So the first 3 volumes of Smith's evidence against Trump are released. About 70% still sealed, but, pretty damning stuff, which is all either their own messages, or testimony from Republican staff under oath:

F) They knew, well in advanced, and admitted in testimony and email, that the VP did not have this power, and that the Supreme Court would not hold up this case, proving they knew it was illegal.
(Although they thought maybe Clarence Thomas would side with them..)

J) 5 of the "Fake Electorate" packages that Trump's team had tried to hand over to Pence, used the exact same template for vacancy filling pages.
These pages do not normally have a standard across states, showing coordination. But the source proof is still under seal.

So Trump and his team *in their own words*:
-Knew they lost
-Knew it was not legal for Pence to over turn
-Knew the states did not have fraud issues
-Researched "alternative electors" a month in advanced of those claims
-Knew the documents were unofficial
-Took part in the transfer process
-And attempted to pass off forged documents directly to the VP
-Because of a pre-meditated plan to steal the election.
The first volumes represent 1889 pages of evidence, 70% still under seal.
This is just from the 30% unsealed, and there are more volumes to go.
The case could not be more clear.
And as a reminder, Trump's team refused to dispute the authenticity of any of this evidence, they only ask for it to be delayed as it would "hurt their client" during the election.
