"should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American that the president and secretary of defense would abuse their power to come after me or anyone this way."
"Now they are threatening everything I fought and served for across twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy - all because I repeated something every service member is taught."
"Further official comments will be limited to preserve the integrity of the proceedings."
"If the Executive Branch were to move forward in any forum criminal, disciplinary, or administrative-we will take all appropriate legal action on Senator Kelly's behalf to halt the Administration's unprecedented and dangerous overreach,"
The Pentagon announced an investigation related to a video featuring Senator Mark Kelly after public accusations. Kelly said the probe should send a shiver down the spine of patriotic Americans and said it threatened his twenty-five years of service in the U.S. Navy for repeating what service members are taught. A Pentagon spokesperson declined further comment to preserve the integrity of the proceedings. Kelly's attorney Paul Fishman sent a letter to Navy Secretary John Phelan asserting no basis for proceedings and calling any attempt unconstitutional and an extraordinary abuse of power. A spokesperson said legal action will be pursued if the Executive Branch moves forward.
