Democratic narrative:
- Trump’s co-conspirators, who are responsible for allowing him to nearly violate the Constitution and retain power, are talking tough now. But their past words and recent legal filings show they’re ready to turn on each other in order to avoid prison. When this all shakes out, as many plotters as possible must be held accountable to preserve democracy in the US.

Pro-Trump narrative:
- Willis’ case and the charges that have been brought violate several amendments of the Constitution. Giuliani and others did nothing more than their jobs as lawyers – advising Trump about how to handle his concerns about election fraud. The co-defendants are turning themselves in because they’re law-abiding citizens, but these bogus charges will never hold up.
