Lawmakers in the Spotlight: FBI Wants to Talk to Democrats Who Advised Military Personnel

Six Democratic lawmakers are now in the FBI's crosshairs. They are being asked to sit down for interviews. These lawmakers had advised military personnel to refuse any orders they believed were illegal. This news comes after the Pentagon made a bold move. They threatened to recall Senator Mark Kelly, a Navy veteran, back to active duty. The Pentagon claims Kelly's social media posts were seditious. Other lawmakers involved include Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan. The lawmakers released a video last week. They expressed concerns about the Trump administration's actions. They believe the administration is breaking the law. The Pentagon has been ordering strikes on ships. These ships are said to be carrying suspected drug traffickers in Latin American waters. The Pentagon argues these strikes are justified. They claim the drug smugglers are terrorists. Kelly did not take the Pentagon's threat lightly. He called it an intimidation tactic. The FBI has not yet commented on the situation. This whole scenario raises questions about the balance of power. It also highlights the tension between the military and political spheres.
