I know the simplest answer is obviously they want to claim he's fine so that he can point to it and have a reason to never step down from power, however...
Shit like this I kind of just see as a giant stick to whack people over the head with. Part of sort an ongoing psyop, for lack of better word, to reinforce the idea of your powerlessness and imaginary feeling of everything.
I'd also lump the murder... I mean suicide of Epstein in this category. Shit that everyone can see/did see plain as fucking day and then the news media all jumps in lock step to repeat a narrative over and over and over again "no, he killed himself. No he killed himself. Him being murdered is a right wing conspiracy! Do you love Putin?"
And don't even speak about the Bush family, most specifically George H W and his INSANE life of MULTIPLE TOTAL COINCIDENCES.
And I know I went from mundane "who cares" with McConnell (he's ultimately a figurehead. The man matters little. Although, you know... I probably can't freely type what should happen to that turtle) to one of the premier conspiracies in US history, but I think that's actually the point. Everything from McConnell's very clearly having some sort of stroke or seizure or whatever all the way up to the schma-ssination of the schm-esident is lied about or at least very heavily redacted and specific details withheld and order of events changed in provable or at least "requires further reading" type ways.
A disembodied voice in the back of your mind: "Nothing is real, everything is real. Believe us while we lie to your face."
It's all some trance-like shit to make the absorption, or rather repelling, of horrific news easier to pass along. Everything becomes debatable, even things you can see in recording. I mean, truly, how can you demand more of your government/media when you see a man's eyes goes blank, basically flies fucking walking across them, in a recorded video TWICE and you're told both times "nope. You're wrong. He's fine. Stfu, move along." You can't even force them to admit clear shit like that and you expect to change policy?
"It's easier to lean back into the stupor and forget you ever thought anything could change. Focus on your little garden. Maybe chat with a buddy."
Never for a second give a thought to the universe of shit they lied about and hide in little vaults and piles of harddrives which officially "don't exist."
"Even if you got access, would you believe it?"
Either that, or, I dunno. Maybe he was just dehydrated.
"Pay no more attention over here."
You can just skip all this thinking if you remind yourself how easy it is to get a doctor's note, and infer how easily powerful fuckfaces ger more important documents.
Beyond that... Liberals misunderstand how media controls thought. They think in 1D terms, media that lies and media that tells the truth, when how often a thing is mentioned or in what context are far more important than the fact of it being said. I guarantee this, if all news media mentioned some crime or coincidence in HW's past after every fifth time his name was mentioned, starting on his election day, he'd be fucking impaled on the lawn of the white house before the first state of the union. Yet he was allowed to die a sweet old man, fondly remembered by man. As will his son, the painter.
Personally I am a contrarian about this in that I think that he did kill himself, but it was under the order of his superiors. I notice the "Epstein didn't kill himself" meme acts like it "solved the problem" when people proudly share it, but it only makes people complacent and stop their investigation there. The conspiracy theory is a government conspiracy designed to stop people looking deeper into his death and declare "mission accomplished" at deciding he was murdered rather than following the trail further and noticing how all the rich and powerful in the US were connected to him and how deeply corrupt the US system is at its core.
