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.

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).
