4:30Now PlayingFormer White House aide Alyssa Farah Griffin says that Donald Trump KNEW he lost to Joe Biden in 2020, and actually admitted it before he went on his crusade about non-existent voter fraud. Claims like this could be key to taking down Trump's legal defense, assuming he is even prosecuted for his attempted coup. In order to prove criminal intent, more people like Griffin would have to come forward - with evidence - to back up their claims. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

A former white house aid may have just blown up Donald Trump's biggest and best defense. If, of course he ever gets prosecuted for any of the, uh, co attempts that he and his administration engaged in that former aid of course, is Alyssa Farra. Griffin, who recently said on CNN that Donald Trump knew he had lost the 20, 20 election legitimately to Joe Biden. And that she heard Donald Trump at one point, say, quote, can you believe I lost to this guy? That is what Griffin says. Donald Trump said, while watching Joe Biden on TV, can you believe I lost to this guy?
So it's a simple statement, right? So, so how does that blow up Donald Trump's best possible legal defense? What's actually very simple. If Donald Trump were to be prosecuted for any of the things that have been uncovered or exposed, which of course is a huge if, as it stands right now, honestly, I would love to see him prosecuted. I don't think it's gonna happen though. I, I no longer am optimistic about any of that. I just simply don't have any optimism left in me, but let's assume for a minute, merit Garland gets off his and decides, you know what? I'm gonna prosecute this guy. We got plenty of evidence. The judges have said there's clear evidence of criminal activity, so let's do it. So let's assume merit Garland does that. Donald Trump gets his legal team together. They go to court, what do they argue in order to get him out?
They would say he legitimately believed the election was stolen. And he was taking the necessary steps, given his office and his authority to try to uncover all of this voter fraud, they would have to prove that he legitimately believed these election lies. So what the prosecution would have to do in order, in addition to excuse me, you know, proving that he did all the things he's accused of, they would also have to prove that no, he didn't believe that crap. So statements like the one made by Alyssa Farra, Griffin, that Donald Trump came out and said, can you believe I lost to this guy that could ruin your whole defense problem is you gotta have evidence. You gotta have more than just a former aid saying, oh yeah, I totally heard him say that he lost. Yeah. So ha ha. You're going to jail. That's not gonna cut it in court. Right? Alyssa Farra, Griffin taking the stand and saying, yes, I heard him say this. The defense is gonna be like, do you have any evidence to prove this? Well, no, I don't. Okay. Then you could just be making this up, but I'm not, but you could be, but I'm not. But you could be. They're gonna create the doubt within the jury. That's gonna get tossed. So you need more people coming forward. You need corroborating witnesses. And then of course
You a chance to make it stand. But more importantly, if you have any kind of hard evidence of this, then you've gotta slam dunk because it's all about the criminal intent. If Donald Trump was doing the coup, just because he didn't wanna leave office a hundred percent criminal, if he legitimately believed there was fraud, that doesn't make it. Okay. But in the eyes of the law, it could give him an out to not be convicted of it. Now I don't believe for a second that he thought there was fraud. Absolutely not, not when any of this was happening now, I do think he does. I do think t
