As the January 6 committee investigating the Trumpist coup attempt at the Capitol wraps up, it's providing evidence to Fulton County DA Fani Willis of the Malignant Loser's criminal intent regarding his attempt to corrupt the vote in Georgia. The evidence that the committee is providing sheds light on the Malignant Loser's knowing intent as he tried to get Georgia officials to "find 11,780 votes" for him to illegally win the state. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is winding down, but the panel is handing Fulton County prosecutors something valuable before it disbands: key evidence about what former President Donald Trump and his top advisers knew as they pressed Georgia officials to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
The information is crucial for establishing mens rea, the Latin term that refers to criminal intent, which is a prerequisite for securing criminal charges in court.
Legal experts interviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution believe that during its nine public hearings, the Select Committee has presented evidence that could aid Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis should she decide to press charges.
'These hearings have been a boon for her prosecution,' said Norm Eisen, an attorney and ethics czar to former President Barack Obama who’s been closely following both investigations. 'They’ve taken us into places that it might have taken her years to gain access to: the inner sanctum of the Oval Office ... the halls of the Department of Justice.' [snip]
Taken together, that information undermines a potential defense from Trump that he genuinely believed he was the winner of the election when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, and asked him to 'find' nearly 12,000 votes — a central part of Willis’ investigation — said Brandon Bullard, an Atlanta-based appellate attorney." (our emphasis)
We know from the committee's hearings that the Malignant Loser was planning on declaring the election was fraudulent if he lost long before election day. His plan was to get Republican state election officials and friendly state legislatures to fraudulently declare him the winner and to present fake electoral votes for him. Multiple witnesses have testified that the Malignant Loser acknowledged that he had lost the election in their presence. One witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, is cooperating with Fulton County's investigation. The Fulton County DA's office now has evidence in hand that the Malignant Loser knew he lost, and should move ahead with charges of voter fraud against him.
