I'm sure it was all about not embarrassing Harris.

What does Harris have to do with it?
reply
If a deal is seen as lenient, the Republicans can use the deal against her in the election. She is tied to the current administration as vice president. I can see the ads now. Harris locks up people for minor marijuana violations, but gives terrorists a plea bargain.

Yes, that's possible. Remember, Harris was a prosecutor who was very tough on non violent offenders.

I didnt know that. So now I see she cant go against that.
