Following President-elect Donald Trump's decisive win, Mike Davis threatened legal action against NY Attorney General Letitia James for her continued legal pursuits against Trump.
In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, where Donald Trump emerged overwhelmingly victorious, tensions continued to escalate on the political front.
Breitbart reported that Mike Davis, a prominent conservative lawyer and potential future U.S. Attorney General, issued a stark warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding her ongoing legal actions against the newly re-elected President.
Davis, during interviews on The Benny Show podcast and with Newsmax on Wednesday, was vehement in his opposition to what he perceives as James's politically motivated actions against Trump. He accused the New York Attorney General of "weaponizing" the law in a bid to thwart the president.
"Listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. And I promise you that," Davis declared in a charged message to James.
His comments have sparked widespread controversy, highlighting the intense political divide and raising questions about the legal boundaries of political retribution.
Davis's threats are rooted in his belief that James's actions could violate 18 U.S. Code § 241, a statute concerning conspiracy against rights, showcasing a potential legal battle that could have significant implications. His warning was clear: "We're not messing around this time."
Despite the overwhelming election results, Letitia James expressed her determination to continue her office's legal actions against Trump.
"We did not expect this result, but we are prepared to respond to this result, and my office has been preparing for several months. We are prepared to fight back once again," James stated, indicating no retreat in her legal strategy against the President.
This ongoing battle between the state official and the President-elect is not just a legal drama but a focal point of the nation's broader political conflicts. Davis alleges that James's pursuits are not just unwarranted but explicitly illegal, framing her efforts as a personal vendetta under the guise of law enforcement.
During his fiery discourse, Davis outlined two key arguments he believes support his claim against James. First, he predicts that her actions against Trump will be overturned on appeal by even those judges appointed by Democrats. Secondly, he pointed out her potential infringement on constitutional rights, which could land her in significant legal trouble if pursued by the anticipated Trump administration justice department.
He minced no words in his criticism and speculative legal consequences, stating, "And I can imagine that the Trump 47 Justice Department is not going to have any patience for this Democrat lawfare over the next four years."
In response to his comments and the potential legal implications, there have been various reactions from the legal and political communities, pondering the appropriateness and potential outcomes of such bold declarations from a figure closely aligned with the incoming administration.
Davis, founder of the Article III Project, is known for his conservative stance and close alignment with Trump's policies and administration.
His consideration for the role of U.S. Attorney General only intensifies the scrutiny of his statements and the conceivable influence he could wield shortly.
The public's reaction to these developments varies widely, with Trump supporters celebrating the firm stance against what they see as judicial overreach, while critics fear the onset of a more divisive and retaliatory political environment under Trump's second term..
