onepoorguy: Hmmm. That's interesting. I read an analysis in the NYT that indicated that the prosecutor is going to have to prove his state of mind.

Gotta' link? That's a bad take. None of the statutes charged require a jury to determine his state of mind.

Criminal intent can be established by proving some, or all, of the following charges: Trump deceitfully attempted to get states to overturn the election results, the electoral certificates Trump utilized in his scheme were false, Trump attempted to leverage the Justice Department to use deceit to replace legitimate votes with Trump votes, Pence did not have the authority to override the electoral votes or pause the count of electors on Jan. 6, Trump exploited the violence and chaos at the Capitol on that day toward these ends, or that Trump intended to prevent the electoral votes of the American people from being counted correctly.
