FBI scheduling interviews with 6 lawmakers who encouraged military members to refuse 'illegal orders'

Congressmen are not protected from criminal investigation/prosecution.
Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Better read that again, champ.
 

Time to subpoena the communications of these suspects. If they conspired to cause a mutiny within the US military, they deserve to be severely punished.
What did they say that was not true? You would have a hard time convincing any judge for a subpoena based on what they claim.

I don't like it one but, but you cannot punish someone for telling the truth.
 
Dear Kash Patel, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Bite me!.

I don't work for you and will not be sitting for any "interview" with you.

Felling froggy? Jump.

Signed

The Senator
 
How did they violate the law by speaking the truth?
Depends.
If the text messages and e-mails demonstrate the collective intent of the Subversive 6 to cause servicemen to question and or refuse to obey legal orders, these people will go to prison.

The investigation will determine if there is sufficient evidence to obtain warrants to that effect.
 
Scheduling interviews? Why doesn't the FBI just show up at their house pounding on their door like everyone else?
  • Any of those six who served in the military are already in hot water.
  • The others should be checked out as seditionists and commies. Let's see the FBI command all of their contact lists, email, and phone records just as they did with the GOP.
Why?

A search warrant based on what alleged crime? You want a fishing expedition.

Depends.

So where is your evidence of that to authorize the search warrant?
 
Except they may not be detained as long as Congress is in session of traveling to a session.
While they attend a session of Congress, or travel to/from.
They could be detained while at home, and the protections do not apply to treason, felonies, or breaching the peace.
