United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro shocked her own prosecutors when she instructed them to seek indictments of six lawmakers, according to a new report.

The New York Times published on Wednesday new details about Pirro’s failed attempt to indict multiple Democratic lawmakers who earned President Donald Trump’s ire with a video urging military members to not follow “illegal orders.”

Department of Justice prosecutors reportedly failed to secure an indictment of the lawmakers with a grand jury rejecting the idea they had done anything illegal. In the video, the lawmakers, all of whom served in the military or intelligence community, warned of “threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.”

The lawmakers included in the video are: Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D- MI), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), and Chris Deluzio (D- PA).
