The Spin

Democratic narrative

Nessel has properly called on an independent special prosecutor to investigate DePerno as one of the prime instigators of this illegal scheme. DePerno is already known to have propagated Trump's false and debunked claims of election fraud, and this investigation is needed to ensure no election tampering like this ever occurs again.

Pro-Trump narrative

Nessel knows she could lose her re-election bid, so she is going as outrageously far as prosecuting her opponent to ensure that doesn't happen. Don't be fooled by her call for a "special prosecutor," she is weaponizing her power as AG to advance political goals. This is yet another example of how "woke" members of the judicial system can be dangerous for the country.
