Senator leading the charge against commander in chief has very telling answer
With controversy raging over Democrats urging the U.S. military and intelligence community to refuse to obey “illegal orders” from President Trump, the Democrat senator who is leading the charge that Trump calls “sedition at the highest level” “punishable by death” was asked point-blank Sunday if any illegal orders have been issued by the commander in chief.
On ABC’s “This Week” broadcast, anchor Martha Raddatz asked U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., who is a former CIA officer: “Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?”
“To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal,” Slotkin responded, “but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela.”

As WorldNetDaily reported, Trump took to Truth Social late Saturday night to blast Slotkin and her Democrat colleagues suggesting the chain of command be broken.
“THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE!” Trump exclaimed.
“IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!”
Slotkin told ABC: “He’s trying to get us to shut up because he doesn’t want to be talking about this,” Slotkin said. “In fact, I would argue that one of the things that he’s been doing by repeating it and talking about it is trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, which were the [Jeffrey] Epstein files and then the economy.
