GOP Rep. Criticizes Defense Department Over Threat Of Court Martial Against Democratic Sens.: 'Amateur Hour'

Republican Rep. Don Bacon criticized the Department of Defense over its announced investigation into Democratic Sen. over a video in which he, along with other lawmakers, urged members of the military and the intelligence community to not comply with illegal orders from the government.

"Amateur hour once again" at the Department of Defense, Bacon said in a social media publication. "I thought the video by six Dems was unnecessary and foolish. But the threats of sedition charges and courts martial in response are also crazy. Let's show some common sense and restraint," he added.
