Bill Harris, longtime DOJ prosecutor, reappeared decades later at Bradley Croft’s trial. Why was Harris present every day despite not being lead counsel? This post exposes his history of retaliation, hidden coordination, and unresolved conflicts in The Great Scam.
Most prosecutors move on after a case. Bill Harris didn’t. Decades after his first prosecution of Bradley Croft, Harris reappeared in the courtroom for every day of a new trial — not as lead counsel, not as a named prosecutor, but as a shadow presence with unexplained influence. His role in The Great Scam raises hard questions about DOJ retaliation, secret coordination, and conflicts that were never disclosed.
Harris was no stranger to Bradley Croft. In the early 1990s, Harris was responsible for the first federal charges brought against him. That history should have raised immediate red flags when Harris resurfaced decades later. Instead, it went unmentioned — a silent conflict that shaped everything that followed.
Though not lead prosecutor, Harris attended every single day of Croft’s trial. His presence was never explained to the jury or the defense. When questioned, Harris deflected, pointing toward the official prosecutor as if to say “your client is trying to talk to me.” Yet his silent role speaks louder than words: he was invested in the outcome.
Harris’ reappearance wasn’t isolated. He was tied to Gregory Surovics, who suborned perjury, and to Thomas McHugh, the conflicted defense attorney. Behind the scenes, Harris’ fingerprints were on communications and strategy that undermined any chance at a fair trial. This was not coincidence — it was continuation.
Harris had a history of pressing Croft in earlier cases, including attempts to leverage investigations against third parties. His vendetta-style approach carried forward into The Great Scam, where he quietly guided the narrative without ever having to put his name on the record. Retaliation was his motive; silence was his shield.
Every actor in The Great Scam played a role, but Harris stands out because of his persistence. Most prosecutors close the book on a defendant once a sentence is served. Harris never let go. His shadow role connects the past to the present — proof that the case was never about justice, but about retaliation.
