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.

This guy seems ok, but I’d prefer somebody a little more forceful.

Exactly, enough with the metaphors, we need real action :)

“Rahm 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.”

Very dramatic. Remind me, he was actually a ballerina also, wasn’t he?

Obtuse? Euphemism? Pretty big words, for a dumb Trumper.

The educated Democrats know what he means. He wants a bloodbath!

It wasn’t even violent. He said he only meant it politically.

No what that libtard skunk Cathy Griffin did, that was violent.

I agree, and don’t think he will make that mistake again.

Watch Levin’s hands. Unfortunately, he is starting to get the trembles. Don’t think his health will allow him.

Revenge? Why would anyone need to seek revenge? Did you guys do something that would warrant taking revenge?

He needs a new lawyer. This AH should not be saying things like that.
Seems he’s better qualified as a dem op.

While we’re at it I’d like to see Ted Nugent running the ATF.

Liberals never think very far into the future, like next month.

When they create rules that benefit themselves, they never consider the possibility that those same rules could someday be used against them.

When Newt Gingrich and his crew took over the House for the first time in over 40 years in 1995, the Dems howled and screamed about the rules they themselves had created to stifle any opposition by the Republicans for four decades..............

No need to drag those who were involved, planned or aided the two assassination attempts, or those who were involved in the fraudulent 2020 electon of ChiComjoe, or those who were involved in the numerous acts of treason during the Biden kakistrocacy.

Just get them tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly hanged for treason and leave their carcasses to rot off the noose.

And have the transcripts of their trials taught in high school civics courses.

Of course, they took it out of context.

But even with his disclaimer, it wasn’t a smart thing to say knowing how the left deliberately distorts everything the non-left says.

All those who broke laws to destroy Trump should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
