I used cabinet member as a stand in, mistakenly believing you would understand that he doesn't have to take any person or institution at their word. He is not required to believe any information put in front of him.

You have no PROOF he knew he was lying to the American people about what he believed. Sub in any other situation and your tiny little lizard brain might start working again. Let's see.... I was informed there was no proof of aliens by the federal government all through the 80s and 90s. I have also been informed there is unidentified craft that is beyond human capability that's also been recognized by the government. Neither position requires that I believe the other. The accounts exists. I don't need to believe it, regardless of who informs me. If I take a contrary position, it's not evidence that I set out to deceive people.

Awww. All you got is your cute little insults I see. 

Pathetic. 

I see you are too lazy to read the indictment that spells this out for you. 

His own Attorney General informed him that investigations found no fraud, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency told him their investigation found no fraud. The state of Georgia informed him via three different agencies/officials including an additional investigation by GBI that there was no fraud. Two private agencies he paid millions to investigate fraud told him there was no fraud. This list goes on for a long time. 

You should just pull up your big boy britches and go read the pertinent section of the indictment:
https://www.jan-6.com/_files/ugd/2cf5f9_...6e7911.pdf

Go to the bottom of page 6 - No.11 heading - and read that plus pg 7 and 8. 

He was informed by a wide, wide scope of different federal and state officials , cabinet members, advisors, lawyers, staffers and legislators that his claims were false. 

This odd little fascination you have with some burden of proof that he "believed" them or not is moot. 

Doesn't matter. 

He was informed of the reality of his situation and opted criminality to alter it over acceptance of his loss.  

You can insult me - you can whine that it isn't that simple - you can flounder about to concoct some way that his criminal actions were justified. None of that matters. 

He lost.
He was told that he lost by a legion of credible officials.
He chose to act criminally in response.
