Trump Calls It Treason — But Was The Democrats' 'Refuse Illegal Orders' Video Wrong?

Was it appropriate for members of Congress to release a video urging military personnel to refuse illegal orders? That's today's Smerconish.com poll question...While President Trump’s fiery response suggesting the Democrats in the video be tried for treason grabbed headlines, Michael explores the deeper issue — was the video itself a political provocation or a necessary act of principle? Hear Michael’s take, and insights from a piece written by Retired Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham, now a professor at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, who argues the lawmakers may have “done more harm than good.” (Programming Note: Michael interview Lt. Col. VanLandingham in a podcast episode being released later today!)
