The Mastermind Behind the Campaign to Thwart Trump
INVESTIGATIONS: December 29th, 2023: By, Walter Curt
Norm Eisen isn’t just another Beltway lawyer; he’s the deep-state grand tactician who stitched together the legal and media booby traps that have dogged Donald Trump since 2016. As co-founder of the so-called “Voter Protection Program” and brain trust behind the Transition Integrity Project, Eisen designed a playbook that reads less like civic engagement and more like a political GPS for kneecapping a sitting president. Every memo, tabletop exercise, and breathless op-ed he churned out carried the same mission-statement: box Trump in, slow him down, and—if possible—knock him out of the ring before the American people could land their own verdict.
That blueprint burst into full view at two flashpoints: first, when D.C. officials mysteriously “forgot” to call up the National Guard on January 6th, despite days of advance warnings; and second, when a lawyerly ambush tried to erase Trump’s name from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment. Different arenas, same fingerprints. Eisen’s inside whispering—backed by a fleet of well-paid NGO lawyers—nudged Democratic governors, secretaries of state, and activist judges to treat Trump not as a candidate but as a constitutional outlaw. The result? A coordinated legal dragnet masquerading as civic virtue, leaving no doubt that Eisen sits at the center of the most sophisticated political hit-squad modern Washington has ever fielded.
TIP and Color Revolution Techniques
Applying Regime Change Playbook Domestically
Eisen didn’t simply join the Transition Integrity Project—he weaponized it. TIP’s “war-games” weren’t Boy‐Scout hypotheticals; they were dry-runs for a domestic Color Revolution. That same destabilization manual the State Department once shipped overseas—mass protests, media echo-chambers, legal warfare—got a fresh cover and a “Made in D.C.” stamp. Eisen’s hand showed up everywhere: choreographing nightmare scenarios where Trump “refuses to concede,” drafting op-eds to pre-blame the chaos on the White House, and coaching blue-state officials on how to manufacture a constitutional crisis before the first recount even started.
Color-Revolution tactics rely on three levers—street pressure, narrative control, and legal choke-holds. TIP dutifully rehearsed all three. Eisen’s crew mapped out where protests should erupt (swing-state capitols, naturally), which talking heads would label Trump an “illegitimate usurper,” and which sympathetic judges could fast-track injunctions to freeze the Electoral College. It was the foreign-intervention cookbook—only this time the target was 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. By importing regime-change strategy into the home front, Eisen turned routine partisan hardball into open-air political insurgency, recasting the U.S. electorate as just another population to be “managed” until the desired outcome stuck. That’s not loyal opposition; that’s velvet-glove revolution, and Eisen was its quartermaster.
Legal and Media Campaigns
Orchestrating a Multi-Front Offensive Against Trump
While most Beltway operators pick a single weapon, Eisen built himself a Swiss-Army arsenal. On Capitol Hill he was the Democrats’ impeachment consigliere, scripting the sound-bites that MSNBC regurgitated nightly. At 10 a.m. he’d file an ethics complaint; by noon he’d be in a greenroom explaining why that very complaint proved Trump was a “clear and present danger.” Lawfare and airtime merged into one feedback loop—legal brief becomes headline, headline becomes “evidence,” evidence becomes the next brief. Eisen understood that if you control the docket and the chyron, you can bend reality faster than any press secretary could spin it.
CREW’s Litigation and Influence in the Judicial Arena
CREW—his personal litigation war-room—handled the heavy artillery. When the Colorado Supreme Court shocked the country by booting Trump off the 2024 ballot under a tortured reading of the Fourteenth Amendment, the decision wasn’t hatched in those marble halls; it was incubated in CREW’s conference room, where Eisen’s lawyers drafted, coached, and choreographed the plaintiffs’ every move. The blue-robed justices supplied the signatures, but the script was pure Eisen—precisely the kind of judicial activism he once condemned as “dangerous” until it served his ends.
This wasn’t mere courtroom brinkmanship; it was a blueprint to rewrite the electoral map through injunctions and op-eds rather than votes. By turning courthouses into campaign headquarters, Eisen proved you don’t need to win hearts and minds when you can simply strike names off ballots. That precedent—weaponizing judges to police the ballot box—now hangs over every future election like a Sword of Damocles, all because one lawyer-strategist decided the voters couldn’t be trusted to choose for themselves.
Eisen's Influence on National Guard Deployment Decisions
In the fog of January 6, one invisible hand steered the traffic lights: Norm Eisen. According to internal Voter Protection Program memos unearthed by the online sleuth “Bad Kitty,” Eisen pepper-ed blue-state governors with “legal guidance” warning that calling up the National Guard could be construed as partisan voter intimidation. The advice landed exactly where it needed to—on the desks of governors who controlled the Guard units surrounding Washington. When chaos finally erupted, the cavalry never showed. That vacuum wasn’t an accident; it was a lawyer’s veto dressed up as civil-rights caution, and Eisen drafted the brief.
Step back and the pattern snaps into focus. Whether he’s scripting impeachment talking points, drafting ballot-ban lawsuits, or hand-wringing governors out of deploying troops, Eisen never fires just one shot—he lays down enfilade. His résumé in foreign regime-change teaches one lesson: hit every pressure point at once. Here at home he replicated the model—legal warfare in the courts, narrative warfare in the press, and tactical choke-points in the executive branch—each reinforcing the next until the political chessboard tilted his way.
That’s not the rough-and-tumble of ordinary politics; it’s systemic manipulation masquerading as civic duty. When one man’s playbook can cancel a ballot, stall a Guard unit, and rewrite a headline in the same news cycle, the guardrails of democracy bend. Eisen’s rise forces a sober question: are we watching the lawful contest of ideas, or the soft-gloved neutralization of an electorate deemed too unruly for its own good? Until Congress shines floodlights on the behind-the-scenes lawfare industry—and the strategists who import foreign-intervention tactics for domestic use—the line between legitimate advocacy and orchestrated subversion will keep blurring, one “legal memo” at a time.
This guy is committing criminal acts in the furtherance of his resist Trump movement. If he was involved in Jan 6, that’s insurrection on his part to conduct a seditious conspiracy to entrap Trump and His supporters. It’s got to be obstruction or something.
