“The Trump administration tried and failed on Tuesday to secure an indictment in connection with a video featuring six Democratic lawmakers urging members of the military and intelligence communities not to comply with unlawful orders, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
It was not clear how many of the lawmakers the Trump administration attempted to indict, or if the failed attempt will be addressed in a future court hearing.
The indictment pursued by the office of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro is the latest example of the Justice Department targeting the president’s perceived political opponents. The government attorneys assigned to the case are political appointees, not career Justice Department prosecutors, according to a source familiar with the investigation.”

This is fundamentally fascist – the Trump regime attempting to use the power of the state to silence political opponents, in violation of the First Amendment.
The criminal Trump regime is precisely why the Framers ratified the First Amendment.
The Democratic lawmakers did nothing to justify an indictment; unlike Trump, they violated no laws.
