“ #Trump is using the #FBI as a tool to intimidate & harass Members of #Congress,” a group of 4 #Democratic #House members said in a stmnt Tues. “Yesterday, the FBI contacted the House & #Senate Sergeants at Arms requesting interviews.”
#Michigan Sen #ElissaSlotkin, 1 of the 6 Democrats in the video, told reporters Tuesday that “last night the counterterrorism division at the FBI sent a note to the members of Congress, saying they are opening what appears to be an inquiry against the 6 of us.”
It would mark the 2nd investigation tied to the video, coming a day after the #Pentagon said it was reviewing Sen #MarkKelly (D-AZ) over potential violations of #MilitaryLaw (also bullshit). The #FBI & Pentagon actions come after #Trump accused the lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH” in a social media post.

Sen. Slotkin said #Trump “is attempting to use the #FBI to scare us.”
“Whether you agree with the video or don’t agree with the video, the question to me is: is this the appropriate response for a president of the United States to go after & seek to weaponize the federal government against those he disagrees with?”
