I can see it already: "Ha! Hunter Biden did crimes! Do you think he should go to jail?"

"Well, yes, we do."

"Gotcha! Why should Biden go free when Trump is being indicted?"

"That's not at all what we said."

"Clearly you're just playing political favoritism! Witch hunters!"

Remember when Epstein was arrested and Democrats said Bill Clinton should be held to account and Trumpies were like, "Yeah!" but still said Trump shouldn't be?

It's a cult.

My argument has always been "if he's done the crime, he should do the time". And one of the things that always kills me about Hunter which perfectly illustrates your point is how much they hate the fact that Hunter has gotten lucrative jobs and deals based on his father's political standing. Yet when you mention anything sketchy about the deals that Ivanka and Jared got? They clap their hands over their ears or make whatever excuse they can think of for why those two shouldn't be held to the same standards relating to enrichment via political favors.
