Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen and fellow travelers, wrote an internal prosecution memo for current Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco to use on behalf of their conscripted Special Counsel, Jack Smith. [SEE 186-page Guidance MEMO HERE]
Essentially, what we are witnessing is what skilled researchers would expect to see.
The Lawfare operatives, represented by Weissmann, Eisen and company, are all ideological agents connected directly to the anti-Trump efforts.
I use the term “Lawfare” to describe their general group association, as well as the actual organization funded by the Brookings Institute that carries the same name.
Essentially, Lawfare et al, are the group of current and former Dept of Justice ideologues that we find throughout the deployment of all Main Justice weaponization, activism and corruption.
The Muller team were all Lawfare members. The legal team in/around the accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, what Christine Blasey-Ford called “beach friends,” are all Lawfare members. The legal team behind both of Trump’s impeachment efforts were all Lawfare members. It is one large network of legally minded ideologues working toward a common goal; they are inside government and connected to the same DOJ minds outside government.
The second thing they have in common is their collective risk within their action. Many of their activities were/are unlawful (spygate, FISA, Mueller probe, impeachment background etc), so to the extent the Lawfare group can mitigate risk by attacking anyone who would be a threat to them, this is what we see.
Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen are two of the most well-known members of this politically motivated group. Together they have created novel legal theories to use by the DOJ against their political opposition. They write the legal filings for Main Justice to use inside government. The fact the DOJ uses these novel theories and legal filings in the actual practice of law and prosecution shows how deeply connected the outside Lawfare group is to the Lawfare group inside DC.
Much of their Lawfare approach, that is using the law as a weapon, is based on a goal of attrition. Wear down the target until they are eventually destroyed. The same approach and motive is intended toward the supporters of the target. Wear down the psyche of the target’s supporters until they too are destroyed.
Creating demoralization is a very familiar approach from the Saul Alinsky methods rulebook. It is another way to create fear through isolation, ridicule and marginalization of their opponent. Threatening to make any defender a target is exactly the key behind Andrew Weissmann’s entire tenure as a prosecutor. You will note, they did this Lt Gen Mike Flynn when Weissmann expanded their scope and then threatened Flynn’s son, Mike Flynn Jr.
A few days ago, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen published their “Model Prosecution Memo” for use inside the DOJ and for the legal scribes in media to review prior to the DOJ making any Trump indictment announcement. {SEE MEMO HERE} This is the same playbook they have used successfully in the past to get all of their allies on the same page for the preferred narrative.
Anticipating that Lisa Monaco is distributing the talking points and giving Jack Smith the groundwork for his upcoming novel indictment effort, Andrew Weissmann then appears on MSNBC to discuss.

Again, remember, this is as much about their own defense and self-interest as it is an attack against their enemy. The Lawfare operatives have broken countless federal laws during their time weaponizing government against their political opposition. Their foot soldiers, essentially allies in the FBI organization, have broken even more statutes and laws. They are all mitigating the same level of risk.
So this shows that Comey is now officially a part of the Lawfare group that is outside the US DOJ and is throwing out a dog whistle for those inside the DOJ to start getting their resistance setup. pic.twitter.com/WRMLc4HUBz

Rat bastagees.
Odd how these feces-heads never experience any negative physical events.
Weismann is a scourge, as are the rest of this gang.
These people have no moral compass, no guardrails.
I don’t know how people get like this.
It’s disgusting.
I would say Trump is in serious danger.
… I was gonna say! Thanks Froggy!
Where do they find such human slyme? And they thrive!
For a close look at how Weissman operates read Sidney Powell’s book “Licensed to Lie.” She defended a banker in the Enron case and Weissman was the crooked prosecutor.
Didn’t the Supreme Court overturn 90%+ of Little Andy’s cases because he hid exculpatory evidence??? If that is true, I have always wondered how he keep his license. Isn’t such “lowfare” something that the RNC could challenge?? How many skeletons are in closet of the SWAMP???
Perhaps its time to revisit Lawfare’s Benjamin Wittes’ plan for an “insurance policy”, the ” coalition of all democratic forces”:
https://www.lawfareblog.com/tagged/coalition-all-democratic-forces-series
Same playbook, same players, same motives.
Its the Mass Corruption Complex of the Illegal Republic
If they do force an phony indictment against President Trump this week, it will coincide with the very real revelation that the 5 million dollar bribe taken by the leader of the current illegitimate Thugocracy came from Ukraine.
Imagine that.
Their over-arching problem is that their target is(!) The Executive Branch, as defined in Article 2 of the Constitution. As confirmed by the SCOTUS in Navy v. Eagan, he alone(!) has plenary power with regards to “classification,” directly granted by that Article. He also has the very highest level of security clearance – and he retains that clearance forever after leaving office. He is entitled to receive [classified] national security briefings daily, also forever. Whether or not he declassified any material – which he(!) can do by his words and actions – he forever has the right to possess and inspect them.
Vice-Presidents, Senators, and FBI Agents do not.
Each Branch of Government is sovereign in how it chooses to conduct its own affairs, and by definition none can “obstruct” nor “be obstructed by” any other. The President(!) – the Executive Branch – can exercise his Oath of Office in any way that he sees fit.
But there are people right now serving twenty-year prison sentences for doing much less than what Biden provably did.
Excellent post !!!
It’s hard to see what they don’t understand about the legal definition of plenary. For all us non-lawyers here, that means absolute authority.
This case AND the Georgia case are so blatantly outside legal bounds, I have to wonder, when does a malicious prosecution cross the line to allow a prosecutor to be personally sued ? I know that it rare but has happened.
Of course I’m not a lawyer.
Could a lawyer possibly chip in on this and give us the super brief version of that possibility ?
“Beattie and Charlie Kirk discuss Dem hatchet man Norm Eisen’s hidden hand in plot to jail Trump…”

