It wasn't even that. They clearly tell people to be on the legal side of the law and Constitution.

They should simply come out and (remind soldiers/sailors of the UCMJ) every year in every administration so that all will know the rules.

Why do it now and in Trump's administration? They had no bad intentions in doing this did they?
I suspect that this was “done now“ because these individuals (like the majority of the population) believe that Trump is violating the law off the coast of Venezuela, and they think that members of the US military should think about that.

Also because an elected lawmaker telling troops to follow the law that already exists (UCMJ) which prohibits following unlawful orders, is not sedition.
The implication of the messaging was oppositional to your innuendo.

You are claiming in such cases that Courts do not recognize innuendo or implication can be defamatory if it reasonably leads the public to a false conclusion about the target?

Opposition only to illegality.

You can try to change what they said all you want, but that still remains.

What is the problem with being opposed to illegality?

it is not.

It's literally what they said.

You're trying to imply an obtuse result, still, ignoring their words.

Are we now shifting the conversation from (a) whether the tweet was criminal to (b) Trump filing some hypothetical civil tort/defamation lawsuit against its authors?

Talk about your mobile goal posts.

Like pedophilia?

Two childcare facilities are in competition.
The owner of one places a sign in the public space in front of his competitor's location saying

"BEWARE!
PEDOPHILIA is illegal!
Get PEDOPHILES out
of this Day Care business!"

The sign does not say there actually are pedophiles in the business.
It "simply says" get them out if they are there.
None the less it destroys the business.

Apparently, we all HAVE completely moved the goal post in this discussion.

Point of interest. That normally happens when someone implicitly concedes that they lost the original argument.

I already have. How about this time you go find the full text of their PSA and we can nitpick it together.

I’ve no idea

I’m not the poster who keeps raising the issue of civil liability for defamation in a thread discussing the question of whether Kelly is guilty of the crime of sedition.

So now you are claiming Courts do not recognize innuendo or implication in criminal cases?
