Isn’t this like “proving a negative”?

Trump was supposed “know” that no fraud occurred?

Yes, it is. First, how can the State *prove* they knew what PDJT was _thinking_? They’re asserting they can. Second, even if you’ve some evidence to show that PDJT had admitted prior that he knew he lost, so what? A politician saying something they know not to be true is now a criminal act? He said on J6 to go “peacefully”. Do they really want to set a precedent that a politician can be held criminally liable for a lie if somebody else acts on that lie?

That would criminalize speech based on opinion. Politicians and media would be guilty left and right. This also gives PDJT the first real possibility of bringing fraud evidence into an actual trial.

One way or another, they’re going to regret this foolishness.
