Interesting that you think Senators can stand for sedition and
suffer no penality.

Show us the Trump prosecution for this "sedition".

And now you're wandering away mumbling again. The military is
holding Kelly to its higher standards.

No finding of "sedition", that is just right wing defamation.

No finding has been made yet. The first step is a letter of censure.
If Kelly admits he was an idiot and apologizes, things could stop there.

If Kelly decides continuing to be an idiot running his mouth is the way to
go, an Article 32 hearing could be convened unless he provides a written waiver, or higher authority determines it's not required prior to
referring him to a general court-martial.

They could really stack a pile of charges if they wanted to. 88, 94, 117,
134. The fact that he's a politician is irrelevant. Same goes for Tim
Walz.

Art. 88. Contempt toward officials
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words
against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of
Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of
Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State,
Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present
shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Art. 94. Mutiny or sedition
(a) Any person subject to this chapter whou
(1) with intent to usurp or override lawful military authority,
refuses, in concert with any other person, to obey orders or otherwise do
his duty or creates any violence or disturbance is
guilty of mutiny;
(2) with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of lawful
civil authority, creates, in concert with any other person, revolt,
violence, or other disturbance against that authority is guilty of
sedition;
(3) fails to do his utmost to prevent and suppress a mutiny or
sedition being committed in his presence, or fails to take all
reasonable means to inform his superior commissioned officer or
commanding officer of a mutiny or sedition which he knows or has
reason to believe is taking place, is guilty of a failure to suppress or
report a mutiny or sedition.
(b) A person who is found guilty of attempted mutiny, mutiny,
sedition, or failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition shall
be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial
may direct.

Art. 117. Provoking speeches or gestures
Any person subject to this chapter who uses provoking or
reproachful words or gestures towards any other person subject to
this chapter shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Art. 134. General article
Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders
and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the
armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the
armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons
subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of
by a general, special, or summary court-martial, according to the
nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion
of that court. As used in the preceding sentence, the term
ocrimes and offenses not capitalo includes any conduct engaged in
outside the United States, as defined in section 5 of title 18, that
would constitute a crime or offense not capital if the conduct had
been engaged in within the special maritime and territorial
jurisdiction of the United States, as defined in section 7 of title 18.
