Seditious 6 are not seditious according to Grand Jury

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. does not indict "seditious 6"

The six Democratic lawmakers who urged members of the military to refuse so-called “illegal orders” off the hook

The lawmakers named in the video are Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Representatives Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan

In the clip, they repeatedly said phrases like “You can refuse illegal orders” and “You must refuse illegal orders.” The video went viral last November and drew immediate outrage from supporters of President Donald Trump.

Sources told reporters the Justice Department sought to charge the lawmakers under 18 U.S.C. § 2387, a statute that addresses inducing or assisting insubordination in the armed forces. But the grand jury did not return indictments.

CBS News and The New York Times were among the outlets to report the decision. The news follows a pattern of high-profile legal attention tied to President Donald Trump, who criticized the lawmakers at the time and called their comments “seditious,” demanding they be “arrested and put on trial.”
