Hi, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York. Donald Trump's vengeance and retribution campaign

has a new target, six of them actually. The lawmakers who served our country honorably and

bravely and dared to tell members of the United States military, something that would

in normal times be totally normal and totally obvious, that it is their duty to refuse to

carry out any illegal orders. This afternoon, one of those lawmakers, Senator Alyssa Slokin of

Michigan, who before becoming a member of that body, served as a CIA

analyst. And as a CIA analyst, she went to Iraq. She also served in the Pentagon during both

the Bush and Obama presidencies. She today announced that she believed she is under investigation

by the FBI's Counterterrorism division because she appeared in that

video that has clearly sent Donald Trump into some sort of rage. Donald Trump saying that what

she did was, quote, punishable by death. In fact, a source familiar tells us that the FBI is now

working to schedule interviews with Slotkin and the five other Democrats who appear in that

video, urging U.S. service members simply to not comply with any illegal order. The source

telling MS now that the FBI has contacted Capitol Police to try to schedule these interviews.

Ahead of that news, FBI director Cash Patel was asked about the video. Here's what he said.

Democratic lawmakers released a video calling on military personnel to defy illegal orders.

President Trump weighed in and called it a seditious behavior. When you saw this one went through your

head? What goes through my head is the same thing that goes through my head in any case.

Is there a lawful predicate to open up an inquiry and investigation, or is there not?

And that decision will be made by the career agents and analysts here at the FBI.

Is the FBI getting involved?

Based on the fact that is an ongoing matter, there's not much I can say.
