Losing temple recommends?

He's the ward clerk and the stake member in question has a grudge against him because he got a divorce.

It may be that the interviewer has the gift of discernment and simply was told the answers (or rather the spiritual worthiness) and didn't need to probe further. I have had experiences on my mission when doing baptismal interviews where I knew to tell the person they need to wait a little longer before baptism. It had some to do with the answers but more importantly it was the spirit telling me what was best for this person. and in some cases it is to wait. Other times, I just knew the person was prepared and ready for baptism. I imagine the same spiritual knowledge is given to Stake Presidents and Bishops when they are set apart for those callings.

I'm not entirely sure that whether to ask the questions or not is left to the discretion of the interviewer. As far as I know, they have to ask the questions regardless.

Yes, they are supposed to ask every question regardless of whether they think they know the answer anyway.
