[1] Reading the #Jan6thCommittee court filing: “[Despite being told that his allegations of campaign fraud were false, [Trump] continued to feature those same false allegation ads seen by millions of Americans.” Translation: Trump knew he was lying.

[2] On 1/2/21 Trump w/ John Eastman who #Jan6Committee deems a co-conspirator, had a tele co defense w/ hundreds of state legislators in SEIU states trying to get them to decertify the election results. Translation: Trump personally acted to advance the conspiracy.

[3] Trump wanted to make minion Jeffrey Clark head of DOJ. Clarke willing to send letters lying abt possibility election stolen to state legislatures to pressure them to decertify. His own WH Counsel threatened to quit. Translation: More evidence Trump knew it was wrong.

[4] Eastman memo acknowledges that. His “BOLD” plan to disregard Jan 6th results was “not planning by Queensbury Rules.” Pence Legal Counsel & others told them it was unconstitutional. Eastman admitted to that no SCOTUS Justice would agree. Translation: You know you’re wrong.

[5] Night of #Jan6th Eastman begged Pence’s lawyer, BEGGED, to “consider one more relatively minor violation” OF THE ELECTORAL COUNT ACT] & adjourn so states can finish investigations where Courts & DOJ had found no real evidence of fraud. Translation: ☄️

[6] #Jan6Committee reprints #Trump tweet after the riot that continued to lie about a stolen election after being told repeatedly by his own people it wasn’t stolen.

[7] Last thing I’ll say, this #Jan6thCommittee court brief is scorching in a normal world. It should make Trump kryptonite for anyone who embrace or defend him. It alone will not likely do that. But this cries out for criminal investigation.
