For my family, the National Lawyers Guild is not an abstract subject for political debate. We have seen their ideology in action. We fled Eastern Europe after World War II, escaping the Bolsheviks and communists who slaughtered our people—not in battle, but in cellars and forests for the crime of owning land, attending church, or simply existing. The NLG, founded by defenders of that same murderous regime, now drapes itself in the language of civil rights. But I recognize the old poison in new bottles. This expose is a warning from history: the enablers of today are the butchers of tomorrow.
And today, those enablers wear green hats. For over a decade, the NLG’s “Legal Observers” have haunted every riot—Portland, Seattle, Kenosha—positioning themselves between police and militants, notebooks in hand, smirks barely concealed. They are the quiet architects of impunity.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, was not a random act of violence. It was the predictable outcome of a system that protects left-wing agitation while punishing dissent. At the heart of this system stands the National Lawyers Guild, an organization that functions as the legal arm of domestic terrorism. As President Trump demands RICO actions against George Soros and the NGOs orchestrating political lawfare, it is time to expose the NLG—not as misguided activists, but as enablers of violence against America.
Historical Roots: From Communist Apologists to Militant Facilitators
Founded in 1937 as a project of the Communist Party USA, the NLG has long served as the legal auxiliary for revolutionary movements. In the 1940s, it defended Soviet apologists and Stalinist sympathizers. In the 1960s and ’70s, it represented members of the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers—groups that openly advocated for armed insurrection. Their mission has never been about justice; it has been about subverting the American legal system to advance a radical agenda. This historical continuity is critical: the NLG are not idealists. They are seasoned operatives in a long war against the foundations of the West.
The Trump-Era Renaissance: A Well-Funded Revival
The Guild did not merely survive into the 21st century; it found a new purpose and experienced explosive growth following the 2016 election of Donald Trump. Catalyzed by billions of dollars flowing into the “Resistance” movement, the NLG rebranded itself as the essential legal arm of the anti-Trump opposition.
The era of perpetual protest—from the J20 inauguration riots to the sustained violence in Portland and the national upheaval of 2020—created unprecedented demand for their services. They expanded their chapters, scaled their “Legal Observer” programs, and deepened their integration with a network of Soros-funded prosecutors who ensured their clients rarely faced lasting consequences. Trump’s presidency was the NLG’s renaissance, transforming it from a fading radical relic into a well-funded, media-validated pillar of the left’s institutional infrastructure.
The Modern Playbook: Embedding with the Enemy
Today, the NLG functions as ANTIFA’s legal shield. Their “Legal Observer” program—individuals clad in green hats—embed with rioters during events like the George Floyd unrest, the Portland courthouse siege, and the Capitol Hill Occupied Zone (CHOP). These observers are not neutral monitors. They:
- Document police movements to aid rioters in evading arrest.
- Communicate directly with activists to coordinate legal resistance.
- Physically interfere with law enforcement under the guise of “observation.”
As journalist Andy Ngo—who has been brutally assaulted by these militants and tirelessly documented their networks—has repeatedly affirmed, the NLG functions as the ‘legal wing of ANTIFA.’ His firsthand reporting shows their ‘Legal Observers’ are not neutral monitors but active participants: impeding arrests, shouting advice to refuse cooperation with police, and acting as communicators for rioters. This is not observation; it is obstruction of justice in real-time.”
The “Get Out of Jail Free” Architecture
The NLG has built a sophisticated architecture to ensure that arrested militants face minimal consequences—a system that functions as the oxygen of insurrection:
- Mass Defense Committees: Rapid-response teams that deploy to jails and courthouses to pressure prosecutors.
- Pro-Bono Networks: Radical attorneys who secure dismissed or reduced charges for serious crimes.
- Bail Funds: Coordinated with Soros-funded groups like the National Bail Fund Network, ensuring violent actors return to the streets within hours.
This isn’t advocacy—it’s a racket. In Portland, rioters who firebombed a federal courthouse were released within 24 hours. In Atlanta, “Cop City” arsonists were bailed out by NLG-aligned funds. The system is designed to make violence cost-free.
Ties to the Broader Network
The NLG does not operate alone. It is funded and empowered by the same dark money networks fueling the anti-American infrastructure:
- Open Society Foundations (Soros) and the Tides Foundation funnel millions into NLG-aligned initiatives.
- Soros-Backed District Attorneys—like Larry Krasner in Philadelphia—often drop charges against NLG-represented activists.
- Allied Organizations like the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) provide additional resources and media amplification.
This is a coordinated enterprise: militants create chaos, the NLG provides the legal defense, prosecutors ensure impunity, and the media labels it “social justice.”
