President Donald Trump and members of his Administration have suggested that six Democratic politicians violated the law by urging members of the military and the intelligence community to refuse unlawful orders. But legal experts tell TIME that there was nothing illegal about the politicians’ message.

But legal experts say that nothing in the video was “seditious” or “illegal,” and that there is no basis for the Pentagon to investigate Kelly for participating in the video.

In an interview the following day, Trump said he was “not threatening” the lawmakers. “But,” he added, “I think they’re in serious trouble. In the old days, they would have [been] dead.”
