@TrevorGoodchild @judgedread Whitmer is an interesting one with the setup for the plot on her, she must have connections.

But the question of "why didn't they use Shapiro" is pretty much 1 of 2 things

1. He Refused - or -
2. Kamala's Team felt threatened.

Give the aside of "they didn't have a lot of time to vet Walz" it feels like #1.

This is also likely why there weren't a ton of shenanigans in PA either.

Note that the feds wanted to come into TX to "monitor" things an Texas said "yeah go fuck yourself" and got a court to agree.

Lots of interesting little tidbits to assemble.
