The problem is that it’s still Trump’s DOJ. There’s no way he will allow them to go after his family and enablers...

If any of those are prosecuted, it will have to be at the state level.

Yes, at the state level, but there are other civil remedies too along with state prosecutions:

- State criminal prosecutions: State attorneys general, district attorneys, and state law enforcement can independently investigate and prosecute fraud, bribery, corruption, tax evasion, embezzlement, and other violations of state law.

- Private civil lawsuits: Victims, investors, shareholders, and businesses may sue for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, misrepresentation, and damages.

- Civil RICO: Private plaintiffs injured in their business or property by qualifying racketeering activity may seek triple damages and attorney's fees under federal law.

- Shareholder derivative lawsuits: Shareholders can sometimes sue corporate insiders on behalf of a company for self-dealing, misappropriation, and breaches of fiduciary duty.

- False Claims Act lawsuits: Whistleblowers can bring lawsuits alleging fraud against the federal government. They may proceed even if DOJ declines to intervene.

- SEC and state regulators: Financial regulators can independently investigate securities fraud, financial misconduct, insider trading, and related violations.

- State consumer-protection laws: State attorneys general and, in some circumstances, private individuals can pursue deceptive business practices and fraudulent transactions.

- Congressional oversight: Congress can investigate alleged corruption, subpoena evidence, hold hearings, refer matters for prosecution, and pursue impeachment where constitutionally warranted.

- Obstruction of justice: Corrupt interference with investigations or official proceedings could potentially violate federal obstruction statutes, depending on the conduct and required intent.

- Whistleblower protections: Federal and state programs may provide financial incentives and legal protections to individuals reporting fraud and misconduct.

Bottom line: DOJ does not have a monopoly on accountability. State prosecutors, private litigants, whistleblowers, regulators, and Congress retain independent avenues to investigate and address wrongdoing.
