Yeah, because they didn't find any fraud, that's why. Well, any argument that 'Trump didn't know he lost', is squashed. His whole reasoning for believing he won was that 'Dems rigged the election' hence 'Stop The Steal'. He knew there wasn't fraud, and there is corroborative testimony, on top of this revelation that he paid a research firm to find fraud who found none and he suppressed the findings. Given that the prime moving reason for the rioting 1/6 mob's juggernaut of rage was that they were inculcated, over a period of months, over and over and over again that 'The only way Democrats can win is if they rig the election', long before the first ballot was ever cast (and to this day) which, in that juggernaut of forward attack and rage, 'STOP THE STEAL' was their mantra, this idea that 'he actually believed there was fraud', that defense strategy, if he is ever indicted (as she should be) will fall flat on it's face. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/11/trump-campaign-report-electoral-fraud/ An outside firm’s work was never released publicly after researchers uncovered no evidence that the election had been rigged for Joe Biden Former president Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign commissioned an outside research firm in a bid to prove electoral-fraud claims but never released the findings because the firm disputed many of his theories and could not offer any proof that he was the rightful winner of the election, according to four people familiar with the matter. The campaign paid researchers from Berkeley Research Group, the people said, to study 2020 election results in six states, looking for fraud and irregularities to highlight in public and in the courts. Among the areas examined were voter machine malfunctions, instances of dead people voting and any evidence that could help Trump show he won, the people said. None of the findings were presented to the public or in court.
