"On Wednesday on his WarRoom podcast, Bannon argued Hegseth ordering a review of Kelly over potentially unlawful conduct is not enough. We've got to stop messing around! Kelly's got to be recalled. We don't need to wait until 10, December, Pete, Bannon said. It's pretty obvious what [Kelly] did. Just recall him back to active duty and let's convene a court martial."
"Hegseth is set to be briefed on the review no later than December 10. That deadline, Bannon argued, is way too long. Do it today, he said. We don't need the secretary of the Navy involved. The secretary of war should just do it. Bannon recommended recalling Kelly to active duty (something that can be done for a court martial, but it is rare) today and convening a court martial that sits as soon as Monday."
Steve Bannon demanded immediate recall of Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty and an expedited court-martial rather than waiting for a Navy Secretary review. Bannon criticized the December 10 review deadline as too slow and urged Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to act at once, saying the Navy secretary need not be involved. Recalling a reservist for court-martial is possible but uncommon. Kelly appeared in a video with Democratic lawmakers urging service members to refuse unlawful orders and warning of threats to the Constitution. Former President Donald Trump publicly called for prosecution and harsher punishments, and Kelly has pushed back.