Eisen. Just how many of these will be allowed to desecrate our constitution and our country, with the contrived bullshit that you cannot dare say anything about their treachery, because they are “chosen” and in order for goyim to be “Good Christians”, we must bend over and allow them to continue with a jail raping. Call me you want. I do not care! But I’m sick and damned fed up with the idea that we cannot speak truth because of fear of being smeared by these wretches. Control our money, spew filth, and undermine our laws.
When all evil doers are thrown into the lake of fire, this fool will be near the front of line.
Any conviction of Trump would go to the Supreme Court and I doubt that this conservative court would bless any novel prosecution theories. The whole game is to keep him from running.
Yawn. What will happen to Weismann and Company? Zip, zero, zilch, nada. Trump? Jail if they can get away with it.
That scumbag talks about the Constitution all the while they are utterly destroying it! It’s despicable as well as the propaganda media going along with it!
Weissman and Eisen are the type of Bolshevik Leftist Jews, the ones the neo-Nazi anti-semitic nut cases always complain about, that give normal Democrat and conservative Jews a bad name.
I just wish that Conservative Jews would stand up and call Weissman and Eisen out for the scum they truly are.
I don’t know where Lawfare Inc is going with this obviously un-American activity, but hopefully it ends very badly for them. These two clowns, Weissman and Eisen, have been running around since the Clinton Administration attacking Conservatives, tying them up in court and generally ruining lives.
President Trump was one of Israel’s biggest supporters. These guys you’re referencing, do not give a tinker’s damn about Israel. These are separate issues. They only use “religion” as a veil to get away with their criminal actions. Power and money, damn the means or casualties, is their only goal. Do a due diligence on your history. The crippling and devastating terms of Versailles, brought economic ruin to Germany, along with deep resentment and humiliation, ultimately leading to the rise of Hitler, World War and genocide. Guess what? These power players didn’t care. Millions paid with their lives
So when do we start to Lawfare the LawFareyers?
Former Trump legal advisor, Stephen Miller, has started a new conservative law group dubbed America First Legal to go after the Lawfare types, primarily the ACLU, who seem to spend all of their time these days suing Trump. It’s time to go after Weissman and Eisen. Weissman should be easy to go after considering his shoddy practices when he was working for Mueller.
Stephen Miller was not a Trump legal advisor; he is not an attorney. During Trump’s presidency, he was senior policy advisor and head speechwriter.
If you read Sydney Powell’s “Licensed to Lie” you will find the damning evidence against Weissman and his skirting the law for his own grandisement and lust for power. But he does have an achilles heel. Like any narcissist he can’t take criticism so he destroys anyone who offers evidence against him.
I say, let Tucker take him out. He’s the best at that. Hand him the opportunity. He’ll Lindsey Graham him. Would be fun to watch and see how Weissman deals with it. Then you will know the syndicate he has set up to take out his political opponents. Dis-infect the system..with sunlight.
It must be terribly frustrating for the Weissmann, et al group (Charlie) to have the football pulled by Lucy (MAGA) at the moment when they think they have DJT in their grasp. “Lawfare” has been doing this for a long time, ineffectively, but they will keep trying as long as someone keeps paying them.
The second thing they have in common is their collective risk within their action. Many of their activities were/are unlawful (spygate, FISA, Mueller probe, impeachment background etc), so to the extent the Lawfare group can mitigate risk by attacking anyone who would be a threat to them, this is what we see.
Perhaps this is the way you have to after Lawfare Inc. Former Trump legal advisor, Stephen Miller, has started a new conservative law group dubbed America First Legal to go after the Lawfare types, primarily the ACLU, who seem to spend all of their time these days suing Trump. It’s time to go after Weissman and Eisen. Weissman should be easy to go after considering his shoddy practices when he was working for Mueller.
Eisen is more of a snake. He works behind the scene all the time.
Bottom line Lawfare Inc. is a Communist front.
One of the most interesting series on Weissman is the Gateway Punit’s 15 part series
This guy is the worst. His corruption goes back to the 90s, but most telling is how he ruined the Arthur Anderson accounting firm. Trump is simply his latest white whale. He is a Communist and must be stopped.
You can read all of it by going to Part 15, scrolldown and all 15 articles are there.

Indeed, this pos was allowed to destroy Arthur Anderson. He has a front seat in Hell
It’s a shame Peppermint is a fictional character, she knew how to deal with corruption.
I must have misheard what comey was saying, was he warning against what trump might do or describing what biden was doing?
He reap what he sows, I pray those power leaches in Government and Law face equal agony they cause to others.
Lawfare power prick groups are heartless political bullies who force their will on others using laws they created for themselves. As far as they believe it’s not what’s good for everyone. It’s what’s great for them right now. Lawfare must form groups when go on the take, because they can’t earn anything on their own.
We are here for only a few moments in time. All the power and wealth a person controls is not how you’ll be judged, it’s what you do to others during your time together.
