      The move was a brilliant move on behalf of the Democrats, baiting President Trump into the reaction he gave. The concern is the Democrats didn’t discuss what orders are illegal and could be a dog whistle to disobey certain orders that are legal orders or are orders impossible to properly discern the legality of. For example, transport of logistics materials in support of an operation against Venezuela or delivery of tactical supplies to an allied military occupying Palestinian land. The Democrats were intentionally ambiguous and that’s their cover and what make their baiting President Trump into a reaction such a brilliant move. The result may be propelling someone like Senator Kelly into a presidential contender if the administration attempts malicious prosecution against him.

    I’m sure that the 6 aren’t worried at all. If this angle is pushed by the white house it will basically become ‘is the president above the law?’ Which going by their recent legal performance is not something they want to pursue

    Each of these members of Congress should simply tell them to fuck off. If they do not fuck off, ask if they are under arrest or being detained etc, and if not then repeat the instruction for them to fuck off. This should generally work better for a member of Congress than it might for an average citizen.

    FBI has no authority to make sitting Congress members interview. They can tell them to get fucked.
