The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

A great man and one of the most effective prosecutors in the history of the US is being taken down by politically motivated judges. Giuliani is being railroaded for doing his duty as Trump's lawyer to question the suspicious results of the 2020 election. If others don't speak out on Giuliani's behalf, the country's justice system could very well crumble.

Anti-Trump narrative

Yet another person who worked for Trump has lost their legal career over their relationship with the election-denying former president. In Giuliani's case, his dishonor was so egregious that he faces both criminal charges and a whopping financial settlement. He deserves every penalty coming to him after choosing to prioritize Trump over American democracy and laws.
