The Washington U.S. Attorney’s office previously failed to get a grand jury indictment of the group.
Hafiz Rashid at TNR:
Donald Trump is dropping his attempt to prosecute six congressional Democrats who made a video urging federal law enforcement and members of the military not to obey illegal orders. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., led by Jeanine Pirro, had sought to indict lawmakers two weeks ago, but a federal grand jury issued a rare denial. Pirro has subsequently decided to stop pursuing the case, NBC News reported Monday night. While another federal prosecutor in a different federal court district could still try to bring a case, there’s no indication that any will.
[...] It was a gross abuse of power, as none of the six lawmakers did anything except express their First Amendment rights and tell federal and military personnel not to follow illegal orders, which shouldn’t bother the White House if it doesn’t believe it’s issuing any. A federal grand jury agreed, and on some level, prosecutors in Pirro’s office must have known their effort was unfounded, as they couldn’t name any statute the members of Congress violated.
The Trump Regime has finally realized that their pathetically partisan attempts to unlawfully prosecute 6 patriotic Democratic elected officials who starred in the “Don’t Give Up The Ship” video late last year are essentially dead in the water.
The 6 Democrats in question are: Sens. Mark Kelly (AZ) and Elissa Slotkin (MI), and Reps. Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), Maggie Goodlander (NH), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA).
The “Seditious Six” Democrat politicians who President Donald Trump and others accused of sedition after they released a video telling U.S. military personnel to refuse “illegal orders.” They didn't name even one illegal order because they knew there wasn't any.
Here are their names:
Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colorado)
Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pennsylvania)
Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-New Hampshire)
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pennsylvania)
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona)
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan)
support the people who made the anti-illegal-orders military ad!
So in case you missed it, six congresspeople, former military/CIA people, made a video essentially saying "yo military if Trump tells you to do something illegal you have to disobey", and now trump is saying they should be arrested and maybe killed which is uh not suggesting he isn't making illegal orders. I'm gonna guess they're getting a lot of hate mail right now. So please contact them and tell them thank you if they are your congressperson (please don't if they're not, I think they don't like that)

Three more Democratic lawmakers said they were contacted by federal prosecutors investigating their participation in a video last year reminding U.S. military and intelligence service members that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders. The disclosures from Reps. Chris Deluzio (Pa.), Maggie Goodlander (N.H.) and Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.) means that five of the six lawmakers who appeared in the video are under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Earlier this week, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), who organized the video, and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) also said the DOJ also attempted to contact their offices. The Department of Defense is currently investigating the sixth participant, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). The DOJ investigations are being carried out by officials working under Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and a staunch ally of President Donald Trump. It is still unclear what crime Pirro’s office believes the lawmakers may have committed. Rather, it appears the probe violates DOJ policy and guidelines, which generally prohibit investigations from being initiated solely based on activities protected by the First Amendment, including protected speech. In the video, the lawmakers restated a fundamental principle of military law: that service members swear an oath to the Constitution — not a person — that obligates them to disobey unlawful orders. After the lawmakers released the video, Trump expressed support for imprisoning and executing them, all of whom are military veterans or former intelligence officers, for what he termed “seditious behavior” — a concept that does not exist under U.S. law.
The DOJ has targeted three more Democrats involved in the video warning against unlawful orders against the Trump Regime for a bogus “investigation”: Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH). This is in addition to Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) and Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). The other Senator involved in the “Don’t Give Up The Ship” video, Mark Kelly (D-AZ), is under DoD “investigation.”
Amid tremendous uproar on the left over President Donald Trump calling for the arrest of six Democratic lawmakers for “seditious behavior,”
David Badash at NCRM (11.20.2025):
Amid tremendous uproar on the left over President Donald Trump calling for the arrest of six Democratic lawmakers for “seditious behavior,” and even promoting a call for them to be hanged, the White House is walking back what has been described as Trump’s “violent rhetoric,” by saying he wants them to be held accountable. The Democrats, all veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces or Intelligence Community, recorded a video reminding members of the military and the IC of their legal responsibility to not obey illegal orders. Trump called their remarks “seditious behavior at the highest level,” and said that they should be “arrested and put on trial.” He also called the six lawmakers “traitors,” and wrote: “Seditious behavior, punishable by death!”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, asked about his attack on the Democratic representatives and senators, defended the president while appearing to attempt to minimize what Democratic leaders called “violent rhetoric.” “To suggest and encourage that active duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do,” Leavitt claimed, “and they should be held accountable, and that’s what the president wants to see. ” When asked if Trump was encouraging political violence, Leavitt replied, “Why aren’t you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to encourage and incite violence?” “They are literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members, to defy the chain of command,” she charged.
This afternoon, Spokesliar Karoline Leavitt gaslit the American people by making excuses for Donald Trump’s violence-inciting post calling for the arrest and execution of 6 Congressional Democrats (Sens. Slotkin and Kelly, and Reps. Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan) over their video reminding military members to not obey illegal orders.
