How many posters on this site are just fine with Donald Trump's success in railroading Republicans into supporting his false claims of voter fraud?

President Trump pressed senior Justice Department officials in late 2020 to declare the election corrupt even as those officials pushed back, warning the president that many of the claims he was hearing about voter fraud were false, according to notes taken by an aide who participated in the discussions.
The notes were released to Congress this week and made public on Friday further evidence of the pressure Trump brought to bear as he sought to throw out President Biden's election victory.
In one Dec. 27 conversation, according to the written account, acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen told Trump the Justice Department "can't + won't snap its fingers + change the outcome of the election."
The president replied that he understood that, but wanted the agency to "just say the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen," according to notes of the conversation taken by another senior Justice Department official, Richard Donoghue.
Here are the handwritten notes from the meeting: https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/read-richard-donoghue-s-handwritten-notes-on-trump-rosen-calls/cdc5a621-dfd1-440d-8dea-33a06ad753c8/?itid=lk_inline_manual_1
