""You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders," the lawmakers said, as they took turns reading lines in the video."
""You can't have a soldier out on the battlefield or conducting a classified order questioning whether that order is lawful or whether they should follow through,""
"President Trump has been livid over the video, saying it was treasonous and should be punishable by DEATH."
"He also said, in a late night Truth Social post on November 22, that the congress members SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW."
FBI and Justice Department officials are coordinating interviews of six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse illegal orders. The interviews are expected to take place shortly after Thanksgiving. Lawmakers involved included Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Chris Deluzio, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin. Several of the lawmakers have prior service in the Navy, Army, Air Force, or intelligence community. Sen. Kelly faces potential military punishment. President Trump condemned the video as treasonous and called for severe punishment, while White House officials and conservative commentators also criticized the lawmakers.
