59. It also isn't the job of the special counsel to make appraisals of Biden's

competence or his age

It is a hit job to hurt him in the election.

This is what Comey did to Hillary by implying that the email investigation was reopened, which it wasn’t, and then late Friday the weekend before the election Comey quietly came out and said nothing new was found.

The only difference is that was brought up 11 days before the election, and this bullshit was brought up 8 months before the election, but you can be sure that good ole boy Jake tapper and the gang at cnn will bring this up with the rest of the MSM every chance they will get.

This is another swift boating what they did to Kerry
