Not Far From the Tree: Nat'l Lawyers' Guild & Antifa

We are told that the National Lawyers' Guild is Antifa's 'hidden asset.'

...Busy alongside Antifa this year will be the movement’s unofficial legal arm: the National Lawyers Guild. 

Although much lower profile than their enablers within the establishment media and among the more extreme elements of the Democratic Party, the National Lawyers Guild is actually far more important when it comes to keeping Antifa’s program of extreme political violence going.  

Made up of thousands of hard-left lawyers spread out in over 150 chapters across the country (not including over 100 student chapters), and funded by giant philanthropists like the Ford Foundation and George Soros, the NLG explicitly and openly coordinates legal action and public relations in support of the Antifa movement....

That's not exactly a surprise.

...According to Discover the Networks, in the 1940s and ’50s, the group and its members defended figures such as Alger Hiss, Judith Socolov, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, as well as members of the Communist Hollywood 10. For these and other efforts, the House of Un-American Activities Committee labeled NLG the “legal bulwark of the Communist Party.”...

Or, as other lawyers put it, the NLG was (and still is) a Communist front organization.

Charming that the Ford Foundation throws money into it, no?
