As I posted on another thread, "Wendell Willkie had evidence that FDR knew about the Japanese prepartions for the attack, and that he should thus be impeached. Willkie was persuaded not to present this evidence in his 1944 Presidential campaign by the Army (the war was still on), since it would reveal that the Japanese code system had been cracked, and so he did not."

Wilkie ran against Roosevelt in 1940. By the time the 1944 election rolled around he was dead. So unless he was clairvoyant I don't see how he could have used Pearl Harbor against Roosevelt.

It was in 1943 that he raised the issue among GOP leadership. He was preparing to run in the primaries.

Willkie died suddenly in October of 1944, well after the primaries and nominations.

Wilkie ran in the 1944 primary coming in third behind Dewey and MacArthur. He didn't die until October of 1944.
