Legal Advisor, National Security Counsel

John Eisenberg serves as the Deputy Assistant to the President, NSC Legal Advisor, and Deputy Counsel to the President for National Security Affairs. He previously worked in the Department of Justice from 2006 to 2009. While appointed by former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and part of the National Security Council, Eisenberg reports to White House Counsel Don McGahn.

Eisenberg is one of two of the President’s lawyers who reviewed intelligence documents gathered by Ezra Cohen-Watnick and leaked to Representative Devin Nunes, chair of the House Committee on Intelligence. Eisenberg, along with Michael Ellis, another White House Council lawyer who previously worked for Nunes, allegedly believed the classified material would be helpful in proving President Trump’s unsubstantiated claim he had been wiretapped by the Obama administration.

While Representative Nunes refused to name his sources, The New York Times outed Cohen-Watnick and Ellis on March 29, 2017. The Washington Post reported Eisenberg’s involvement the following day.

The "political" argument for impeachment.

Donald Trump is in bed with the Russians. He is compromised by Vladimir Putin. Nancy Pelosi was right. All roads with Donald Trump lead to Russia.

Donald Trump is unfit to be Commander in Chief. His penchant for making military decisions without any input from advisors is dangerous. It is a threat to our national security.

He is incompetent. He is good at tweeting, watching FOX News, playing golf, and attending rallies. He is not very good at being President.

He breaks our laws and our Constitution. He works for his own interests - not the interests of our country.

At his core, he is basically an immoral and divisive person. He is a terrible example for our children.

If the Court rules that Don McGahn has to obey Congressional subpoena?

Then, that would re-open the charges in the Mueller imvestigation.

He would have to respond under oath that what he told Robert Mueller was accurate and that Donald Trump attempted to obstruct justice by asking him to get Mueller removed?

That could be added as an Article of Impeachment.

That might be the best time to vote to impeach and send to the Senate for a trial?

Unfortunately, the Judge may not make a decision until next month? -Democrats might be advised to be patient and let the process work itself out?

Impeachment Strategy

Forget Thanksgiving.

Forget Christmas.

As Speaker Pelosi has said several times, there is no time limit. Her intent is to protect our country and protect our Constitution. The political calendar cannot dictate when or how a president is impeached.

This is a wise move on her part, in my opinion.

First of all, impeachment is a "political" process. It is not a criminal trial. Democrats are armed with facts and evidence, but unfortunately, that is not enough.

Republicans understand that if they acquit Donald Trump in the Senate, they still have about a year to go before the next Administration. In Trump time, that can be a very long time. Anything can happen at anytime. It could do great damage to their Party, and to them personally. They know that.

Democrats understand that Trump is a charlatan. He is a pathological liar. He is crude, unstable, paranoid, and deeply incompetent. He either does not understand the Constitution or the laws of this country or he has no respect for either? He has been in bed with the Russians. For some reason, he appears to be compromised by them? He has betrayed the laws of this country. He is a national security threat. Need we say more?

This impeachment process is probably the first time that Trump has been seriously challenged by another Branch of the Government, since he stepped into the White House? He does not want to be impeached.

If patience is a virtue, then this is the time to use it. So long as evidence is being gathered, the process should continue. They cannot possibly shut down the process and then vote on the Articles of Impeachment at this moment? After they hear from John Bolton, there may be a couple of other people that need to answer some questions? There really is no need to hurry.

With the threat of impeachment over his head, one might think that Donald Trump would pay close adherence to the laws and appearances of criminality? That might not be necessarily so?

Nancy is the only Sheriff in town, at this time. No Republicans have stepped forward to help her in protecting our laws and our Constitution. It would be a good time for patriots to step forward.

If we lose our laws and our Constitution, we will have lost everything.

Just my opinion.
