... remember, this super-duper USAF pilot who never encountered real air defense or first rate air force in his life (not that the USAF have anyone with such experience alive) before becoming an astronaut and then disgracing himself (apart from being a Democrat) with his famous quip that "Russian pilots cannot fly formation". But no matter how unpleasant this senator is, I doubt that there are grounds to prosecute him.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon’s investigation of Sen. Mark Kelly over a video that urges American troops to defy “illegal orders” has raised a slew of questions, and some criticism, from legal experts. Some say the Pentagon is misreading military law to go after Kelly as a retired Navy fighter pilot. Others say the Arizona Democrat cannot be prosecuted as a member of Congress. A group of former military prosecutors insists he did nothing wrong.
The fact that he USED to be an active officer and even the fact that his and other nutjob buddies' (from the Democratic Party) statement does reek of seditious intent, he did it as a civilian, granted confused and high on DNC's Kool Aid, but I really doubt that Pentagon has anything on him in legal terms. They can investigate whatever they want, but it is very difficult, in my humble opinion, to get anywhere with their investigation. Maybe just establishing the fact that no matter if you are a senator, general or astronaut, but it is not forbidden by the US Constitution to be an ass-hole, and Mark Kelly's rights to be one are protected.
