Six Democratic lawmakers, dubbed the 'Seditious Six,' are poised to engage in legal action against President Trump following a failed indictment attempt by the Department of Justice. These lawmakers—Reps. Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, and Chris Deluzio—had urged U.S. service members to resist illegal orders, citing their constitutional duty. Despite the DOJ's efforts, they were not indicted on criminal charges, which they view as an infringement on their rights and a misuse of the justice system.

Rep. Crow has been vocal about the failed indictment, asserting that it was an attempt to intimidate and silence them. He emphasized that the video in question was a reminder to fellow service members to uphold the law and the Constitution, dismissing the allegations against them. His remarks highlights a growing concern among the Democratic lawmakers regarding the perceived politicization of the DOJ under Trump's administration, which they claim is being used as a tool against political adversaries.

The Democrats are preparing for potential legal proceedings, with Crow mentioning that they have begun compiling a list of individuals and entities they believe may be culpable for misinformation and intimidation tactics against them. The situation brings to light the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Democratic lawmakers, particularly regarding issues of legality, constitutional rights, and the role of the Department of Justice.
