Mike Benz, a former Trump State Department official and current Foundation for Freedom Online executive director, highlighted U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ relationship with anti-Trumper attorney and former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic Norm Eisen.
On Thursday, Benz amplified a report first uncovered by the X account The Researcher, which said Roberts spent a week living at Eisen’s 150-room palace in the Czech Republic, where the pair “worked on American and European Rule of Law issues together.”
“Norm Eisen is obviously the hatchet man who’s been spearheading basically every significant act of lawfare against Donald Trump since the day Trump announced he was running for presidential office in 2015. We’re coming up on a decade of Norm Eisen lawfare. He’s…one of the nastiest, most sadistic freaks of the legal profession our country has ever known,” Benz explained on Friday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.
“Norm Eisen bragged about his access to John Roberts. He has made a bunch of similar statements where he has suggested that Roberts is not on Trump’s side. He talks about him as his good friend and peer and that they’ve known each other for a very long time, but the fact is John Roberts was the Chief Justice when he went over there,” Benz added.
Benz stressed Eisen’s role in facilitating the years of lawfare against Trump, some of which went before the Supreme Court.
“The thing I wanted to ram home though about this is that Norm Eisen’s lawfare tactics against Trump were honed in the Czech Republic. Norm Eisen was asked what he was most proud of from his time as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic and he replied that it was the changes to the rule of law and getting the Czech Republic effectively to arrest high profile political figures in the country,” Benz said.
“He’s talked about this frequently, that his whole strategy for taking down Trump legally and criminally is based on the techniques that he pioneered in the Czech Republic going after high profile figures, as the ambassador there, basically cut perverting the State Department to interfere in the independence of the judiciary,” Benz added.
