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.

It is a bad thing if he expects to be confirmed. Like it or not, there are still RINOs in the Senate. He can think it, but saying it is unwise.

he doesn’t have to be confirmed, Trump need only appoint him temporarily as acting attorney general. Trump did that almost exclusively near the end of his first term

Paxton is my thinking.

First order of business spring every incarcerated J6'r. Then indict everyone on that committee who prosecuted the American protesters who were exercising their Constitutional rights, and who, with the aiding and abetting of FBI plants, were made into America's first political prisoners.

Nominations would be fun, but the most important item he mentioned was “financial”.

They forced our people to be destroyed by legal fees, and if you go after them directly they are reimbursed their legal fees by the govt since they are govt employees.

I am glad this guy and others will be focused on financially ruining the targets. It will require creativity, but as long as the goal is understood, I have confidence they will find a way.

And again ALL CANDIDATES FOR CABINET POSITIONS MUST BE PEOPLE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. If you know them, they are Swamp.

"We need someone who quietly does these things, he needs to keep his mouth shut."

Definitely! There was and is too much talk and ideas. Don't telegraph when and where what is coming.
