Hur actually said that Biden was a sympathetic defendant whom a jury would not convict. That's very different from outright declaring him incompetent to stand trial. Someone who is incompetent doesn't understand the gravity of the situation, doesn't understand what being a defendant in a court of law means, doesn't understand his rights or whether his rights are being adequately defended or not, and doesn't understand what his counsel is telling him regarding the options given to him in pleas, motions, bench rulings, etc.
I think we would both agree that Biden does not meet that definition of incompetent to stand trial.
There are other media analysts who say that Hur made an assumption of possible defense strategies and then made the decision not to prosecute based on those assumptions, but that it is not the job of a prosecutor to suggest defenses. The prosecutor should have indicted and then let the defense assume whatever strategy it wants.
Basically, Hur said that "no reasonable prosecutor" would indict a Democrat.

No, it doesn’t. But while entirely, it’s mostly cosmetic service media running with the incompetant wording. And that doesn’t influences a lot of people’s thoughts.
Exactly.
It’s almost like there are one set of laws for Democrats, and another set of laws for the political enemies of the Democrats...
