I know some folks say good faith, or honesty in lay men's terms, is what the legal standard already is for him. But some people debate it.

But just in terms of justice, would it be fair to find him guilty if he was lying about his reasons to overturn the election, and let him go if his reasons for trying were honest?

I think there's a certain justice there, tho it looks like he knew he was lying, sometimes, while other times he had no grasp of reality and probably believed his own bullshit

There are laws where intent is a factor, and either through precedent or explicitly in the law state of mind is a factor.

In that tradition it would matter what law he is being accused of violating.

Trump is an old man. As much as I dont want him to be US president, putting him in prison seems cruel.

I have a riddle.

What is it that the more you take, the more you leave behind?

Imagine if Al Gore was sent to prison for questioning the integrity of an election for 36 days, since we all know Bush won the election....

Would it even matter if Al Gore believed he was cheated or if he was lying about being cheated by Florida election officials?

A ridiculous comparison by a ridiculous person 

The Bush Gore election was very close
It was appropriately challenged in the courts
Gore never told a Big Lie or summoned a mob to violently obstruct the transfer of power

Look, you can’t come on here and lie, and expect to be treated with respect. A liar should be called a liar.
