Trump Attorney General Hopeful Vows to Drag Bodies Through the Street

Potential Trump AG Mike Davis made a horrifyingly violent threat to take revenge.

==============================================================

Potential Trump cabinet appointees are trying to get into the president-elect’s good graces in disturbing ways.

Mike Davis, a right-wing activist considered a leading candidate for Trump’s attorney general, on Wednesday threatened to (legally) “drag their dead political bodies through the streets” and burn them, referring to enemies of Trump and the right.

=============================================================

The violent threat came after Davis appeared to blame Democrats for the assassination attempts on Trump.

Davis, a former clerk for Justice Neil Gorsuch who calls himself “Trump’s viceroy,” is not likely to show any restraint in exercising retribution on behalf of the president. He’s already threatened special counsel Jack Smith, who oversaw the investigation and prosecution of Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election as well as his mishandling of classified documents, to “lawyer up.”

The fact that a legal troll like Davis is considered a front-runner to head the Justice Department reveals how many conservative lawyers Trump burned through during his first term and after his attempts to cling to power following his 2020 election loss. Many of these lawyers either want nothing to do with him now, or are facing disbarment and criminal charges for their efforts to help Trump. The lawyers who have stuck around are more MAGA true believers than top conservative legal minds.

These lawyers will be tasked with tearing down any legal obstacles to Trump’s agenda as well as that of his far-right allies. These include whatever checks on the presidency exist in law, and whatever regulations stand in the way of business leaders tied to conservatism. As Davis’s post demonstrates, they will also help to bring the full force of the DOJ against Trump’s enemies.

Even if Davis isn’t picked to be the next AG, he will undoubtedly be a part of Trump’s legal army, which will have a big agenda. There’s already talk of a mass pardon of January 6 rioters, and other Trump allies have enemies lists of their own. A plan to purge the federal workforce of those who would oppose him has already been devised, too. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, Trump faces few, if any, legal constraints, and we’re about to find out what still stands in his way.

Davis is more likely to be White House counsel or appointed legal advisor
Given his scathing commentary on podcasts I doubt he could pass cabinet approval muster

Great guy though

Bannon level realism and tenacity

And like Bannon

He has admitted he would never get confirmed. Sadly.

"(Legally, politically and financially, of course)"

gets translated to

"The violent threat came after Davis appeared to blame Democrats for the assassination attempts on Trump."

because that's what Leftist's do. May they continue to be sapped of power and influence.

And then put their heads on pikes as a warning to the next ten generations that political corruption comes at too high a price.

Sounds good to me.

The Democrats tried to kill President Trump - twice.

Yes, I want to see them dragged through the streets.

Too bad that is merely an overwrought metaphor. I will settle for prosecutions, convictions, and substantial jail time for various Democrats.

All according to existing laws which they blatantly violated.

I don’t remember this person noting concern about:

The most infamous Rahmbo story of them all is the one that begins with the dinner the night after Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. Among those present at the dinner table was ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, who watched while an overwrought and clearly exhausted Emanuel began ranting at a long list of Clinton “enemies.” As he shouted each name, he stabbed the table with his steak knife: “Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead!” Apparently, others joined in.

YES YES YES!!!! Mike Davis is EXACTLY who I named would be the ideal AG. He’s tough. He’s a fighter. He will prosecute all of those bad actors in the Deep State who broke the law over the last 8 years. He is exactly who we need.

Evidently people are too obtuse to read in context, he said “dead political bodies”. It is a euphemism, not actual physical bodies. Sheesh.

So he’s not a ‘hopeful’, is he?

Hafiz Rashid lies.

He said legally, politically and financially.

Same thing they did to Trump.
