This is not going to be a surprise for regular CTH readers; however, Politico is outlining how a group of Lawfare ideologues meet every Friday to discuss their constructed legal filings and the next week of attack angles against President Donald Trump.
In essence, the core group inside the meeting are what Christine Blasey-Ford called the “beach friends” when discussing who constructed the legal avenues for the ridiculous attack against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
As we have noted for the past several years, it’s this same group of Lawfare ideologues, mostly former DOJ administrators and lawyers, who are behind every anti-Trump effort. The primary trio is Mary McCord, Norm Eisen (left in red tie), and Andrew Weissmann.
These are the three members who write the briefs and court motions that Jack Smith then files.
Mary McCord worked in the DOJ-NSD to secure the first Title-1 warrant against the Trump campaign; then she created the Logan Act violation to use against Michael Flynn; then she went to work with Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on both impeachment efforts; then McCord went to work for Bennie Thompson on the J6 committee; then she worked as the liaison between the J6 Committee and Fulton County DA Fani Willis, and now Mary McCord currently works for Jack Smith on the special counsel effort.
Politico outlines how Lawfare operative Norm Eisen organizes the weekly Lawfare meeting and lists the participants who also join in. Remember, Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann are the primary Lawfare agents.
Via POLITICO – […] Every Friday, they meet on Zoom to hash out the latest twists and turns in the Trump legal saga — and intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system.
The meetings are off the record — a chance for the group’s members, many of whom are formally or loosely affiliated with different media outlets, to grapple with a seemingly endless array of novel legal issues before they hit the airwaves or take to print or digital outlets to weigh in with their thoughts.
The group’s host is Norman Eisen, a senior Obama administration official, longtime Trump critic and CNN legal analyst, who has been convening the group since 2022 as Trump’s legal woes ramped up. Eisen was also a key member of the team of lawyers assembled by House Democrats to handle Trump’s first impeachment.
[…] The regular attendees on Eisen’s call include Bill Kristol, the longtime conservative commentator, and Laurence Tribe, the famed liberal constitutional law professor. John Dean, who was White House counsel under Richard Nixon before pleading guilty to obstruction of justice in connection with Watergate, joins the calls, as does George Conway, a conservative lawyer and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project. Andrew Weissmann, a longtime federal prosecutor who served as one of the senior prosecutors on Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation and is now a legal analyst for MSNBC, is another regular on the calls. Jeffrey Toobin, a pioneer in the field of cable news legal analysis, is also a member of the crew. The rest of the group includes recognizable names from the worlds of politics, law and media.
[…] You probably know some of the other regular participants on the call, which draws in some of the most recognizable names in the Anti-Trump Cinematic Universe.
They currently include Obama-era U.S. Attorneys Harry Litman, Barbara McQuade and Joyce White Vance. Litman is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, a cable news regular and a podcast host. McQuade and Vance co-host a podcast and are under contract with MSNBC, as are two other regular attendees — Jennifer Rubin, an opinion writer for the Washington Post who often covers Trump’s legal affairs, and Mary McCord, a former federal prosecutor and high-ranking official in the Justice Department who co-hosts a podcast for MSNBC with Weissmann. Karen Agnifilo, a former senior prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and CNN commentator, is an occasional attendee, as is Elliot Williams, also a former federal prosecutor who provides commentary on CNN.

There are many people in media pretending to be surprised to see this article outlining all the participants in the anti-Trump effort as it gives the appearance of an organized and collaborative effort between media and the Lawfare group. However, all of the surprise is just that, pretense.
The entire DC world knows exactly what is going on and who is participating. You do not have some super incredible insight, knowledge or discernment that is not also known and available to every politician, pundit and entity in DC circles. They all know this game and they know the players within it.
It won’t work unless it’s rigged.
It’s purpose is to tie up Trump so he can’t campaign.
In that, it is succeeding.
Melania is taking to the campaign trail as are sons and daughters-in-law.
Trump will make speeches from in front of the courthouse when he can’t get to a campaign stop.
All of this goes away once the election is over.
Welcome to Bolshevik America. This started with obama and his demented desire to fundamentally change America.
another regular on the calls. Jeffrey Toobin, well we know his contributions to these zoomie circle jerks its why the Lincoln Project tunes in.

