Trump Demands Democrats Be Hung For Saying ‘Don’t Break The Law’
KEY POINTS
- •A group of Democrats including Slotkin, Goodlander, and Kelly appeared in a November video urging service members to reject unlawful orders.
- •Trump accused them of seditious behavior punishable by death and directed DOJ, led by Jeanine Pirro, to seek indictments which a grand jury declined.
- •Despite failed indictments, Kelly fights an attempt to reduce his Navy rank, while lawmakers insist they will continue defending constitutional oaths.
In a political saga that smells like a tangled GOP fever dream, a bipartisan band of veteran Democrats including Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.), and the Navy Captain-turned-Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) starred in a November video reminding troops: you can refuse illegal orders. Trump responded by demanding DOJ charge them with 'sedition punishable by death,' and Jeanine Pirro's office swung the indictment hammer — and missed. The grand jury laughed this one out, refusing to indict over what Slotkin called 'an outrageous abuse of power.' Meanwhile, Goodlander claimed Trump wanted her arrested and hung, probably denying cosplay was involved. Kelly is still battling Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s effort to demote his rank. DOJ lawyers' failed theatrics left Crow, Deluzio, and Houlahan standing tall, calling out Trump’s antics as something 'you see in a foreign country, not America.' No White House comment – guess they’re busy scripting the sequel to this political circus.

Apparently, reminding soldiers not to follow illegal orders is now a death-penalty sedition plot. Next up: whistleblowing classified as treason and jaywalking as terrorism.
Convincing the military to obey the Constitution is the new criminal mastermind plot, according to this administration's horror novel.
Trump’s DOJ tried sedition charges on Democrats for law-abiding advice. Did someone switch places with a reality TV soap script writer?
