Kelly’s Lawyer Urges DOJ to Halt Second Grand Jury in Lawmakers’ Anti-Order Video

TL;DR Summary
Sen. Mark Kelly’s attorney urged the DOJ not to seek a second indictment against six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video telling service members they can refuse illegal orders, arguing there’s no factual or legal basis for retrying and citing First Amendment protections plus a federal judge’s ruling against penalizing Kelly; the first DOJ attempt in February produced no indictment due to lack of probable cause.
