Attorneys must explain to America the doctrine of "willful ignorance."

Willful ignorance to facts isn't a defense against extortion, conspiracy to commit election fraud or seditious conspiracy. Trump is past the point of being legally required to understand Georgia's vote tally.

Those defending Trump by saying he "might actually believe" he won Georgia don't understand the doctrine of "willful ignorance," which precludes willful ignorance as a defense when a defendant knows w/ "high likelihood"—under a "reasonable person" standard—certain facts are true.

But beyond this, Trump incriminated himself on the #TrumpTapes by his own words—demanding that Georgia elections officials find just enough votes for him to win. He even cited the number he wanted.

This contradicts even the insufficient premise that he's "ignorant" of the facts.
