From Trumps mouth
I would like you to do us a favor and

Trump asked Zelenskiy to work with Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr to look into Biden and his son

Or Giuliani’s public comments — like when he acknowledged in May that some might find his efforts to make Ukraine investigate Trump’s political rivals “improper” —

"Yet Trump can ask for dirt from a foreign government"

How do you know, without an investigation, that there wasn't actual wrongdoing? If an investigation uncovered actual corruption, is that "dirt"? Or is it "truth"? You are awfully afraid of seeking the truth on this issue.

"He can say there was no quid pro quo"

It's not just him saying it. Every single witness who has firsthand knowledge, denied it. Every. Single. One. Zero exceptions.

Again, you're saying the offense was the quid pro quo. Right? How did Biden not engage in quid pro quo? Yes, Trump wanted a political opponent looked at, and Biden wanted a crook fired. But both times (assuming Trump demanded quid pro quo), Biden/Trump used the leverage of a quid pro quo to get what they wanted. But it's only an issue when Orange Man does it. If he did it, an allegation for which there is precisely zero evidence.
