I agree with the assertion that Trump knew that he lost but they don't offer any new proof for that assertion so I cannot see
it being a big deal.
Something slightly new to me on page 82 and 83 ,
"On the evening of January 6, the defendant (Trump) and CC1 (unnamed person my bet is Rudy Giuliani ) attempted to exploit the violence and chaos at the Capitol by having CC1 call Senators and attempt to get them to further delay the certification. At around 7:00 p.m., CC1 placed calls to five U.S. Senators and one U.S. Representative. CC6 attempted to confirm phone numbers for Members of Congress whom
the defendant had directed CC1 to call. In a voicemail that CC1 intended for one Senator, CC1 said, "I'm calling you because I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you. And I know they're reconvening at eight tonight, but the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states and raise issues so that we can get ourselves into tomorrow-ideally until the end of tomorrow." He then asked the Senator to "object to every state" to "give us the opportunity to get the legislators who are very, very close to pulling their votes." This concession that legislatures had not yet asked to review their slates stood in contrast to CC1 and the defendant's lies at the Ellipse that they already had. Next, in a voicemail intended for another Senator, CC1 told more lies He falsely claimed that Pence's decision not to use the defendant's fraudulent electors' certificates had been surprising, and that in light of the surprise, "we could use a little time so that the state legislatures can prepare even more to come to you and say, 'Please give this back to us for a while so we can fix it."" CC1 then repeated knowingly false claims of election fraud, including that non-citizens had voted in Arizona and an outcome-determinative number of underage voters had cast ballots in Georgia.
