Indeed so, old counterfeit Kelly did that, the gun-grabbing old Major
Tom clone.
'Key details regarding this situation:
The Incident: In November 2025, Kelly and five other veterans in Congress
released a video advising service members of their legal obligation to
disregard illegal orders.
The Accusations: President Trump labeled the video "seditious," called the
lawmakers "traitors," and suggested the behavior was punishable by death.
Retaliation & Lawsuit: Defense Secretary Hegseth formally censured Kelly for
"conduct unbecoming an officer," initiating actions to potentially reduce his
retirement rank. Kelly filed a lawsuit in early 2026, asking a federal judge
to declare these
actions unlawful and unconstitutional.
Legal Standing: A federal judge characterized the Pentagon's efforts against
Kelly as an "unprecedented attack on the free speech rights of military
veterans," noting the actions as an attempt to use a pension as leverage.

As of February 2026, no formal criminal charges of treason have been
filed against Senator Kelly, and a grand jury declined to indict the
lawmakers on sedition charges, BBC reports"
