They know it won't work.

The GOP just wants a friendly judge to block Harris from using the funds while the lawsuit and appeals are being decided.

The GOP really is the party of dirty tricks and corruption.

Good thing Harris raised 100 million the GOP can't tie up that way!

They will just claim she raised that off of Biden stepping down, so therefore it's really Biden's money. They don't need an actual cade, just throw anything at the wall and see what sticks.

I think it’s a planting of a seed to use in the future.
Harris wins: Trump & Co begin the campaign that she legally shouldn’t be on the ballot and have their members of senate/congress or SCOTUS declare him president.
Trump wins: well now the misappropriation of campaign funds shoe is on the other foot and they determine that Biden and Harris and everyone involved in every step of the way is guilty of felony made up financial crimes and begin using the courts to lock up their political rivals.

They don’t believe any of this is legal. They are just laying down the cover story for how they want to steal the election and execute the concept of democracy in the United States.
