3. Both federal and state law require the solicitation of fraud to be intentional. Trump's lawyers could argue that Trump BELIEVED there were 11,780 votes so he wasn't, in his mind, soliciting fraud Trump's best defense is his own delusional thinking https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

2. The basic fact pattern establishes both a federal and state crime. It is not legal for Trump to call Georgia's Secretary of State and ask him to find 11,780 votes that do not exist. And that's exactly what Trump did. But Trump does have a defense. https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

4. But there are aspect of the call that cut against that defense. Specifically, Trump repeatedly asks Raffensberger to find 11,780 votes -- the exact number needed to flip the result. Trump never appears interested in an accurate count, only a win. https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org
