The office of Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has decided against pursuing a criminal case against Sens. Mark Kelly of Arizona, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, and other members of the so-called “Seditious Six.”
NBC Newsreported the development on Monday, citing unnamed sources. It comes 10 days after a grand jury in the nation’s capital declined to indict in the case.
Pirro’s office would have to make a second attempt to win a grand jury indictment to proceed with the case, and, if NBC’s report is true, has evidently declined to do so.
While a federal prosecutor could bring a case in a different jurisdiction, NBC reported that “there have been no public indications that will happen.”
In addition toKellyand Slotkin, four other Democrats — Reps. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, Jason Crow of Colorado and Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania — were involved in the scandal.
The six appeared in a video released in November that called upon service members to disobey direct orders under the vague claim that they might be illegal.
The video, called “Don’t Give Up the Ship,” generated over 18.4 million views. It also provided plenty of airtime to the two Democratic senators who were the most prominent lawmakers in the video — in particular Kelly, who’s all but certain to at least explore a run for the presidency in 2028:
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.pic.twitter.com/N8lW0EpQ7r
