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.

      And because the Dems know that if the Republicans became less of a threat, they’d have to start listening to their voters more than their owner donors to get elected.

        You’re not wrong. Democrats have had several opportunities to codify these things into laws.
