Who is the Man Leading the Color Revolution?
Born in Los Angeles in 1960, Norm Eisen attended Harvard Law, where he received his J.D. in 1991. He was a classmate of Barack Obama and served as an editor of the Harvard Law Review.
After law school, Eisen clerked for Judge Stephen Reinhardt on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, known for its ultra-leftwing jurisprudence.
He then co-founded the Washington, D.C., law firm Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, specializing in litigation, white-collar defense, and government investigations.
Eisen later served as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014 under Obama. Earlier, he was Special Counsel to President Obama for Ethics and Government Reform (“ethics”, lol).
He later became a Senior Fellow at — where else? — the Brookings Institution, where he focused on using U.S. tax dollars to destroy America through color revolutions, lawfare, and related tactics.
Here are 20 of the most troubling allegations about Eisen:
1. Orchestrating Over 180 Anti-Trump Lawsuits Through CREW: As co-founder of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Eisen ledhundreds of ethics complaints and lawsuits against the Trump administration, often perceived as partisan harassment that politicizes oversight and strains constitutional separation of powers. Fox News on Eisen’s anti-Trump role
2. Drafting Impeachment Articles Prematurely: Eisen reportedly drafted 10 articlesof impeachment against Trump a month before the Ukraine inquiry, suggesting a preemptive partisan strategy over a real investigation, undermining Congress’s constitutional oversight role. Politico on Eisen’s impeachment book
3. Serving as Special Counsel in Trump’s First Impeachment: As Democratic counsel, Eisen drove what critics call a politically motivated process, prioritizing removal over evidence, damaging bipartisan faith in impeachment as a constitutional safeguard. Some observers suggest Eisen was deeply involved in the genesis of the Ukraine hoax. PBS Frontline interview with Eisen
4. Authoring Color Revolution Manuals Targeting Trump: Eisen wrote guides on “legal resistance” and mass protests to overturn election results, framed as anti-Trump strategies, which critics say promote division and subvert democratic outcomes. Revolver News on Eisen’s color revolution role
5. Co-Authoring Brookings Report on Trump Obstruction: Contributed to a report accusing Trump of obstruction pre-Mueller, fueling partisan narratives and undermining presumption of innocence in American jurisprudence. Brookings report co-authored by Eisen
6. Representing FBI Agents in Anti-Trump Privacy Suits: Eisen defended FBI agents suing over leaks, seen as shielding Trump critics while aggressively pursuing him, raising selective justice concerns. Fox News on Eisen representing FBI agents
7. Collaboration with Mary McCord on Lawfare: Eisen’s partnership with McCord (ex-DOJ) on impeachments, J6, and lawsuits blurs branches, creating networks that favor opposition over justice. X post on Eisen-McCord ties
8. Hosting Chief Justice Roberts in Prague (Rumored Conflict): Rumors claim Eisen hosted John Roberts at his Prague residence for a week, posing a perceived conflict that could bias Supreme Court neutrality in Trump cases. American Thinker on Roberts-Eisen Prague stay
9. Personal Friendship and Travels with Roberts (Rumored): Alleged close friendship and travels with Roberts undermine judicial independence, especially amid Eisen’s anti-Trump activism, violating ethical norms. Revolver on Roberts-Eisen friendship
10. Ties to Judge Boasberg Through Networks (Rumored): Via McCord (her husband Sheldon Snook was in Roberts’ office, who appointed Boasberg), rumors suggest influence over judges in Trump cases, threatening bench impartiality. Eisen on knowing Boasberg for decades
11. Leading ‘Resistance’ Efforts Since 2016: Accused of masterminding ongoing opposition, including color revolutions, treating opponents as enemies and contradicting bipartisan comity. Obsidian on Eisen’s resistance role
12. Backing 14th Amendment Ballot Disqualification: Supported barring Trump from ballots under Section 3, criticized as unconstitutional overreach subverting voter will and due process. Newsweek on Boasberg, tied to Eisen efforts
13. Celebrating Trump’s New York Conviction: Publicly praised Trump’s conviction as “historic” and pushed for jail time, seen as vindictive rather than just, polarizing the legal system. Eisen on Boasberg ruling, akin to conviction celebrations
