They're coming after the old man in the Oval Office.
Alyssa Farrah Griffin, who served as former President Donald Trump's Communications Director, appeared on CNN to warn that she expects the GOP to unleash a torrent of no holds barred takedowns now that the special counsel investigating Biden's classified documents case reduced him down to an old fogey nearing senility.
"...he was exonerated, but we're not living in an era of goodwill in politics where we could expect the Republican side to take the high ground," Griffin said. "They're gonna play dirty here. They're gonna weaponize what we saw in this report about his age. And I'm not sure Biden is prepared to counter it as heavily as he needs to."

Special Counsel Robert Hur, appointed to investigate Biden by Attorney General Merrick Garland, decided to avoid charging the president at the conclusion of the 15-month investigation mostly because he cooperated and that if a trial were take place, it would be hard to reach a conviction, in which he described Biden as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
Shortly after he learned he had dodged criminal charges, Biden talked up his cooperation in a speech to Virginia Democrats.
"I did not throw up any roadblocks. I sought no delays,” Biden said, adding that Hur noted he returned the classified documents, while “Mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite.”
Griffin explained that the public is left to interpret Hur's decision as being cleared criminally, but not cleared physically nor mentally.
“We're more or less told that Joe Biden would not be mentally competent to sit for trial,” she said.
She added that she believes the decision (while coming up short of an indictment) becomes “a tremendous gift for Trump."
“Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have an age issue,” she said. “They've both had gaffes and questions about their mental acuity."
“But the perception of the two is the real issue here.”
She made mention of poll numbers favoring Trump’s stamina when pitted against Biden.
“Putting the indictments and the age aside, there is a different perception when it comes to Joe Biden. This just writing the Trump ads for himself.”
