The FBI is attempting to schedule interviews with the six Democratic members of Congress who made a video saying troops should not obey any illegal orders, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

The FBI would conduct these interviews on behalf of the Justice Department, and it is unclear when the interviews would be held amid the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, the sources said.

Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the six Democratic lawmakers in the video, said the "FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry" into her.

"The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet. He uses legal harassment as an intimidation tactic to scare people out of speaking up," Slotkin said in a post on X on Tuesday.

1. Once again, t-the rump, sux...he is beyond evil...

t-rump is one sick MF...

2. Tell them to F off. You

can come to me and I'll bring the media and my lawyer. See you soon Kash and bring your girlfriend.

3. Each and every one of those 6 should tell Kash's agents to fuck right off

and refuse to talk to them, or if they do decide to talk to the FBI, their first question should be, "am I being accused of a crime?
If so, then I invoke my 5th Amendment right and any questions can be relayed to my lawyer, otherwise, take a long walk off of a short pier".

9. THIS

4. Is this why Kash is on the outs? Not getting the job done? /nt

[BadgerKid]

5. Reminding people of the law isn't subversion of the law.

It’s not like mentioning jury nullification to a jury.

[BOSSHOG]

6. And what pray tell would the FBI chat about?

Absolutely nothing of substance. That is the makeup of this gang of garbage. BUT, let us segue to a heaping helping of EPSTEIN while kegsbreath delves into the nuances of the UCMJ and finds nothing about he must be obeyed unconditionally. A breathtaking update will soon be provided by trumps rapidly aging carolyin.

7. If there is a professional in the bunch...

... as much will come of it as the secret service interview of Comey for posting a photo of an 8647 sea shell display as a "death threat"

You just can't make a bad act out of simply capturing an "impeach 47" message, or of a video summarizing the law.

8. I hope they tell them to fuck off

[moonshinegnomie]

10. tell them to fuck off

short simple and to the point

[JPK]

11. Wait...

For the subpoena.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

12. Even with a subpoena, they have to show up but they don't have to answer any questions,

which is what I'm hoping they do, but I don't think it'll get that far, it's already backfiring badly on AG Blondi and Pedonald.

I would imagine you already know this.

[Bob_in_VA]

13. No, the best response would be to

meet with the agent(s), hand him/her/them a copy of the UCMJ opened to the page with the relevant Article (92?), tell the person holding the UCMJ to read it out loud then ask "exactly what did I do or say that isn't exactly what you just read aloud?" Then tell them to leave. Oh, and do it with the press present.

[Boo1]

14. DOJ trying to trap them into saying something

that they can prosecute.

Tell them to fuck off.

[SunSeeker]

15. Sickening that Kash Patel was able to find FBI agents willing to do this.
