This is what the article should’ve been titled. A grand jury in Washington D.C. did not indict Senator Mark Kelly for his role in a video aimed at members of the U.S. military. The article mentioned that there were other cases where a grand jury in the nation’s capital did not return an indictment sought by the U.S. government. What the article leaves out is that the fact that population of Washington D.C. predominantly votes Democrat. These are the same folks who make up the population from which Washington DC juries are formed.<\/p>\n

Slotkin, a former CIA analyst who represents Michigan, said late Tuesday that she hopes this ends the Justice Department’s probe.<\/p>\n

“Tonight we can score one for the Constitution, our freedom of speech, and the rule of law,” Slotkin said in a statement. “But today wasn’t just an embarrassing day for the Administration. It was another sad day for our country,” she said.<\/p>\n

Kelly, a former Navy pilot who represents Arizona, called the attempt to bring charges an “outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackies.”<\/p>\n

“Donald Trump wants every American to be too scared to speak out against him,” Kelly said in a post on X. “The most patriotic thing any of us can do is not back down.”<\/p>\n

In November, the Pentagon opened an investigation into Kelly, citing a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary for possible court-martial or other punishment. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has censured Kelly for participating in the video and is trying to retroactively demote Kelly from his retired rank of captain.<\/p>\n

The senator is suing Hegseth to block those proceedings, calling them an unconstitutional act of retribution. During a hearing last week, the judge appeared to be skeptical of key arguments that a government attorney made in defense of Kelly’s Jan. 5 censure by Hegseth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
