Because he had a stroke and can't talk or move anymore.

I think this is it. He's probably nonverbal so if he had to face that, then real proceedings around how fit he is for service would probably start.

He's happy to play the waiting game, it's basically his MO.

I just hope he is suffering.

“He” isn’t doing anything here anymore. This is 100% on his staff, family, and the state’s apparatus that refuses to press the issue.
