"So again, yeah, this is all a bunch of bullshit, and the reason why, I think, is because this is just about sending a message to retired service members, active-duty service members, government employees: do not speak out against this president, or there will be consequences, replied Kelly, adding: So it's a lot bigger than just dealing with me, and that's why they don't handle this professionally, like you would expect."
"At some point, DOD would notify me of an investigation, but they haven't. And they haven't because all theyI think what they really care about is the public message. They're going after me, a U.S. Senator, for something I said that was lawful. It was the truth. It was something people are trained on. It was something that Pete Hegseth said in 2016 multiple times, and in his case, specifically about this president and his concerns."
The Pentagon elevated an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly after he released a video urging soldiers not to follow illegal orders. The probe could carry disciplinary consequences. Kelly reported no recent DoD contact since his 2011 Navy retirement and Legion of Merit. Kelly characterized the investigation as an effort to send a public message to current and former service members and government employees to deter criticism of the president. Kelly referenced similar past comments by Pete Hegseth, rejected the probe as unjustified, and vowed to continue defending the Constitution and speaking out.
