President Donald Trump walks on the tarmac as he arrives on campaign travel at Dobbins Air Force Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, on September 25, 2020.Tom Brenner/Reuters Robert Sinners said he and others were "useful idiots" for taking part in the phony 2020 electors plan. Sinners, who now works for Brad Raffensperger, was the Trump election day operations director in Georgia. "We were just kind of useful idiots, or rubes at that point," he told the January 6 investigators. Robert Sinner, a former campaign staffer for Donald Trump, during an interview with January 6 investigators lamented that he and others who sought to assemble fake electors to push the election in the former president's favor were simply "useful idiots" for taking part in the plan.While speaking with investigators, Sinners — who was the Trump election day operations director in Georgia — expressed displeasure with the scheme to overturn now-President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the Peach State."We were just kind of useful idiots, or rubes at that point," he said in a video recording that was shown during the January 6 committee hearing on Tuesday.When told by an investigator that former Trump campaign officials Justin Clark, Matt Morgan, and Josh Findlay were unwilling to take part in convening fake electors, Sinners said he was "angry" at the situation."I'm angry because I think in a sense no one really cared if people were potentially putting themselves in jeopardy," he said.
