Anti-Trump lawyer’s nonprofit secretly aided state prosecutions of Trump supporters

Democratic attorneys general deputized private lawyers from a nonprofit run by former Obama ambassador and anti-Trump activist Norm Eisen to help prosecute supporters of President Donald Trump for organizing alternate electors to challenge the 2020 election results, according to tax records and internal memos released under open record laws.

The relationship between state and local prosecutors and Eisen’s States United Democracy Center (SUDC) raises troubling questions about the independence of judicial decisions and the influence of a donor-funded group on matters of law and order, experts said.

At least one state — Minnesota — swore in lawyers from Eisen’s SUDC as “special attorneys” serving “at the pleasure of the Attorney General,” the memos show. Other state and local prosecutors accepted advice and free work, the memos show.

"This is highly inappropriate for left-wing nonprofits to become the prosecutors against their political enemies,” Mike Davis, a former GOP Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer who vetted federal judges for two decades before founding the nonprofit Article III Project, told Just the News.
