So Norm Eisen says he is going to sue Elon Musk and DOGE.
🚨 THREAD: Who is Norm Eisen? The Legal Hatchet Man Behind the Anti-Trump ‘Color Revolution’ 🚨
Norm Eisen isn’t just some legal expert or ethics advocate. He’s a political operative who has spent his career using the legal system to target conservatives—especially Donald Trump. He is also an expert on color revolutions. Let’s break it down. ⬇️
Norm graduated Harvard Law School in 1991, where he met his good friend Barack Obama. During his time there, he also served as the Assistant Director of the Anti-Defamation League and a research assistant to his teacher Alan Dershowitz.
Eisen’s Rise in Law and Politics
Norm Eisen co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a so-called "watchdog" group that claims to fight corruption. Sounds good, right? But here’s the catch:
Under Eisen’s leadership, CREW overwhelmingly targeted Republican officials while ignoring Democratic corruption.
It worked hand-in-hand with leftist media to push narratives that undermined GOP figures.
Critics have called it a “Democrat attack dog” rather than a true ethics organization.
Eisen didn’t just study law—he learned how to weaponize it.
CREW is the organization that sued to have Trump removed from the ballot in Colorado in 2024.
Here is the link to the thread I did on their financial backers

Obama's 'Ethics Czar': Selective Enforcement of Ethics Laws
Obama brought Eisen into his administration as Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform in 2009.
Eisen helped craft one of the strictest lobbying bans in U.S. history—but did it really curb corruption?
Many argue that it was selectively enforced, disproportionately targeting conservatives while allowing key Democratic allies to continue their influence-peddling.
Despite Obama’s promise of an “ethical” White House, his administration had numerous scandals that Eisen seemed to ignore.
Eisen’s role wasn’t about stopping corruption—it was about controlling who gets accused of it.
U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic: A Training Ground for ‘Legal Coups’
From 2011-2014, Eisen served as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, a country battling political corruption.
His mission?
Promote “anti-corruption” reforms that just so happened to target conservative and populist leaders.
Use legal institutions to undermine nationalist political movements in Europe.
Strengthen ties between U.S. officials and left-wing NGOs meddling in foreign politics.
This is what is referred to as a color revolution.
What is a Color Revolution? And How Was Eisen Involved?
A Color Revolution is a playbook for regime change, used to topple foreign governments.
It relies on protests, legal challenges, media disinformation, and election disputes.
It’s been used to overthrow leaders in Ukraine, Georgia, and other countries.
Eisen literally wrote the playbook on this.
In 2019, Eisen published The Democracy Playbook, a guide on how to remove “authoritarian” leaders.
The playbook can be found here: brookings.edu/wp-content/upl…
If you examine this passage from The Democracy Playbook and switch the word "democracy" with "bureaucracy" it will make more sense.
Compare this with a passage from a book by the former ambassador to Russia under Obama Michael Mcfaul, who is currently a professor at Stanford and a board member of the National Democratic Institute, which recieves millions of dollars in grants from places like USAID.
In this passage, he lists several conditions which facilitate a color revolution which are shown in the next few posts.
1. A Semi-Autocratic Regime Rather Than Fully Autocratic
A Color Revolution doesn’t work against a fully autocratic regime because those governments have total control.
Instead, it targets semi-autocratic or weakly democratic governments—ones that still have institutions that can be manipulated against them.
Trump was the perfect target because:
He was an outsider who challenged the Deep State.
He didn’t have full control over the bureaucracy (DOJ, FBI, intelligence agencies actively worked against him).
He respected constitutional limits (unlike actual dictators), making him vulnerable to legal warfare.
The establishment painted Trump as a dictator, but in reality, he was a democratically elected leader under attack.
2. An Unpopular Incumbent (Manufactured Narrative)
A Color Revolution requires the targeted leader to be seen as unpopular, so the opposition can justify “saving democracy.”
How did they make Trump look ‘unpopular’?
24/7 negative media coverage (CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo ran 90%+ negative stories).
Fake polls pushing the lie that Biden had a double-digit lead.
Smear campaigns (Russia hoax, Ukraine “quid pro quo,” Charlottesville hoax).
Big Tech censorship—Trump’s messaging was suppressed, while Biden’s was amplified.
The real numbers tell a different story:
Trump had massive rallies, Biden couldn’t fill a parking lot.
Trump gained 12 million votes from 2016, the most for any incumbent in history.
They manufactured “unpopularity” to justify their coup.
3. A United and Organized Opposition
A Color Revolution requires every major institution to work together against the targeted leader.
Who was in on it?
The Media—Pushed lies & censored Trump’s response.
The Intelligence Community—Ran the Russia hoax, buried Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Hollywood & Celebrities—Used pop culture to make resistance “trendy.”
Community Groups—Planned and executed mass protests (BLM, Antifa).
Silicon Valley & Social Media—Censored election fraud claims, de-platformed conservatives.
This was an elite-driven, coordinated effort—not a grassroots movement.
They weren’t defending democracy. They were executing a regime change.
4. An Ability to Quickly Push the Narrative That the Election Was ‘Fair’
The key to a successful Color Revolution is controlling the election narrative—before and after voting.
How did they do this?
The Transition Integrity Project—A pre-election war game predicting a contested election (because they planned it). Norm Eisen took part in the TIP.
Big Tech censorship—ANY questioning of the election was labeled “misinformation.”
