Am I wrong to think that these lines in a report seem pretty unprofessional given this is a pretty typical outcome of any interrogation? Was his public perception under investigation?
The special council, Robert Hur, is a Republican. That party has been pushing the meme that Biden is "senile" with "crippling dementia" for years. I would assume that a part of the optics of this entire affair, as was the case with the Benghazi hearings (admitted by Kevin McCarthy to be entirely about damaging Hillary Clinton in the polls) and James Comey reopening the Clinton email investigation, is intended to damage the Democratic candidate's election chances in the public eye.
All Special Counsel in the last quarter century have been Republicans, as have all directors of the F.B.I. over the entire history of that bureau. No Democrat has been the Attorney General lately either. There is apparently a little-known clause of the Constitution that only Republicans can hold these offices.
