The Seditious Six have been all over the media, trying to raise their profiles and perhaps even kick-start runs for president in 2028. Surprisingly, the mainstream media has been pushing back on these former military and intelligence officers, asking them to give examples of illegal orders that have come down from the Trump administration. “We were very clear in the video that what we are talking about is unlawful orders,” Rep. Jason Crow told CBS News. Asked to name one specifically, he couldn’t, but he did put forward sending troops into polling stations and killing terrorists’ families as examples.
On ABC News, Sen. Elissa Slotkin reached back to Nuremberg as an example of “just following orders.”
Slotkin invokes Nuremberg in her defense of Democrat ‘illegal orders’ video:
“’Well, they told me to do it’ is not an excuse…People were prosecuted.”
Democrats are threatening legal retaliation as an intimidation tactic. Same thing they’ve been doing to ICE agents. https://t.co/Ms0Oj5Wmwo pic.twitter.com/IMo58nR4IS

When asked for examples of illegal orders, Slotkin went back to the Vietnam War, and then offered the movie “A Few Good Men” as an example from pop culture.

Silly Democratic propaganda

There’s some colossal backtracking going on here.

But what about now, in real life? Does Slotkin believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders? “To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal,” she told ABC News, angering MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough, who barked, “Wrong answer!” before rattling off a list of hypotheticals.
Stop digging.

She is a CIA analyst that knew how to dismantle a country from the inside. She has been exposed. Former CIA told exactly what she did and she did this on purpose.

It is a psyop and it was meant to be disruptive. We all know there will be people in the military and, especially, in the intel community who will take their advice.

That’s the clumsiest clumsy backpedaling I’ve seen in a bit 😆

Oh a movie justifies sedition @SenatorSlotkin ??

A movie from 1992 is the closest she could come to an example of an illegal order from the Trump administration.