Pre-loaded media narratives—“There is no fraud” was reported before investigations happened.
Covering up evidence—Ignored hundreds of sworn affidavits and videos of late-night ballot dumps.
The fix was in before Election Day.
They told us “voter fraud doesn’t exist” while actively suppressing investigations into voter fraud.
5. Enough Independent Media to Push the Fraud Narrative
A Color Revolution requires some independent media to push the opposition’s message, while silencing pro-government voices.
How did they execute this?
Mainstream media “full court press”—100% lockstep narrative that Biden won.
Big Tech coordination—Banned Trump’s posts about election fraud.
“Fact-checkers”—Demonized any evidence of fraud as “baseless.”
Fox News betrayal—Called Arizona for Biden early, breaking conservative trust.
Even with total control over legacy media, they still had to censor opposition voices.
They needed an information blackout to pull this off.
6. A Political Opposition Capable of Mobilizing Mass Protests
The final piece of the Color Revolution is mass unrest.
Who did they use?
Black Lives Matter—Organized nationwide riots under the banner of “racial justice.”
Antifa—Provided violent shock troops to attack Trump supporters and federal buildings.
“Peaceful protest” propaganda—Media framed riots as heroic while calling Trump supporters “domestic terrorists.”
This was a direct play from the Color Revolution handbook.
Destabilize the country through protests & riots.
Blame the sitting president for the chaos.
Justify removing him to “restore order.”
They created the crisis, blamed Trump, and used it as an excuse to take him out.
Condition no. 4 is eerily similar to another passage from Norm Eisen's The Democracy Playbook about the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and even mentions USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA cutout created after Jimmy Carter's Halloween Massacre.
When I confronted Mcfaul about this, he denied the claims as "Russian Propaganda" and asked me if I supported Putin.
Compare this to a passage in Norm Eisen's playbook
These passages are eerily similar to work of the original author of color revolutions, Gene Sharp.
It would be impossible to do full justice for his importance in this thread, so here is an excerpt taken from an article written by Darren Beattie:
"Gene Sharp, the 'Machiavelli of nonviolence,' has been fairly described as 'the most influential American political figure you’ve never heard of.' Sharp, who passed away in January 2018, was a beloved yet 'mysterious' intellectual giant of nonviolent protest movements, the 'father of the whole field of the study of strategic nonviolent action.' Over his career, he wrote more than twenty books about nonviolent action and social movements. His how-to pamphlet on nonviolent revolution, From Dictatorship to Democracy, has been translated into over thirty languages and is cited by protest movements around the world. In the U.S., his ideas are widely promoted through activist training programs and by scholars of nonviolence, and have been used by nearly every major protest movement in the last forty years. For these contributions, Sharp has been praised by progressive heavyweights like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize four times, compared to Gandhi, and cast as a lonely prophet of peace, champion of the downtrodden, and friend of the left.
Gene Sharp’s influence on the U.S. activist left and social movements abroad has been significant. But he is better understood as one of the most important U.S. defense intellectuals of the Cold War, an early neoliberal theorist concerned with the supposedly inherent violence of the 'centralized State,' and a quiet but vital counselor to anti-communist forces in the socialist world from the 1980s onward."
In the mid-1960s, Thomas Schelling, a Nobel Prize-winning nuclear theorist, recruited 29-year-old Sharp to join the Center for International Affairs at Harvard, bastion of the high Cold War defense, intelligence, and security establishment. Leading the so-called 'CIA at Harvard' were Henry Kissinger, future National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy, and future CIA chief Robert Bowie. Sharp held this appointment for thirty years. There, with Department of Defense funds, he developed his core theory of nonviolent action: a method of warfare capable of collapsing states through theatrical social movements designed to dissolve the common will that buttresses governments, all without firing any shots. From his post at the CIA at Harvard, Sharp would urge U.S. and NATO defense leadership to use his methods against the Soviet Union.

Eisen’s Role in Trump’s Impeachment: The Legal Coup
Eisen didn’t just help Trump’s impeachment—he ORCHESTRATED it.
As special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, Eisen was one of the primary architects of Trump’s impeachment over Ukraine.
But here’s the shocking part…
Before Trump’s phone call with Ukraine was even public, Eisen had already drafted 10 articles of impeachment.
He was writing the legal case to remove Trump MONTHS before any formal investigations.
Impeachment wasn’t about the law—it was a pre-planned effort to overthrow Trump’s presidency.
Here is Norm Eisen on a podcast with Michael Cohen admitting to drafting 10 articles of impeachment against Trump before even taking office x.com/jacktronprime/…
Eisen used every trick in the book:
Media pressure – Constantly appearing on CNN & MSNBC to push the impeachment narrative.
Legal manipulation – Using his “ethics” credentials to make Trump look guilty in the public eye.
Preemptive attacks – Drafting impeachment charges before an inquiry even began.
Eisen wasn’t just a lawyer—he was the chief legal strategist of the anti-Trump coup attempt.
Post-Impeachment: Eisen’s War on Trump Continues
Even after Trump was acquitted, Eisen continued his crusade.
Wrote A Case for the American People: The United States v. Donald J. Trump, doubling down on impeachment propaganda.
Became involved in lawsuits defending FBI agents who spied on Trump’s campaign.
Advocated for further legal action against Trump in 2024.
Here he was outside the courthouse in the Trump hush money case
