One of the humiliations confronting the Biden Justice Department in its last days and New York Attorney General Letitia James is how to handle the manufactured criminal cases they are pushing against President Trump. The federal issue seems to have been solved Tuesday. Not only were the charges obviously bogus and brought by an arguably unconstitutionally appointed prosecutor, but the Department of Justice's policy is that it will not prosecute a sitting president.

This case is more difficult because the DOJ can't order a state to stop its prosecution of a president, though that would be uncharted waters; see What’s Next in Trump’s N.Y. Criminal Case After He Won the Election? - The New York Times. Even though that latter prosecution is at the local level, under New York law, the Attorney General has the authority to take over the case.

BREAKING: Judge Delays Donald Trump's Manhattan Case Sentencing Until After Election Today, Trump attorney Mike Davis used an interview on "The Benny Show" podcast to lay down the law to James and her flying monkeys.
Mike Davis has a well-earned reputation as a take-no-prisoners attorney who has successfully fought off the lawfare targeting Trump. A recent Politico article traced his transition, in the words of Steve Bannon:
Odds are that James will back down, as she's playing a very weak hand against overwhelming power. Still, it is refreshing to see that this incoming Trump team is not cowed by political opposition. Davis is rumored to be the front-runner for Attorney General. Whether this interview helps or hurts his case is unclear, but I hope it helps him. |
