The Spin
Republican narrative
These charges prove that the IRS whistleblowers and GOP have been right all along about the Biden Dept. of Justice (DOJ) being in the bag for the administration. The DOJ got caught offering the president's son a sweetheart deal, so now Hunter Biden must face the consequences of his actions and there must be more investigation into what else the president is hiding.
Democratic narrative
If anything, the DOJ's extraordinary decision to charge the president’s son shows that justice is being served. While these charges are serious, they pale in comparison to what former Pres. Trump and his Republican allies had predicted. Although the current president's reelection campaign might deal with some distractions from Hunter's case, Joe Biden is not named anywhere in this indictment, as opposed to his likely opponent, Trump, who is facing dozens of indictments in multiple jurisdictions.
