(13,180 posts)Trump asks, "Can you believe I lost to this guy?" That's far from an admission. He's questioning the believability of his loss, not saying he believes it.
But his belief shouldn't matter. Trump's big boast about shooting someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and getting away with it shows what he believes. The law doesn't apply to him.

(6,278 posts)It's damning if Trump admitted privately that he'd lost, as it would mean he was lying to his supporters with the intent of reversing an election he'd lost. It proves that he was a fraud, rather than sincerely questioning whether the election was legitimate.

They could very well convict him not for trying to overturn an election but for fleecing his cultists
