There is reportage this morning of another Trump paid-for report that informed Don Trump and his enablers that he had legitimately lost. Another report given to him prior to the January 6th seditionist attempt to stop the Electoral College count, and the terrible violence that that attempt engendered.
We know, as has been linked several times on this venue, that Trump's own hired pollster, Tony Fabrizio, informed him that interviews, polling, and findings revealed that more people voted for Biden than Trump because they believed Trump untrustworthy and incompetent. And Trump knew of those findings before the terrible violence of January 6th.
And we also have the under oath testimony of White House staffers and insiders who revealed Trump had been emphatically told he legitimately lost, and he had even had acknowledged that he lost. But he still instigated the terrible violence against America on January 6th. I bring it to this forum as a counter to other posters who insist that Trump was de-frauded....by dead people, and double-dip voting despite credible information that that was not the case. And I also bring it to this venue to emphasize the widespread belief that what Trump did after he received these various reports --that he paid for -- was mendacious and terribly damaging to America.
In my opinion, Don Trump need be held accountable for his mendacity against America.

It is a long piece in today's newspaper, but I have pulled some 'taster' paragraphs so you can get an idea of the reportage. The link to it is below. (I have underlined for emphasis some notable passages.)
From the headline:
"The “Project 2020” report conducted by the Berkeley Research Group has now been obtained by prosecutors investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. ...... it shows that Trump’s own campaign paid more than $600,000 for research that undercut many of his most explosive claims. The research was never made public.
Don Trump to Raffensberger: “So dead people voted, and I think the number is close to 5,000 people. And they went to obituaries. They went to all sorts of methods to come up with an accurate number, and a minimum is close to about 5,000 voters,” he said, without citing his study.
But a report commissioned by his own campaign dated one day prior told a different story: Researchers paid by Trump’s team had “high confidence” of only nine dead voters in Fulton County, defined as ballots that may have been cast by someone else in the name of a deceased person. They believed there was a “potential statewide exposure” of 23 such votes across the Peach State — or 4,977 fewer than the “minimum” Trump claimed.
In a separate failed bid to overturn the results in Nevada, Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that 1,506 ballots were cast in the names of dead people and 42,284 voted twice. Trump lost the Silver State by about 33,000 votes.
The researchers paid by Trump’s team had “high confidence” that 12 ballots were cast in the names of deceased people in Clark County, Nev., and believed the “high end potential exposure” was 20 voters statewide — some 1,486 fewer than Trump’s lawyers said."
