This document could be hugely important to Jack Smith and Fani Willis: it would show that Trump knew, at least as of 1/15/21, that he had not won the election and was returning to his private life & business,"
Gotta say I disagree. It shows he knew he would be out of the presidency, shows he wouldn’t be fighting to stay extra judicially, but we all know he left the presidency on the 20th. This just shifts the timeline by 5 days.
The implication here is that he knew that he lost a free and fair election…and he DID do that, we all know that, but this doc doesn’t prove he believed that. He could have easily believed there was fraud but be resigned to that fact, this is all after Jan 6th so there was no hope of Pence overturning the election anymore.
Luckily, you don’t need to prove he knew he lost, you have to prove a reasonable person should have known. His own lawyers can testify that they told him he lost. That is the actual evidence that they need.
