“In any event, I called [Redacted] and I said, look, you know, what the hell is going on here?  And he said, the trouble is that all these people on the outside, not just [Redacted], but others too, are filling the President’s ear with all this stuff about fraud, and they’re being very authoritative, and they know how to push the President’s buttons, and they’re telling him what he wants to hear, and he seems inclined to believe it or go along with it.”

This is it in a nut shell, right?  All of Trump’s White House attorneys told Trump there was no evidence of election fraud.  But Trump didn’t like that answer so he surrounded himself with a group of crackerjack attorneys, Rudy Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Cheesebro, on his own, as a private citizen, separate from official White House counsel, to try to stay in power.

I hope Jack Smith drops the hammer on these criminals.
