The Spin
Republican narrative
Any judge could see that the original plea agreement was a sweetheart deal and the son of the sitting president was getting special treatment. Noreika was right to object, and prosecutors are correct in their intentions to take Biden to trial. Of course, it’s unprecedented for someone as connected to the case as Weiss to be named special counsel, so it’s still not clear whether Biden will still receive favoritism.
Democratic narrative
The prosecutors in this case are in disarray and they should abide by the agreement they made. After all, they dictated all the terms and Biden went along with them. There won’t be any new charges coming down the pipe, so something resembling the original plea deal would be the best resolution to this case.
