Who is Norm Eisen? The Legal Hatchet Man Behind the Anti-Trump ‘Color Revolution’ [just sued Musk]
X ^ | 2/17/2025 | @jacktronprime

Norm Eisen ... is a political operative who has spent his career using the legal system to target conservatives—especially Donald Trump. He is also an expert on color revolutions. Let’s break it down.

Norm graduated Harvard Law School in 1991, where he met his good friend Barack Obama. During his time there, he also served as the Assistant Director of the Anti-Defamation League and a research assistant to his teacher Alan Dershowitz.

Norm Eisen co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a so-called "watchdog" group that claims to fight corruption. Sounds good, right? But here’s the catch:

Under Eisen’s leadership, CREW overwhelmingly targeted Republican officials while ignoring Democratic corruption.

It worked hand-in-hand with leftist media to push narratives that undermined GOP figures.

Critics have called it a “Democrat attack dog” rather than a true ethics organization.

Eisen didn’t just study law—he learned how to weaponize it.

CREW is the organization that sued to have Trump removed from the ballot in Colorado in 2024.

Here is the link to the thread I did on their financial backers https://x.com/jacktronprime/status/1740483869239857479

Obama brought Eisen into his administration as Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform in 2009.

Eisen helped craft one of the strictest lobbying bans in U.S. history—but did it really curb corruption?

Many argue that it was selectively enforced, disproportionately targeting conservatives while allowing key Democratic allies to continue their influence-peddling.

...

Eisen’s role wasn’t about stopping corruption—it was about controlling who gets accused of it.

From 2011-2014, Eisen served as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, a country battling political corruption.

His mission?

Promote “anti-corruption” reforms that just so happened to target conservative and populist leaders.

Use legal institutions to undermine nationalist political movements in Europe.

Strengthen ties between U.S. officials and left-wing NGOs meddling in foreign politics.

datarepublican is a great follow on X!

Hello Mr. Eisen,

You have a long history with NGOs—Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute, a tenure at the Anti-Defamation League, and most notably, founding the States United Democracy Center (EIN 861704152).

Your organization boasts an impressive roster:

He's getting the spotlight;

This video, created last year as part of a YouTube series by @NormEisen's States United Democracy Center to promote election integrity, has already garnered 30 times the views it received on their official YouTube channel—and the number keeps growing.

X has done more to protect… https://t.co/bsiTjwIumm— DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) February 17, 2025

Some of these folks apparently had gravy jobs that paid well above what they were worth. That’s a dangerous position to be in.

Jeff Carlson documenting more on Eisen

Most are aware of Norm Eisen but not everyone is aware of just how pervasive Eisen (and his legal attacks) have been - and how he's weaved his way through all the major events of the last eight years.

After Ben Wittes first invoked the use of Lawfare against Trump (a month before the 2016 election), Eisen responded by ramping up his legal efforts at Brookings - and soon became the effective outside legal counsel for Mueller’s special counsel investigation. Eisen even developed specific legal strategies for Mueller to use.

Before Mueller's report was even released Eisen shifted seamlessly to impeachment counsel for House Dems - where he drafted ten different articles of impeachment against Trump. All of which were written a month before Pelosi announced an official impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Eisen continued his work - re-aligning with CREW (he was co-founder). Eisen also participated in and directed pre-election wargames that mysteriously predicted the election outcome with eerie precision.

Eisen was also working with another longtime collaborator, Michael Podhorzer, on Dem efforts in the 2020 election. Podhorzer has been called the Architect of the 2020 election.

Eisen then moved on to seemingly direct all the legal cases against Trump. Eisen appears to have written (on background) many of the drafts for Fani Willis - and developed many of the strategic attacks for Jack Smith.

It’s not us saying this. Eisen’s published multiple volumes on each section I’ve mentioned through Brookings Institute whee he’s a senior fellow.

Eisen’s also directly tied in - and working with - Mary McCord and her lawfare group at Georgetown . They reportedly meet weekly by phone - and their group includes all the msnbc legal talking heads.

A known area of specific focus is restricting Trump's use of the Insurrection Act to quell violent protests & riots.

Eisen also has a new working group called State Democracy Defenders Action acting in conjunction with his lawfare partners and most of the media’s legal talking heads. And it looks like they're trying to push a Color Revolution in response to Trump’s new presidency.

Eisen has recently been bragging on MSNBC about his role in getting an activist judge to temporarily rule against DOGE.

So beyond the obvious questions surrounding Eisen, who has been paying for all these legal attacks?


Anyone got a helicopter?
