So did they find new information? Or just werent comfortable with the deal?
I'm sure it was all about not embarrassing Harris.
What does Harris have to do with it?
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.
That is pretty thin, but true. They can just wait until after election season, right?
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.
Plus her staff hates her, over 90% of her original VP staff have resigned
Thanks for explaining. I had the same question.
What happened to waterboarding enhanced interrogation techniques?
We just don't talk about them any more. Doesn't mean they went away. Short attention spans.
These are Guantanamo guys. The rules are different. Typical prosecutions don't involve the defense secretary. Even in traditional prosecutions, there are ways to unwind plea deals, depending on the facts.
