Top anti-Trump legal pundits at various networks quietly meet for private weekly call: report
NY Post
A cable cabal of anti-Trump legal pundits reportedly meet for a weekly Zoom call to discuss the latest on former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles – and then spread their consensus views on left-leaning networks, according to a report.
The weekly meetings are scheduled for Fridays and are hosted by Norman Eisen, a CNN legal analyst and former Obama official, Politico Magazine reported Tuesday.
The group includes anti-Trump GOP commentators Bill Kristol and George Conway, liberal Harvard professor Laurence Tribe, former Nixon White House counsel John Dean, MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann, and former CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, according to the outlet.
The meetings have a “distinct anti-Trump tilt to it,” one group participant admitted to Politico.
Another legal TV commentator who does not participate in the Zoom calls told the outlet. “It runs the risk of creating the impression that there is an agreement or cooperation or conspiracy across mainstream media entities.”
The person, who was “surprised to hear” that weekly meetings were occurring, added that the clandestine sit-downs could feed into some “false” or “damaging perceptions.”
