The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Law enforcement agents are public servants doing what they can to keep the country safe, and this case is just the latest example of them being threatened with violence. Some people in power spread conspiracy theories and false narratives about government agencies in order to earn short-term political points, but the country suffers in the long term. These attacks must stop.
Establishment-critical narrative
It's difficult to hold federal law enforcement in high esteem when it's turning the US into a banana republic. While the Justice Department continues to prosecute Trump — Biden's opponent in the upcoming election — it's still refusing to obey a congressional subpoena to turn over evidence. Law enforcement is not above criticism, and it should stop ducking accountability for its actions.
