Right-wing lawyer Mike Davis upped his rhetoric against prosecutors who brought criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump on Monday, even going as far as to suggest which charge he thinks Jack Smith and other prosecutors could face.
Declaring that people who engaged in the filing of criminal charges against Trump “must face consequences,” Davis said a criminal probe under 18 USC §241 – conspiracy against rights – could be what’s in store for state and federal prosecutors.
“This was blatant lawfare and election interference by President [Joe] Biden and these Democrat prosecutors,” Davis said Monday on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast. “These Democrat prosecutors and witnesses and operatives and even judges who engaged in this unprecedented lawfare and election interference must face severe legal, political and financial consequences.”
Davis explained to Bannon and his viewers the federal charge of conspiracy against rights, which he said carries with it “many years in prison.”
“That’s when government officials conspire amongst themselves, and including private citizens like Andrew Weissman and Norm Eisen and others – when they conspire to violate the constitutional rights of Americans – you’re violating 18 USC §241,” Davis said. “When you politicize and weaponize intel agencies and law enforcement to go after your political enemies for non-crimes, that is the very definition of a violation of 18 USC §241.”
He added that Smith is “very familiar” with the statute, and further characterized Trump’s multiple prosecutions in state and federal court as “very destructive.”
“All of these Democrat operatives engaged in a criminal conspiracy against rights, and they must face severe consequences for this so it never happens again,” Davis said. He later added: “Again, nobody is above the law, lawyer up guys.”
