Trump AG Hopeful Threatens to Jail Letitia James in Profane Rant

Trump AG Hopeful Threatens to Jail Letitia James in Profane Rant


Trump-aligned lawyer and former Senate aide Mike Davis, who is reportedly on the shortlist for Attorney General in Donald Trump’s new administration, continued his crass insult tour of Democratic enemies Thursday—this time targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James.

A day after expressing a desire to “drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall (legally, politically, and financially, of course,” Davis appeared on right-wing serial plagiarist Benny Johnson’s online show to lash out at James, whose offices successfully litigated a civil case against Trump and his namesake organization for fraud.

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” he threatened. “Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

“So, think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump‘s constitutional rights, or any other American‘s constitutional rights,” he continued. “It’s not going to happen again.”

Now, he could have someone try to prosecute her, but unless it’s a real charge, a judge will throw it out.

And just because Dump orders them to do something, they can’t do it if it is illegal without potentially being charged themselves and possibly sued as well. It’s called due process.

... is about to be tested.

Good luck with that.

We're in an emerging fascist state.

We need to understand the situation accordingly.

The Supreme Court will just over-rule any attempt to curtail tsf power and his henchman, by the lower courts. The actual Constitution doesn't matter to them. Those 6 don't have any loyalty to their oaths or the duty to protect the rights of all citizens, not just the their sugar daddy billionaires.

I don't get why people keep denying the evidence and keep believing a system tsf has vowed to destroy will still protect them? To me it's false hope.

denigrates a high level officer of the court by calling her sweetheart and threatening to put her "fat ass" in jail. This is how low we have sunk.
