Trump AG Prospect Warns Letitia James: 'We Will Put Your Fat Ass In Prison'

Summary

Mike Davis, a Trump adviser and possible nominee for attorney general, issued a threatening warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for business fraud, not to continue her legal actions against him in his second term, threatening to put her in prison.

Davis’s inflammatory remarks, including personal insults, come as James has vowed to defend Americans against any unconstitutional actions by the new administration.

Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has previously suggested punishing journalists and Trump’s political opponents harshly, though it’s often unclear when he’s serious.

Trump has hinted at a significant role for Davis in his administration.

First they came for…
Fuck it, you want this.
- I get where you're coming from, but I don't and voted against it. And tried to get as many people to join me as I could. I tried.
  
  Only so much you can do when the majority of the country actively wanted a nightmare.
  
  That’s the most disheartening part for me. I mailed mine in early and tried to convince everyone around me that not voting was worse. Well, this is what we get
  
  So did my family...can't help ppl that don't want it I guess. I do love everyone trying to calm the ppl that will be affected by Chumps BS tho. Hit the same as "thoughts and prayers" honestly.
  
  I also voted 🗳️. 🖖🫡
  
  It's hard to motivate people to show up when the platform has been "it puts the neoliberal on its skin or else it gets the Trump (again)" for 8y. Couldn't we have talked jobs and material improvements for the lower and middle class or something?
  Edit: if anyone's curious how the Democrats lost this election just scroll down this comment tree. Instead of asking how we can do better everyone's consumed with finger pointing and "you deserve this!" as if we just shame our own voters enough we'll surely win next time. Take a beat and really think about this: what do you do to win a popularity contest? If you lose the popularity contest how do you do better next time? It's not this.
- Calvin and Hobbes, Harvey dent?
  
  Close. Arthur Dent from Hitchhikers Guide.
  Two of my favourite characters that have to put up with… people like Calvin and Ford.
Very professional and normal, not fascist at all.
- This is the same guy who, earlier in the week, tweeted that he wanted to drag Democrat politician's "bloody, beaten bodies" through the street.
  
  He either has an urge to become Sisyphus or have a scarab for his spiritual animal for how he likes dragging stuff around. May he become one!
- *Legally
THOUGH IT IS OFTEN UNCLEAR WHEN HE'S SERIOUS????????
Can we just have a tiny little fucking bit of real journalism for one godamn second?
- If you thought journalism was bad before, when they were only compromising their standards for money, just watch now that it’ll be money and threats.
  
  Plata o plomo.
Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He's publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.
If someone makes threats you have to assume they’re serious and not just wave it away as “unclear”.
- This is like when the State finally reveals that a domestic abuse victim had actually already contacted their local police force a dozen times before it was too late.
Disgusting. Shameful behavior.
It's a good reminder to all of us. The law is for us to follow, not for rich people or politicians. They can do whatever they want and get away with it.
- For the in-group, the law protects but does not bind. For the out-group, the law binds but does not protect.
- Gaetz over there like what? Is it possible? GOP: nah, we'll protect you.
Only 220 more weeks of this! I'm sure it'll be fine! ^help
- I guess you refer to the next election? I hope there will be one
and of course, she will politely, democratically, allow him to continue
This is the exact Federal terror that all those state militias are always training for so that they can defend the Innocent and righteous...!
Sooooo, where are they, to defend this judge?
