Pundits Target Trump During Weekly Zoom Calls


A group of anti-Trump legal commentators and analysts reportedly gather for a weekly Zoom call to discuss the latest developments in former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles. 

According to The NY Post, the clandestine meetings, hosted by Norman Eisen, a CNN legal analyst and former Obama official, take place on Fridays. 

The participants include:

  • Bill Kristol and George Conway, both anti-Trump GOP commentators.
  • Laurence Tribe, a liberal Harvard professor.
  • John Dean, former Nixon White House counsel.
  • Andrew Weissmann, an MSNBC legal analyst.
  • Jeffrey Toobin, formerly with CNN1.

The discussions aim to explore different legal arguments and shape content for audiences interested in Trump-related legal matters. 

While the group’s views may converge due to these conversations, it’s essential to maintain a critical perspective and avoid groupthink. 

Skepticism and ambivalence occasionally arise, especially when evaluating ongoing cases, such as the hush money trial against Trump in Manhattan. These behind-the-scenes dialogues provide insight into the legal landscape and its impact on media narratives.
