In conservative circles we’re wondering why he isn’t in prison already along with Brennan, Clapper and others.

Because there isn't evidence that can establish beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed acts that constitute all of the elements of a crime under the criminal code.

It's the same reason why so few people went to jail for causing the subprime crisis leading to the Great Recession. You can't just jail someone because they did a bad thing. You have to prove they committed all the constituent elements of an actual, defined crime. Many bad acts either aren't criminal, or are almost impossible to prove in the context of a white collar/non-violent crime.
