If anyone still doubts that it was Trump's desire and intention to subvert the election by any means available and seize power notwithstanding what he knew was electoral defeat, consider this, as related by Heather Cox Richardson in her Letter from an American yesterday. (Note that Trump has never repudiated Bannon, and was talking to him on Jan. 5, 2021).
More and more, witnesses seem to be siding with transparency and the committee rather than with Trump. Today, Dan Friedman of Mother Jones published a tape of Bannon on October 31, 2020, laughing as he explains to a private audience that Trump will "win" in 2020 simply by declaring he won, even if he didn't.
Trump knew that Democratic mail in ballots would show up in the vote totals later than Republican votes cast on election day, "[a]nd Trump's going to take advantage of it," Bannon said. "That's our strategy. He's gonna declare himself a winner…. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it's going to be a firestorm," he said. "You're going to have antifa, crazy. The media, crazy. The courts are crazy. And Trump's gonna be sitting there mocking, tweeting sh*t out: 'You lose. I'm the winner. I'm the king.'"
And, Bannon continued: "Here's the thing. After then, Trump never has to go to a voter again…. He's gonna say 'F*ck you. How about that?' Because…he's done his last election. Oh, he's going to be off the chain—he's gonna be crazy."
