A Cracked Pot Is Always Losing

He seems nice:

In a series of interviews with conservative podcasters over the last week, conservative attorney Mike Davis -- a close friend and informal adviser to Attorney General Pam Bondi and other top Trump administration officials -- has claimed that the grand jury will consider whether to bring criminal charges against top Democratic figures that Davis claims have colluded over the last decade to impede Trump, beginning with the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election through the criminal cases against the president.

Those “top Democratic figures” would be:

Davis has suggested that top officials, including former Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, FBI Director Chris Wray and Special Counsel Jack Smith should be compelled to testify before the grand jury to answer questions about what Davis says is the politicized use of the legal system.

And the crime?

Davis has argued that the former Biden administration officials and others violated a section of federal law, known as 18 U.S.C. § 24,[sic] by conspiring to interfere with federally protected rights.

Created in response to a surge in violence during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War, the law has historically been used to protect the civil rights of Black Americans, though prosecutors have expanded it to apply to broader election-related and police-misconduct offenses.

Notably, Trump was accused of violating the statute after he allegedly sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election, though the case was dismissed after he won the 2024 election.

So, the right not to be nice? Because, what, you’re a rich, white man? That’s a new one on me. And they’re going to Florida because they don’t trust the D.C. grand juries anymore? This is just fucking nuts:

Davis claims that a wide array of actions -- including the FBI's investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Jan. 6 insurrection -- were coordinated efforts by Democrats to impede and ultimately imprison Trump.

Davis also argues the criminal and civil cases against Trump, purported issues with Trump's Secret Service protection ahead of two assassination attempts last year and the efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in 2024 could also be violations of federal law.

"They took the country to the break. They tried to bankrupt Trump for non-fraud. They tried to throw him in prison four times for non-crimes. They tried to take him off the ballot in Colorado and made it elsewhere unconstitutionally. They tried to take off his head when Joe Biden underfunded Trump's Secret Service protection, said he was the biggest threat to democracy and to put a bull's eye on Trump," Davis said on Friday on the Johnson podcast.

“Non fraud”? Does he mean the New York cases? The 14th Amendment case came out of Colorado, by state officials. Was that “manipulated” by the witnesses he wants to call to the grand jury? “Underfunded” Trump’s SS protection? Trump is his own worst enemy, but a massive national conspiracy is what’s really responsible?

First, it’s 18 USC 242:

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

I don’t know of the “rich white.guy” privilege in the Constitution or laws of the United States that protects Trump from criminal investigations, especially since he stole and tried to hide classified documents, and fomented a riot in a desperate attempt to overturn the results of a lawful election.

It should be noted that Mike Davis has nothing, officially, to do with the empaneling of this grand jury. He doesn’t work for the Administration. He’s just an adviser. He also seems nice:

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Davis said "We're going to put kids in cages. It's going to be glorious" and he threatened a "reign of terror" and to throw journalists into the "gulag." Though he has said that his extreme rhetoric is meant to troll the left. He also wrote that he wanted to “build a special gulag for leftwing white women. The laundry ward.” He also called for indicting President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and his brother James Biden prior to the pardons for the latter two.

Davis has been kicked off social media several times for "hateful conduct."

In 2024, The Washington Post notified him that it has his organization was not authorized to raise money in Virginia since August 2022, which he promised to correct.

After the 2024 election, Rolling Stone put him on their “Twelve Worst People in Trump’s Orbit” list.

The day after Trump was re-elected, he posted, “Here’s my current mood: I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall. (Legally, politically, and financially, of course.)”

In an X post on October 15, 2025, Davis referred to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as "George Soros' house slave".

In 2025 he posted a plan to get back at the Supreme Court justices for not ruling in line with MAGA. "The Supreme Court still has an illegal injunction on the President of the United States, preventing him from commanding military operations to expel these foreign terrorists," Davis wrote. "The President should house these terrorists near the Chevy Chase Country Club, with daytime release."

It’s also worth noting the facts here: a grand jury has been empaneled, to begin work in January. The US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida is not talking about it, because he can’t. This could be normal, course of business stuff. Davis is a cracked pot (and the reason Gorsuch got noticed for the Supreme Court; draw your own conclusions there). I’m sure what Davis is ranting about is what Trump wants to be true. But Trump is not the emperor of reality he thinks he is.

We’ll see if the Florida office wants to give Trump what he can’t have.
