People keep acting like this was a big secret. Stephen Miller went on Fox and bragged about it. Trump's lawyers referenced it in a court filing. And it was reported by NBC on January 5 that the Archives had announced that it wasn't sending the bogus certificates to the Capitol.

Anyone paying attention knew.
