Die Grand Jury versäumt es, demokratische Gesetzgeber anzuklagen, die Militärangehörige dazu drängten, illegalen Trump-Befehlen nicht zu gehorchen

A federal grand jury on Tuesday [declined to indict Democratic lawmakers](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/politics/lawmakers-indicted-illegal-orders-video?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit) who posted a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey any illegal orders from the Trump administration, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The Justice Department’s case focused on a 90-second video clip that featured six democrats, including Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. The video, which outraged the Trump administration, had warned that “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” and repeatedly urged the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”

The declination is a rebuke of the administration’s efforts to paint the six lawmakers — all of whom served in either the military or intelligence services — as dangerously undermining the president’s authority as commander in chief. It was not immediately clear which of the lawmakers were facing indictments. CNN has asked the Justice Department for comment.

And while the indictment was rejected by the grand jury, it is also an extraordinary escalation of the Justice Department’s willingness to prosecute who speak about against the president and his administration’s actions.

The video, posted in November, was met with immediate backlash from the Trump administration, including from the president himself who accused the lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH.”

Within weeks, Slotkin and Kelly, along with Reps. Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Jason Crow and Maggie Goodlander, said they had been contacted by federal prosecutors as part of an investigation into their actions.

More failures for the fascist DOJ.

They should have tried indicting a ham sandwich instead of a law abiding citizen.

Edit: What’s up with the network security messages?

You mean the legal statement they made? How did this even get to a jury without being thrown out?

I’m pleasantly surprised that something went well for once. I suppose the rule of law will still exist for another few days, at least.

Will Trump now charge the Grand Jury with treason?

Saw that coming a mile away. Trump and his whole administration are fucking idiots.

Now indict the ones that issued and followed illegal orders.

This headline is busted.

The DOJ failed to get an indictment.

The grand jury *declined* to indict.

FFS CNN

The grand jury didn’t fail to do anything. It did its job, and reasonably declined to issue an indictment.

Well… yeah? In what world was a jury going to say that telling people to follow the law was treason?

Its all falling apart for these clowns!! And I love it.

Lol yeah duh. Speech is free in the US and its certainly legal to read out loud what the law is

In other words, urged them to follow the law.

Radical.

What a weird word op used for the title.

That’s not failing, that’s a grand jury doing the right thing upholding rule of law.
