re under investigation by the Justice Department over a social media post in which they reminded U.S. service members they have a duty to disobey illegal orders. Congressmembers Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan and Senator Elissa Slotkin received inquiries from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro requesting interviews about their participation in this video posted last November.
Sen. Mark Kelly: “You can refuse illegal orders.”
Sen. Elissa Slotkin: “You can refuse illegal orders.”
Rep. Chris Deluzio: “You must refuse illegal orders.”
Sen. Elissa Slotkin: “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law” …
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan: … “or our Constitution.”
Senator Slotkin said Wednesday she also received an inquiry from the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division late last year. That followed President Trump’s call for the lawmakers to be tried for treason and put to death.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin: “To be clear, this is the president’s playbook. Truth doesn’t matter. Facts don’t matter. And anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them. It’s legal intimidation and physical intimidation meant to get you to shut up.”
