you say, when democrats do it at least, that using quid pro quo is acceptable to achieve worthy goals.
you also say it’s worth finding out what the biden’s did.
if you put your two principles together, why isn’t it ok for trump to use quid pro quo to achieve what you concede is the worthy goal of seeing what the biden’s were up to?
if a=b, and b=c, doesn’t a=c?
yes, unless trump is involved.

My original post was not entirely clear.
I corrected it to explain the difference.
If you have a job and negotiate what you are supposed to efficiently, then you get to keep your job. That's the benefit to you.
If you have a job and negotiate what you are supposed to and you tell the party you are negotiating with that in order to make the deal
they have to give you personally something of value in addition to your legal purpose. That's self-dealing.
Like do me a favor.
