The Spin

Republican narrative

In addition to being a coordinated hit job by Democratic partisans, Trump’s hush money trial and conviction was an illegitimate farce based on illegal evidence. Anti-Trump Democrats Alvin Bragg and Juan Merchan worked in unison to rush their predetermined verdict before the Supreme Court ruled on the issue of presidential immunity. The prosecution’s flimsy argument depended on evidence related to Trump’s official acts as president, and the entire case must be vacated in the wake of SCOTUS’ decision.

House Judiciary Committee Republicans

Democratic narrative

Trump and his team are trying to stretch SCOTUS’ immunity ruling to the absolute limit, arguing that the recent decision shields the president from any form of accountability. Trump’s lawyers are now arguing that Tweets and conversations are “official acts” of the executive in an attempt to clear Trump of the only indictment that went to trial. Trump has pulled out every trick in the book, and with the help of a right-wing Supreme Court, he may be able to completely avoid paying for his crimes.
