A new article out from Politico reveals that a select group of lawyers and legal pundits have been working behind the scenes to quash a Trump second term using the media. They've been sharing narratives, honing points, and working together to "intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system."
The names of those who have been at these meetings are all too familiar and their tactics mirror those undertaken in 2020 to manipulate media to sway the presidential election in Biden's favor.
A group began meeting weekly in 2022, every Friday, on Zoom calls with congressional staffers for J6 committee members to coordinate their narrative about Trump and the lawfare directed at him. "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," Politico reports.
The meetings were not recorded and were off the record. Those in attendance have various media affiliations. The host of the meetings, Norm Eisen, was a senior member of the Obama administration and has actively worked to get attorneys who worked with Trump during his White House term disbarred.
