Yeah he knows. I don't think it's cause he knows he'll be facing the gallows for treason either.

I don't think the good guys would choose this way (natural heart attack with the stress of it all etc) because half the country wouldn't believe it and with the media the way it is they will throw suspicion on Trump and his followers anyway.

Maybe the bad guys made him an offer he can't refuse like the Mafia do to those who look as if they are gonna snitch. You take this bullet and we'll make sure your family are safe and taken care of.

Or maybe no offer was made and he just figured out what they are gonna do to him to get Harris in. If his wife gave the tiniest shit about him she'd take him and run, confessing all. But of course she won't.

Just hope the good guys prevent whatever is planned.

(I'm not convinced that is the real Joe btw, the difference in his facial structure are not accounted for by face and eye lifts (even his damn eye color is different now. Which begs the question what happened to the real Joe?)
