At this point, the Jan. 6 committee’s hearings might as well be one big criminal referral to the Justice Department. And to make the case that Donald Trump and his allies broke the law, the committee has had to establish that they were acting corruptly — i.e., that they were likely to have known that their scheme was wrong and pursued it anyway.

To do that, the committee in its last two hearings has focused on two matters: that those involved in the push to overturn the election a) knew that their efforts probably were illegal and b) that they were told repeatedly that their claims of voter fraud were bogus.

Amid Jan. 6 Revelations, Election Lies Still Dominate the G.O.P.

A parade of Republican witnesses — his attorney general, William P. Barr, his daughter Ivanka Trump, and his own campaign lawyers — knew he had lost the election and told him so. Mr. Trump was informed that the demands he was making of Mr. Pence to block his defeat unilaterally were illegal. Even the most active coup plotter, the conservative lawyer John C. Eastman, conceded before Jan. 6 that his scheme was illegal and unconstitutional, then sought a presidential pardon after it led to mob violence.

Evidence Trump’s team knew their plot was illegal

In Trump lawyer John Eastman’s own words:

In his memos outlining the plot to overturn the election on Jan. 6, Eastman said Vice President Mike Pence should simply disregard the Electoral Count Act because Eastman viewed it as unconstitutional.

In a Dec. 19, 2020 email, he conceded that having alternative electors who weren’t certified by state legislatures would mean they were “dead on arrival in Congress.” “… The textual claim that the ‘executive’ certification would prevail in such an instance over the legislature-certified slate is contrary to Article II” of the Constitution, Eastman wrote in the Dec. 19 email. He nonetheless pressed forward.
