The organization behind the lawsuit in Colorado that was to get Trump off the ballot is called CREW.
Who are they, and what are they all about?
Let's dig ...
Website:
https://www.citizensforethics.org/
One of their main tactics is lawfare -- trying to use the courts to do what they cannot do in honest elections:
They are trying to get Trump off the ballot in Michigan:
CREW filed an amicus brief with the Michigan Court of Claims asserting Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment ... challenging Donald Trump’s constitutional eligibility to serve as president and appear on Michigan’s ballot.
Next up will be members of Congress:
Sixteen members of Congress have spread, or at least entertained, a conspiracy theory that the January 6th insurrection was an “inside job” led by the FBI, according to an analysis by CREW.
No lawsuits, yet, but you can see where this gang wants to go: lawfare against anyone you don't like.
This action by CREW smells A LOT like something the ADL might do:
CREW is suing Customs and Border Protection for records on Border Patrol Agent Brandon Judd, who has touted the far-right “great replacement” conspiracy theory that Democrats are deliberately “replacing” white Americans with immigrants to skew the electorate. The theory is deeply rooted in white supremacist ideology and is linked to several racially-motivated mass murders carried out in the U.S.
Smells a lot like the ADL.
So, who runs CREW?
From a website called "CrewExposed" --
"Who's Who at CREW?"
The idea ... was conceived by Norman Eisen and Louis Mayberg, two lawyers who often donated to Democrat causes.
In 2014, Clinton machine fixer David Brock was elected chair of the CREW board. Brock runs several SuperPACs and 527 groups with close ties to Hillary Clinton. After the 2016 election cycle, Brock ceded control of the board to Norman Eisen, ostensibly to “ensure [CREW’s] public reputation for non-partisanship.” But a leaked memo published in the Washington Free Beacon detailed Brock’s continued influence over the organization and its role in his network of liberal attack organizations.
One Republican that often signs his name to CREW actions is Vice Chair Richard Painter. However, in August of 2016, he endorsed Hillary Clinton in a much-touted New York Times op-ed.
Norman Eisen is an attorney ... After serving as Deputy General Counsel to Barack Obama’s transition team in 2008, he was appointed special advisor to the president for ethics

From Wikipedia:
Norman Eisen ...
... was co-counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the first impeachment and trial of President Donald Trump in 2020
Eisen's parents were immigrants to the United States of Jewish ancestry
Eisen worked as the assistant director of the Los Angeles office of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
[Surprise! Surprise!]
Louis Mayberg runs a foundation.
Trustees Louis and Manette Mayberg created the Mayberg Foundation as a grant making family foundation ... and are deeply involved in many issues and initiatives impacting how future generations will sustain Jewish values ... Their philanthropic passions include Jewish outreach and Jewish education.

From the CREW website:
Board of Directors --
Board Chair: Beth Nolan.
https://www.citizensforethics.org/about/board-of-directors/
She was also Bill Clinton's final White House Counsel
Nolan served as a staff attorney under then Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Theodore Olsen.
NOTE: The name is spelled incorrectly on Wiki, as the link for "Ted Olsen" goes directly to the Wiki page for "Ted Olson." Ted Olson was the one who lied about the cell phones and box cutters on Flight 77, by claiming his wife (Barbara Olson) called from the plane.
[from Wikipedia]
When Nolan joined CREW:
Former Senator Claire McCaskill, Stand Up Republic co-founder Evan McMullin, and former White House Counsel Beth Nolan are joining the board of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-releases/mccaskill-mcmullin-nolan-crew-board/
Evan McMullin is the CIA operative who made a big deal about running against Trump in 2016 and tried to get into the Senate in 2022.
The CREW IRS tax form shows that the Bonner Group, Inc. is the company that raises funds for them.

The Bonner Group, Inc. is a leftist company that most likely gets money from Soros and similar, and then dishes it out to various NGO's to make it look "clean."
A list of Bonner Group organziations they obtain funds for includes Media Matters and CREW:

I saw somewhere that it was Republicans who did the Colorado lawsuit.
I think it was CREW, which are mostly libtards, and hard core deep state ones, at that.
Would not be surprised, though, if plenty of RINO's were on board, as well.
