Trump Just Gave Prosecutors Proof He Committed Two Crimes: Kirschner

The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The corrupt and weaponized US Dept. of Justice has incessantly gone after Trump ever since he left office. This is also blatantly calculated, as shown by Attorney General Merrick Garland's choice to pull the grand jury from Washington, DC — a district where Trump has received less than 5% of the vote in previous elections. You don't throw bogus charges at a former president, in areas where the people hate him, for any other reason than to force him out of political existence.
Democratic narrative
The irony of MAGA Republicans accusing Democrats of politically motivated witch hunts is remarkable. Republicans think that Trump, the man who stole classified government documents and put the nation's security at risk, is more of a victim than Pres. Biden, who's facing calls for impeachment over the kangaroo court surrounding Hunter Biden. The government is being weaponized — but not by Democrats. Trump has no one to blame but himself for his legal woes.
