A federal grand jury in Washington DC declined to indict the seditious six Democrat lawmakers who called on members of military to defy President Trump’s orders.
In November, without offering any specifics, Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Democrat Reps. Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA) repeatedly stated, “You can refuse illegal orders,” or “You must refuse illegal orders,” in a viral video.

CBS News and The New York Times reported that a grand jury declined to indict the ‘Seditious Six.’
CBS News reported:
A federal grand jury on Tuesday refused to indict six congressional Democrats who drew President Trump’s ire last year by taping a video telling members of the military that they must reject “illegal orders,” according to three sources familiar with the matter, including one within the Justice Department.
The Democratic lawmakers are the latest Trump foes that the Justice Department has sought criminal charges against, following former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. After the lawmakers’ video was posted in November, the president called their comments “seditious” and demanded that they be “arrested and put on trial.”
The news of the declined indictment was first reported by The New York Times.
CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
Two sources who were briefed on the matter told CBS News the Justice Department sought to charge the lawmakers under a criminal statute known as 18 U.S.C. § 2387.
Democrat Rep. Jason Crown lashed out the Trump Administration after a grand jury declined to return an indictment.
“If these fuckers think that they’re going to intimidate us and threaten and bully me in the silence, and they’re going to go after political opponents and get us to back down, they have another thing coming. The tide is turning,” Democrat Rep. Jason Crow said.
“Everyone should be appalled by the fact that Donald Trump and his goons at Department of Justice are weaponizing the justice system just to try to silence dissent and to crush political opponents.”
Last month Secretary of War Pete Hegseth censured Democrat Senator Mark Kelly and cut his military retirement pay over his ‘seditious’ video urging service members to defy President Trump’s orders.