14. Engineering Rise of BLM/Antifa as Protest Tools: Allegedly mobilized racial justice groups to challenge election results, fostering chaos over dialogue and harming comity. X post on Eisen’s protest strategies
15. Rumors of Preparing Military Disobedience Arguments: Posts allege Eisen is crafting cases for military to defy Trump, risking constitutional crises and civilian control traditions. X on Boasberg contempt, tied to Eisen rumors
16. Promoting Russia Collusion Narratives: Pushed debunked Russia hoax andimpeachment claims, misleading public and eroding trust in institutions. Washington Post on Eisen’s book
17. Involvement in USAID Funding Scandal: Accused of ties to $17M misappropriation via family-linked NGO, raising corruption concerns in foreign aid. Congressional report on Eisen contributions
18. Behind Prosecution of Tina Peters: Linked to efforts prosecuting election official Tina Peters, seen as suppressing election integrity questions. X on Eisen and Peters
19. Lawsuits Against Elon Musk and X: Through CREW, targeted Musk over data practices, viewed as selective enforcement chilling speech. Carnegie on Eisen’s anti-Trump focus, extended to Musk
10. Coordinating Mass Protests and Lawsuit Barrages: Reports of organizing “shoutathons” and avalanches of suits against Trump policies, prioritizing disruption over bipartisan solutions and constitutional stability. X on Eisen’s behavior
What can be done about Eisen’s attack on the pillars of American law, politics and comity?
Here are eight suggestions that apply to many different stakeholders in this fight:
1. Filing an Ethics Complaint with State Bar Associations: Eisen is admitted to practice in jurisdictions like the District of Columbia and New York. Anyone believing he has violated rules (e.g., Rule 8.4 on misconduct or Rule 3.1 on frivolous claims) can file a confidential complaint with the relevant bar’s disciplinary office. If substantiated, this could lead to investigations, hearings, and sanctions ranging from admonishment to suspension or disbarment.
2. Seeking Court-Ordered Sanctions in Ongoing Litigation: In cases where Eisen represents parties or advises on suits (e.g., against political figures), opposing counsel could motion for sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or equivalent state rules if claims are deemed baseless or harassing. This might result in fines, dismissal of cases, or attorney fee awards to deter abuse of process.
3. Pursuing Civil Malpractice or Defamation Lawsuits: If Eisen’s actions as counsel cause demonstrable harm (e.g., financial loss or reputational damage through alleged “lawfare”), affected individuals could sue for legal malpractice, requiring proof of duty, breach, causation, and damages. Defamation claims might apply if public statements are provably false and malicious, though public figures face a high bar under New York Times v. Sullivan.
4. Motion for Disqualification from Cases: In litigation involving Eisen, parties could seek his removal as counsel if conflicts of interest exist (e.g., personal ties to judges or prior roles creating bias). Courts evaluate this under rules like Model Rule 1.7, potentially disqualifying him to preserve judicial integrity.
5. Congressional Oversight and Investigations: Politicians or committees (e.g., House Judiciary) could subpoena records or hold hearings if Eisen’s past roles (e.g., as Obama ethics czar or impeachment counsel) suggest misuse of federal resources. This might lead to referrals for further bar or DOJ review, as seen in historical probes like Watergate.
6. Criminal Referrals to the Department of Justice: If evidence emerges of serious violations (e.g., conspiracy to abuse legal processes under 18 U.S.C. § 241), administration officials could refer matters to the DOJ for investigation.
7. Ethics Reviews by Professional Organizations: Groups like the American Bar Association could informally review or opine on conduct, though without binding power. Former officials might face scrutiny under federal ethics laws (e.g., 5 C.F.R. § 2635) if post-government actions violate revolving-door rules.
8. Public Accountability Through Transparency Requests: Using FOIA, parties could request documents on Eisen’s activities in organizations like CREW or Brookings, potentially exposing improprieties for further action.
All of us can engage in one or more of these activities.
It is clear Eisen and his pals represent a roach-like infestation of the body politic. It is time to fumigate.
