Grand Jury's generally give the administration the benefit of the doubt. Seems there was no doubt here. Innocent.

TV lawyer Hamilton Burger loses another.

No crime there !

They say a grand jury will “indict a ham sandwich,” but Trump still couldn’t get one to bite on indicting six Democrats over a 90-second video reminding troops they must refuse unlawful orders. Prosecutors under loser U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro took the shot anyway…and the grand jury flatly declined, making this look like political intimidation dressed up as “law and order.”

It's called politics.

I lean to the right and I could have told them...there was no law broken.

Another loss for Trump. The American people who have good sense understood that these democrats were simply stating the law.

Grand jury declines criminal charges against 6 Democrats who urged military to reject illegal orders, multiple sources say​

A federal grand jury on Tuesday refused to indict six congressional Democrats who drew President Trump's ire last year by taping a video telling members of the military that they must reject "illegal orders," according to three sources familiar with the matter, including one within the Justice Department.

The Democratic lawmakers are the latest Trump foes that the Justice Department has sought criminal charges against, following former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. After the lawmakers' video was posted in November, the president called their comments "seditious" and demanded that they be "ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL."

I'm surprised they could find any career people to present the case to the grand jury.

Of course, even the low bar of getting half the jurors to be half sure there was a crime, wasn't even met.

Knew this was coming, and this was a civilian grand jury. A grand jury can ask anything they want. 5 will get you 10, they asked what the military reg said. Pete can forget about a courts-martial board made up by regulation to be O6 and above. Those guys have seen the regulation half their lives, and won't go along with it either.

It's the District of Colombia. What else to expect from a jury pool that is over 90% Democrat?

The DOJ is lawless. Just a revenge arm for the Felon.

They go against DOJ policy, which is to only seek an indictment if they have enough evidence (beyond a reasonable doubt) to convince a jury.

Your a hack !

While the DOJ rarely fails to secure an indictment—often cited as succeeding over 95% of the time—recent, highly publicized instances in late 2025 showed rare failures.

The DOJ failed to obtain indictments against Letitia James in Norfolk, Virginia (Dec. 4) and Alexandria, Virginia (Dec. 11), following an initial indictment dismissal.

In another instance, the DOJ failed three times to get a felony indictment in an FBI assault case.

The U.S. attorney's office in Washington, DC failed to secure an indictment against six Democratic members of Congress who made a video l

troops know they are supposed to ignore illegal orders. The Democrats stirred trouble as they could not site any specific illegal orders that were being given so the Democrats are being exposed for the simple fact they were undermining the chain of command from the Commander-in-Chief.

Right, they simply re-stated the obvious. You can't prosecute someone over that.
