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.
I got part way through this and thought “What leftist rag did this come from?”. Checked up top...”New Republic (i know) gave me a good chuckle...thanks.
The first and worst mistake Trump made in his first administration was appoint a milque toast AG, Jeff Session, that didn’t have his back.
Hopefully he’ll choose much better this time!
Hear, Hear!!
Bingo! Levin loves America, is smart, and tough.
Funny the New Republic had absolutely NO PROBLEM when they literally tried to do that to Trump AND his family!
Suck-it, time to live with the horror of the rules YOU created!
He’d make a good one.
(((YAWN))) The retards from both sides are all over the place this morning making death threats. Even Soros’s Ghettopotamus sistahs are going to bring hell with them after what we did to them during the election.
We need someone who quietly does these things, he needs to keep his mouth shut.
I noticed the headline removed the word ‘political’ from his comment. Not an expert on modern English for Gen Zero but I think you are supposed to say ‘literally’ whether you know what literally means or not when making an accusation such as the writer does here.
My first choice:
Matt Whitaker
My second choice:
Mark Levin
Sounds about right.
Never underestimate the corrupt MSM from exaggerating anything Trump or associates say. Have we not learned this?
Texas AG Paxton for AG, already been impeached by the majority of TX republicans and survived. This guy is the right guy for behind the scenes. With posts like that he doesn’t need dragged through confirmation hearings and he doesn’t have the political savvy to be a public figure. As with 99% of political, just keep your stupid mouth shut. Don’t say it l, just do it. For example, dont say you are going to change schools funding to exclude trans in sports, just put it in the budget and ignore anyone’s complaints. So much crap happens because there just isn’t enough time to build opposition to it.
Levin? Puss.
Hear, Hear!
I’d prefer someone with no family that the deep state can use as leverage.
This guy seems ok, but I’d prefer somebody a little more forceful.
“I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them,
and throw them off the wall.”
I know this is going to offend a lot of the milquetoast moderates but he’s absolutely right. Accountability is crucial.
America is on the brink. Culturally. Financially. Demographically. We don’t have the luxury of time. Republicans need to move with a sense of urgency. This is no time for wallflowers and pacifists.
Levin, Ramaswami, or Paxton.
I don’t have a list of potential AG’s, but I can supply a list of targets for whomever gets the job!
I really want to see some high profile charges brought, and some big names on trial.
There’s plenty of evidence out there to convict.
Jeff Sessions was a plant, both literally and figuratively..............
