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.
They say this like its a bad thing...
Andrew Bailey
Missouri Attorney General
The ONLY AG that actually filed suits against the Biden admin for all their crap they were doing to Trump.
Woah, there you go!
I wish Sessions had taken that approach!
“Paxton is battle tested.”
I would take him as AG in a heartbeat.
Sounds like the right man for the job. All legally, meaning through the use of the court system. Isn’t that what the Democrats have been doing since Watergate?
I’d support Matt Whittaker.
I want the left to politically and emotionally, look like Rodney King after he got his physical beatdown for being a punk and drug addict. “Why can’t we all get along”? Only works if the criminals learn their lessons. Mike Davis for AG.

Texas needs Paxton, sorry. It is on the cutting edge of this battle to save the America. Without Texas, there is no making America great.
Deporting Hafiz Rashid is going to be glorious.
English must not be their 1st language. Apparently metaphor is beyond their reading comprehension level
Nope. Still has heart problems.
Vir Cotto?
pam bondi for attorney general... elon musk for transportation secretary...
I love the smell of leftard fear in the morning. 😆
Well, maybe. All I know is he was light on his feet….. kind of like Obama….
Probably true but I think Trump needs to play hardball with the senate on his cabinet picks this time around. Who wants to be on the outs with President Trump when the midterms roll around? I think he should threaten the sh#t out of them if they try to block his nominees.
