twitter thread - It's clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony. 13 things jumped out to

1. The evidence presented in Jack Smith’s filing all comes from Trump insiders under oath. People within Trump’s circle of trust. Republicans dedicated to Trump.

2) Before election day, Trump told campaign insiders that he would declare victory regardless of the results.
That he would assert that only votes on election day counted.
Reason? Trump wanted to exclude mail-in ballots that he knew favored Biden (despite having voted by mail himself).

3) By November 13th, Trump knew he had no evidence of election fraud and had the lost legal challenges that could allow him to win the election. By November 13th!
Still, Trump continued to lie publicly about election fraud.

.... The Tangerine Traitor is so cunning and crafty,... no wonder he is such a highly successful businessman. He is a billionaire many times over. He does not allow ethics to impede his climb to the top.

Make trDUMP Great Again.

That's all the G.O.P> has: The Big Lie, and all the little lies they tell to keep the big shitty one afloat.

The republicon moral degradation is a historic low for humanity.
