The Democrats’ orders to defy President Trump’s lawful orders and their outrage over Trump’s calls for accountability– and even the death penalty– are now blowing up in their faces after days of intended backlash against Trump.
Trump is being proven right to call for criminal charges and the death penalty, if a jury determines it appropriate, by their own statements!
In a recent video message to active-duty military members, six Democratic lawmakers told service members and intelligence officials that they have a “duty” to disobey “illegal” orders from President Trump.
The members of Congress used their credentials as high-ranking former members of the military and national security apparatus to advise people to disobey lawful orders from their chain of command and the President of the United States, with extremely broad and unclear language. By signaling they have the duty to do so, they further attempted to intimidate those under the command of the United States into opposing lawful orders.
This comes amid unrelenting waves of lawfare against the President’s lawful authority, which the Supreme Court has overwhelmingly ruled has been exercised properly.
Video below:
Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI), the head former CIA agent in the conspiracy to commit a military coup, appeared on ABC’s “This Week” with Martha Raddatz on Sunday, where she couldn’t even name an illegal order the President had given.
Surprisingly, Raddatz actually called her out and asked for an example of an illegal order Trump has issued.
But Slotkin responded, “I am not aware of things that are illegal,” claiming, “there are some legal gymnastics” in an apparent nod to the Democrats’ ongoing bogus legal challenges.
WATCH:
Raddatz: Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
Slotkin: To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal, but certainly, there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela.
Slotkin also stumbled and studdered when Raddatz pressed her on the “murky” language used by lawmakers to give their illegitimate orders.
She pointed to the Nuremberg Trials, where Nazi leaders were tried for crimes against humanity, and 12 were sentenced to death, claiming that following orders “is not an excuse.” She then ludicrously pointed to the famed Tom Cruise movie, “A Few Good Men,” where wrongfully accused Marine Corps members were on trial for murder after a hazing incident, ordered by their higher-ups, as an example of what could happen to active duty military in today’s world.
It’s very clearly an intimidation tactic aimed at young enlistees.
However, she claimed that the Democrat lawmakers are only encouraging members of the military to “ask for help.”
“The best thing for people to do is go to their JAG officer, their local law enforcement, or a legal officer in their unit, and ask for some explanation,” Slotkin said.
WATCH:
Raddatz: It is very clear that no one should follow an illegal order, but it’s very murky when you look at what is an illegal order, and if you go into morally, ethically, that’s a pretty tough thing to look at and say, “How do I navigate this?”
Slotkin: I don’t— I mean, look, if you go back to Nuremberg, right that— “well, they told me to do it, that’s why I murdered people,” is not an excuse. If you look at popular culture, there’s like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War Two and Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it and they were prosecuted for it.
So, the best thing for people to do is go to their JAG officer, their local law enforcement, or a legal officer in their unit, and ask for some explanation. Ask for help, and that’s what we’ve been advising people to do.
