Here We Go: Navy Recommends Punishment For Sen. Kelly, DoW Confirms It Could Happen
Anyone waiting for the U.S. military to finally address whether there will be real, lasting consequences for former servicemembers or intelligence personnel tied to that outrageous “illegal orders” video — the one released by six national Democrat lawmakers — may be getting closer to an answer.
As most USA Journal readers know, Arizona’s senior senator Mark Kelly was one of the lawmakers featured in that disgraceful video — and he’s the one the Pentagon zeroed in on for a review over “serious allegations of misconduct.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued a memo in late November directing the Navy to dig into Kelly’s actions and deliver a full report with findings and recommended consequences. And as we’ve already noted, this may only be the starting line for the bad news coming toward the so-called “Seditious Six.”
And now…here we go.
The Department of War confirmed Thursday that Navy leadership has completed its report — and it is now in the hands of the branch’s General Counsel, who will determine what punishment, if any, is appropriate for the retired naval captain. A department official told The Hill the review is underway, marking the first real sign that consequences for Kelly and his cohorts may finally be on the table:
The publication also reached out to the Copper State senator for comment — and what they got back was a canned, dismissive statement from a Kelly spokesperson. Readers can judge for themselves just how seriously he’s taking allegations this grave:The U.S. Navy has submitted its report on the potential punishments for Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) over a recent video where he and other Democratic lawmakers told U.S. service members to disobey “illegal orders.”
The report, which was ordered by the [War] Department and referred to the Navy, was sent to the Pentagon’s Office of General Counsel, “where they are providing a legal review and input,” a department official told The Hill on Thursday.
More from The Hill:
Kelly was never contacted or notified about the report and “it sure as hell won’t stop him from doing his job representing Arizona, whether that is voting today to lower health care costs or making sure our service members have what they need to do a very difficult job,” the spokesperson said, adding that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump “could do themselves a big favor and learn about our country’s history, the Constitution and the rule of law.”
Anyone who has watched Sen. Kelly’s behavior since that disgraceful Democrat video — the one openly encouraging U.S. service members to ignore lawful orders from their commander in chief — won’t be shocked by his latest non-response. This is exactly the posture he’s taken from day one: pretend it’s no big deal, wave away the seriousness, and hope the media runs cover.
