周二，美国首都的一个大陪审团拒绝了司法部起诉一群民主党议员的企图，这些议员在一段网上发布的视频中鼓励美国军人无视“非法”命令。
司法部对这段视频展开了调查，视频中有六名民主党议员呼吁军队和情报界成员违抗联邦政府的非法命令。这些议员都曾在军队或情报机构服役。
视频中的议员包括密歇根州参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金和亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利，以及宾夕法尼亚州众议员克里斯·德卢齐奥、克里斯西·胡拉汉、新罕布什尔州众议员玛吉·古德兰和科罗拉多州众议员杰森·克劳。
“本届政府正在将我们身着制服的军人和情报界专业人士与美国公民对立起来，”议员们在视频中表示，“和我们一样，你们都宣誓要保护和捍卫宪法。目前，针对我们宪法的威胁不仅来自国外，也来自国内。我们的法律很明确。你们可以拒绝非法命令。你们必须拒绝非法命令。没有人有义务执行违反法律或宪法的命令。”

据美联社报道，大陪审团拒绝签署对这些议员的指控。目前尚不清楚检察官是否已对所有六名议员提起诉讼，或试图以何种罪名起诉。
检察官仍有可能再次试图对民主党人提起诉讼。
总统唐纳德·特朗普指责这些议员是“叛徒”，从事“最高级别的煽动叛乱”，“应该被关进监狱”。他甚至暗示他们应该因这段视频被处决，尽管他后来试图收回这一言论。
斯洛特金此前曾在中央情报局和国防部工作，在该视频发布几天后以及特朗普随后暗示民主党人应被处决后，她遭到了炸弹威胁。

“今晚我们可以为宪法、言论自由和法治争取一分，”斯洛特金周二在一份声明中表示，“但今天不仅是政府的尴尬之日，也是我们国家的又一个悲伤日子。”
前海军飞行员凯利称，试图对他们提起指控是“唐纳德·特朗普及其跟班对权力的滥用，令人发指”。
“唐纳德·特朗普希望每个美国人都害怕到不敢公开反对他，”凯利在X平台上表示，“我们所有人能做的最爱国的事就是不退缩。”
去年11月，五角大楼对凯利展开调查，援引一项联邦法律，该法律允许退休军人根据国防部长的命令被召回现役，以接受军事法庭审判或其他处罚。
国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯谴责了凯利，并试图因他参与视频（该视频确认拒绝非法命令是军事惯例的一部分）而将其从退役上尉军衔追溯降职。

“作为一名仍在领取军事养老金的退役海军上尉，凯利上尉知道他仍对军事司法负有责任，”赫格塞斯1月5日在X平台上写道。
凯利回应称，他起诉赫格塞斯以阻止这些程序，称这是违宪的报复行为。
在上周的听证会上，一名法官似乎对政府律师为捍卫赫格塞斯上月谴责亚利桑那州参议员的举动所提出的关键论点表示怀疑。

Grand jury rejects DOJ effort to indict Democratic lawmakers who urged military to defy illegal orders
‘Tonight we can score one for the Constitution, our freedom of speech, and the rule of law,’ Sen. Elissa Slotkin said

A grand jury in the nation’s capital on Tuesday refused the Justice Department’s attempt to indict a group of Democratic lawmakers who encouraged U.S. military members to ignore “illegal” orders in a video posted online.
The DOJ opened an investigation into the video featuring six Democratic lawmakers calling on troops and members of the intelligence community to defy illegal orders from the federal government. The lawmakers all served in the military or at intelligence agencies.
The lawmakers in the video were Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona, as well as Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.
“This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” the lawmakers said in the video. “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”

Grand jurors declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers, according to The Associated Press. It was not immediately clear whether prosecutors had pursued indictments against all six lawmakers or what charges they attempted to bring.
Prosecutors could still attempt to secure an indictmentto secure an indictment against the Democrats.
President Donald Trump had accused the lawmakers of being “traitors” who engaged in “sedition at the highest level” and “should be in jail.” He even suggested they should be executed over the video, although he later attempted to walk that comment back.
Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Defense Department, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump’s subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed.

“Tonight we can score one for the Constitution, our freedom of speech, and the rule of law,” Slotkin said in a statement on Tuesday. “But today wasn’t just an embarrassing day for the Administration. It was another sad day for our country.”
Kelly, a former Navy pilot, called the attempt to bring charges an “outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackeys.”
“Donald Trump wants every American to be too scared to speak out against him,” Kelly said on X. “The most patriotic thing any of us can do is not back down.”
In November, the Pentagon launched an investigation into Kelly, pointing to a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the secretary for possible court-martial or other punishment.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has censured Kelly and is attempting to retroactively demote Kelly from his retired rank of captain over his participation in the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol.

“As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice,” Hegseth wrote in an X post on Jan. 5.
Kelly responded by suing Hegseth to block those proceedings, which he called an unconstitutional act of retribution.
During a hearing last week, a judge appeared to be skeptical of key arguments that a government attorney made in defense of Hegseth’s move last month to censure the Arizona senator.
