Republicans are such rabbid morons, they just project their tribalism on Democrats.
I couldn't give a shit about any individual politican and ANY that has done illegal shit I want prosecuted.
For some reason this simply does not compute in the Republican Neanderthal brain.
You could see this in action for quite some time as Donvict was found guilty of various crimes, such as stoking an insurrection and plotting a coup: "Oh yeah? Whatabout HUNTER'S LAPTOP!?"
IRL, I'd shrug and say...what about it? Sure if they find any actual there there, it should be pursued. That kind of reaction tends to totally deflate them. They want you to fly to the ramparts to defend YOUR criminal against THEIR criminal. I don't give that much of a fuck about Hunter or Joe (although I realize the accusations are probably just an actual witch hunt like they accuse everyone else of doing - just like they waged a jihad against the Clintons for nearly a decade which resulted in a land deal they lost money on and a stained dress.) and remain completely unbothered by any of this kind of bullshit.
If Bill or Hillary or Hunter or Joe were to get in legal trouble for legit reasons....shrug. So unbothered.
