pretty obvious he knew what was going on.
Dowless would not have been hired without someone to hire him.

You know Harris is looking for an escape plan and there are several countries that won’t extradite to the US.

And Harris knows that. It is the main reason he is not running again, imo. He will need to focus on defending himself. The health thing is just a convenient excuse.

to see GOP finally receiving due justice for attempting to play the system in their favor. This has taken place for too many times, too many years. Finally!
