Just viewing this from a political perspective, if the Dems had any real brains, they'd ensure Hunter was found guilty, because then they could say "see, even a Biden is held accountable under the law, so it's fair, and so Trump's trial was also fair." But, when Hunter is found not guilty, it will forever serve as an indisputable comparison that will convince the fence sitters, and even some on the left currently, that the prosecution of Trump has really been a persecution fueled by a corrupt left. Many people, including many people of color, have gone to prison for illegal drug and gun possession. When they see the privileged son of the president walk, it will hit home, and they will move to support Trump, which by itself will hand Trump the election.
