Let me put on my Democrat hat before I proceed. OK, ready.
No such decision has been made in a court of law. This is your opinion and you have a right to express it. You don't have a right to state as fact what hasn't been adjudicated. Isn't that exactly what we are being told about allegations against Biden? No guilty verdict so he didn't do any of this?
Well sometimes and I'll point to Eric Holder in the Obama administration. And at the risk of complaints by 1BM1 about "whataboutism", here are the facts.

But back to Hillary disregarding a subpoena.

And No such decision has been made by a court of law on this matter regarding Trump. Merely your opinion that a criminal act rather than a civil violation occurred.
Also not found guilty in a court of law. And I would argue that you are using the word "misuse" incorrectly in this matter. Misuse in this case, as well as Hillary's case, would be giving or selling such information, using for nefarious purpose. James Comey told us at least 6 times that Hillary lied under oath, that she broke the law but that she didn't intend to "misuse" that information. So unless Trump can be found guilty of "misuse" he should get the same outcome as Hillary if we indeed have equal justice under the law.
And so is the evidence against Biden "overwhelming". So if you have the right to say that against Trump, I have the right to say that against Biden even though neither has been charged in a court of law and found guilty, YET.
I guess I'll have to assume you didn't hear the opinion of the ones I heard from. If the Director of the FBI says that Hillary lied on multiple occasions ( would you like me to produce the Youtube clip for the 10th time ) then she obstructed justice no matter what else happened. Figured I'd do a little research and came across this from the Washington Post that wait for it, seems to agree with you. Shocker huh? You can read it but what most interested me was this tidbit about "whataboutism" that I found interesting and thought I would share since it seems to be an ongoing theme from the left.

The article goes on to make comparisons which I'm not going to take apart individually but will say, I disagree with much of the analysis. And have heard from former prosecutors that an absolute comparison can be made and just because Hillary had all that information on a server, that she wasn't allowed to have and Trump had "paper", is also ridiculous.
Again, only looking for equal justice in this matter, not defending Trump. Trying to hold the FBI, DOJ and courts accountable which we should all be doing regardless of party or person.

Those are serious crimes. No, Trump has not been found guilty of any crimes as of this point in time but the investigation is in its infancy.
Yes, Hillary Clinton was guilty of some crimes but in the opinion of most, minor compared to Trump's infractions, if found to be true. No, I never saw the u-tube video about Clinton allegedlly lying.
"The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida residence because, as federal prosecutors said in a fiery court filing in August, they believed not only did the former president possess “dozens” of boxes “likely to contain classified information” but also that “efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.” In that search, the FBI said it did remove over 100 classified documents, some of which reportedly contained information about nuclear weapons. That’s all part of just one investigation into possible violations of the Espionage Act, the improper handling of federal records, and obstruction of a federal investigation."

"No, the FBI's Trump investigation is not just like the Hillary Clinton email probe. Here's why
"James Comey read off a list of all ... Hillary Clinton's crimes, only to say that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute," Trump said of the former FBI director in a social media post this past weekend.
But a review of government documents from both investigations suggests there are key differences between the evidence uncovered in Clinton's case and the evidence already publicly documented in the Trump investigation."