The Media Shield
The mainstream media completes this ecosystem by laundering NLG talking points. Outlets like CNN, The New York Times, and NPR routinely quote NLG “observers” as neutral experts, rarely mentioning their ideological commitments or their role in obstructing justice. When riots erupt, the NLG is given airtime to frame militants as victims and police as aggressors. This lexical camouflage—calling arson “property critique” and assault “community self-defense”—shields the NLG from scrutiny and helps normalize their support for violence.
The Strategy of Obscurity: How the NLG Hides in Plain Sight
The NLG thrives in the shadows by design. It hides behind the noble language of ‘civil rights’ and ‘legal aid,’ ensuring that the public sees only its sanitized branding—not its function as ANTIFA’s legal arm. Media allies amplify this disguise, labeling NLG members ‘neutral observers’ rather than ideological enforcers. This calculated obscurity allows them to operate with impunity: manipulating courts, bailing out rioters, and sabotaging law enforcement—all while avoiding the public scrutiny that would expose their revolutionary agenda. They are protected by a wall of semantic camouflage, media complicity, and public boredom with complex legal machinery. This ignorance is not an accident; it is the intended result of their strategy.
Intellectual and Moral Corruption
The NLG justifies this system through a deliberate perversion of language. They redefine violence as “direct action,” vandalism as “reparations,” and chaos as “liberation.” Meanwhile, they remain silent when conservatives are targeted—whether J6 defendants railroaded by overzealous prosecutors or pro-lifers arrested for praying outside clinics.
Their training materials advise activists to:
- Refuse cooperation with police.
- Exploit media sympathy by claiming victimhood.
- Weaponize lawfare to drain public resources through frivolous lawsuits.
This is not legal advocacy—it is ideological warfare disguised as civil rights work.
This perversion of justice is cloaked in their hollow slogan: ‘Law for the People. Since 1937.’ Yet their actions reveal a more selective clientele. The NLG does not provide pro-bono defense for J6 defendants exercising what they believed to be their First Amendment rights. They do not rally to the aid of pro-life activists arrested for praying outside abortion clinics. They show no interest in the ‘people’ whose businesses are burned or whose free speech is silenced by the very militants the NLG defends. Their motto is a fraud. Their practice is ‘Law for the Right People’—a euphemism for the shock troops of their revolutionary ideology.
Why the Right Ignored the Threat—And Why That Must End
For years, conservatives dismissed the NLG as a fringe group of radical lawyers—eccentric but harmless. This complacency allowed them to build a sophisticated infrastructure of impunity right under our noses. We mistook their green hats for costumes rather than uniforms. We underestimated their patience, their funding, and their resolve. Charlie Kirk’s assassination should shatter that illusion forever. The NLG and its allies have built a system that protects left-wing violence while criminalizing dissent. Ignoring them is no longer an option.
The Kirk Assassination: A Predictable Outcome
Charlie Kirk was killed because the infrastructure of left-wing violence has been normalized. When firebombing courthouses carries no consequence, why would assassinating a conservative leader? The NLG doesn’t pull the trigger—it loads the magazine, hides the evidence, and helps the shooter walk free.
CALL TO ACTION: It’s Time for the Hammer of RICO
My family did not survive the Bolsheviks so I could stand by silently as their ideological heirs dismantle America from within. We have seen this before: the cynical perversion of law to serve revolution, the intellectuals providing cover for thugs, the steady erosion of order until violence becomes inevitable. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a signpost on a road my people have been down. It leads to mass graves.
The National Lawyers Guild is not a legal association; it is a continuation of that old, murderous faith by other means. President Trump has rightly called for the Department of Justice to wield the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) against George Soros and the NGOs orchestrating this lawfare. We must now demand that this legal hammer fall on the NLG.
We call upon the Attorney General and all U.S. Attorneys to initiate a RICO investigation into the National Lawyers Guild for:
- Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice through their “Legal Observer” program.
- Aiding and Abetting Domestic Terrorism by providing material support to militant groups.
- Operating a Criminal Enterprise that uses the law to break the law.
This is beyond partisanship. This is about stopping a cycle of history that ends in rivers of blood. The NLG has built a system where firebombing a courthouse is “activism,” but defending your heritage is “hate.” My family’s story is a testament to what happens when such lies go unchallenged.
President Trump has named the enemy. Now the Department of Justice must have the courage to prosecute it. We owe this to the memories of those slaughtered by this ideology in the past, and to our children, who must not face it in the future. If we fail to dismantle these legal terrorists, we will not survive the next wave of violence.
Final Thought
Charlie Kirk was killed by a bullet, but he was first targeted by an idea—an idea the National Lawyers Guild exists to protect. They don’t carry guns; they carry briefcases. But they load the magazines, hide the evidence, and help the shooters walk free. I have seen the world they want to build. It is a world of cellars and graves. It is time we treated them like the enemies of humanity they are.