Recently there was a big raid on one of Barry’s pals house Diddy, no charges filed yet, must be another clean up project by the FBI.
Wouldn’t you like to see what happens to the Villains near the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark happen to Soros(Father & Son)Gates and Schwabe would you like to see George Soros Melt and Gates Head Explode?
No one with a brain is surprised, They also send a representative to the White House regularly to make sure the DoJ is fully in the loop. Anyone that believes otherwise is a gutless coward that can’t face the fact that they support a fascist regime or they simply approve of the fascism.
McCord sounds like a real patriot with the best interests of the nation at heart.
That’s a funny way to look at fascism. Well, except for fascists.

Tell it to the judge.
What? Are you trying to discuss a subject that’s way over your head, groomer?
Check this one
What is it about these leftists and their USSS? I recall the USSS had numerous discipline issues under the moron Obama. I guess that’s just the kind of culture these anti-American slime create.
Harrington’s claim is crap. They keep recycling the same disproven claims.
Arizona county didn’t accept 18K ballots after 2020 election day
If it is crap then provide what it is you are disputing. Saying it is crap does not make it crap. Again, as in the past you were wrong, you are wrong again.
The claim is recycled because the evidence is never examined by you self-denying leftists. Whenever the evidence is examined, the accusations are proven.
Its AZ, run by the cartels.
They signed and formally submitted official documents fraudulently certifying that they were, in fact, the duly elected and lawfully qualified electors. They were not, and knew damn well that they were not.
Arizona indicts 18 in election interference case, including Giuliani and Meadows
Ok but AZ was called less than an hour after the closing of the polls, and thousands and thousands of ballots were not even scanned yet? Ballots handed to a “vendor” unopened signatures unverified the next day. Where were the thousands Ballots held up until that point? did all 18 thousand arrive all at once on election day? Difficult to believe all those democrats couldnt post their votes earlier.
No one but democrats interfered in the election, the election was questioned as is our right as citizens.
Then they cheated in 2022.
Communist intimidation tactic. The Democrats want to make sure that people will not financially support any effort to uncover and expose the rampant election fraud in this country.
At the 60 minute mark and for five minutes the AG investigator steps all over his dick. The Judge intervenes because he is incoherent and finally suggests there should be a break.
Mary McCord is married to Sheldon Snook. Sheldon Snook is an advisor to John Roberts. Yes, THAT John Roberts of the Supreme court.
The rats have infested deeply.
McCord has a extensive history of miscreant behavior. Her day is coming soon, in 2025 along with a long list of others too long to list here.
Ok Zuckerberg is buying ticktock. He has vast experience in censorship and data collection to sell.
04/25/24 – Trump’s attorney: Presidential coup attempts may be unprosecutable – The Supreme Court oral argument was a reflection of how a president can avoid accountability
…Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked, would a president asking the military to engage in a coup be an “official act” — and therefore not prosecutable?
Here’s the exchange that followed.
That was the exchange, word for word, so don’t bother with your typical “Washington Post—dismissed” tap dance. It is what it is.
Trump’s lawyers are advocating a position before the Supreme Court that would allow any president to attempt to overthrow an election to remain in office—even using the military—and subsequently escape criminal prosecution if the coup fails, unless first impeached and convicted by Congress.
As we’ve already seen, if such a president has any more than 1/3 of the Senate as allies conviction becomes impossible.
Too bad, Comrade Greggie, that in spite of all your professed legalize, you don’t understand the difficulty in trying to answer Sotomayor’s scrambled eggs question.
Lie.
Sotomayor nailed Sauer’s pathetic butt to the barn door exactly as Judge Pan did during the Appeals Court oral arguments.
Trump’s lawyers know there’s no way in hell the Supreme Court is going to give him an immunity pass on his bullshit. It’s only another stalling tactic intended to push Trump’s trial dates past election day.
How so?
The coup attempts were from Democrats and Sotomayor is corrupt and should resign.
