Some congressional Democrats and other former intelligence community officials managed to turn themselves into the victims over backlash about their video advising servicemembers to disobey "illegal orders" coming from the Commander in Chief. The whole issue is another Democrat stunt, because even Sen. Elissa Slotkin admitted there have been no "illegal orders":
Elissa Slotkin ADMITS Democrats lied about President Trump issuing illegal orders to the military:

ABC: "Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?"

But those Dems knew exactly what they were doing, and so did Republican Rep. Lisa McClain, who CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked about the "disobey illegal orders" video.
Blitzer and his co-host, who looked somewhat surprised at one point, were rendered speechless:

The enlistment oath says servicemembers must obey the orders of the President of the United States and other appointed officers and does not say "except orders somebody deems illegal."
You might not be surprised that the interview also contained at attempt on the part of CNN to equate Trump with Hitler:
BLITZER: During WW2, these Nazi officers were following the chain of command, obeying illegal orders and they slaughtered Jews during the Holocaust

LISA McCLAIN: We're a long way from the Nuremberg trials and the slaughtering of Jews. If you want to talk about the slaughtering… pic.twitter.com/gM0EGFlvrP
THIS. Is CNN. And they couldn't be more predictable.
