Donald Trump's potential AG pick threatens to put Letitia James' 'fat a-- in prison' if she doesn't back off president-elect

A candidate to head Donald Trump's Justice Department threatened New York Attorney General Letitia James that he would put her 'fat a-- in prison' if she continues her prosecution of the president-elect.

Mike Davis - a controversial right-wing lawyer and commentator - told journalist Benny Johnson he was ready to go to war for Trump against enemies like James who may use 'lawfare' against him.

James signaled on Wednesday she is not going to back down on her probes and lawsuits against Donald Trump as she vowed to fight against any potential 'revenge or retribution' from the former president.

'Listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that,' he said. 

Davis is reportedly in the running to serve as Trump's Attorney General or White House Counsel. 

James had previously won a $454million civil fraud judgment against the incoming president, after accusing him of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to get better loan and insurance terms. 

She targeted Trump's Westchester golf club and Seven Springs estate as properties she could seize to make the bond payment.

'I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,' Davis said. 'It's not going to happen again.'

'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,' Davis told Newsmax. 

He cited 18 U.S.C. § 241 — 'conspiracy against rights' — as the law that would stop James from going after 'political enemies.'

On Wednesday, Davis also said New York attorney general Letitia James should 'go to gulag.' 

Davis, who has been described by Politico as Trump's 'troll-in-chief,' has often spoken of sending journalists and political opponents to the gulag. 

The former president has since appealed the massive ruling, and appeal court judges had tough questions for New York prosecutors in September, signaling they may side with Trump in the case. 

The judges wanted to know why the penalties were set at almost half a billion dollars and who had been harmed in a case where neither side had lost money.

However, the court has not yet made any decisions in the case.

When asked about the case on Wednesday, James simply said she is 'not fearful of Donald Trump.'

The Trump-hating prosecutor declared she would not compromise the state's integrity or principles as she seeks to work with the new administration.

She admitted, 'we did not expect this result,' but insisted, 'we are prepared to respond to this result.

'And my office has been preparing for several months because we've been here before,' James said during a fiery news conference. 'We faced this challenge before, and we used the rule of law to fight back.

'And we are prepared to fight back once again, because as the attorney general of this great state, it is my job to protect and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law,' she said, adding that she 'will not shrink from that responsibility.'

She may need to deal with the likes of Davis if she does, as The Washington Post reported last month that Trump was considering combative lawyers who appear on TV for the top job at the Justice Department. 

Trump had reportedly told advisers and donors 'that his picks for the job were a mistake in the first term because they were weak or defied him.'

The president elect praised Davis at a campaign event in Colorado, saying: 'This guy is tough as hell... We want him in a very high capacity.'

Davis was chief council for Trump's judicial nominations during his first term.

The provocateur told DailyMail.com he is 'too charming to get confirmed as Attorney General.'

'I'd like to serve as the Viceroy,' he added.  

Davis was one of millions of Trump supporters celebrating his win on Wednesday. 

Trump was elected the 47th president, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the US Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.
