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. There will be no Federal prosecutions until 2029 at the earliest.
If any of those are prosecuted, it will have to be at the state level.
And let’s not forget that Trump still has his pardon power. A wide spread use of that to encourage faulty memories might help keep Trump out of prison once he’s out of office.
True, but if you uncover the deals you can draft legislation to stop them - and make sure that the legislation can fit into the reconciliation package. You'll also alert state attorneys general and foreign national law enforcement. You'll make it very uncomfortable for all the many businesses and investors and other private parties who have been facilitating these transactions. All these banks and investors and businesses are located in states that have their own regulations on white collar crime. To say nothing of civil suits, restitution, and potential prosecution (or civil enforcement) from a 2029 DOJ. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Julio Velutini didn't appreciate having his sweetheart deal with Habba splashed all over the front pages, and that sort of thing makes it harder for these folks to keep doing their stuff.
Oh, there's tons of stuff you can do if there have been people who have been breaking the law to enrich themselves under Trump. And it would be far more meaningful and effective to do that instead of a third useless impeachment followed by an acquittal.
