BUT...the legal system is very specific. He has to have had mens rea.

And I just told you what the mens rea was. Perhaps you misunderstood that the "intent to commit the crime (the actions)" is the mens rea? You seemed to think it was something different than that. Exactly what did you think the required mens rea was?

It has to be shown that Trump intended to enter into a conspiracy to commit the crimes (actions). His belief system about whether the election was fraudulent or not does not enter into the required mens rea.
