Closing take

By March 3, 2022, the Trump election lie was no longer a bold claim in search of proof. It was a documented operation in search of a rationalization. And every new filing made the same point more painfully clear: he was warned, he was told, and he kept going anyway.

Story

House filing says Trump was warned the election lie was unsupported

★★★★☆Fuckup rating 4/5 Serious fuckup

A March 2, 2022 court filing by the House Jan. 6 committee said it had a good-faith basis to believe Trump and allies may have engaged in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election, and cited evidence that Trump had been repeatedly told the fraud claims were unsupported.
