That’s because Trump was not the CEO of a legitimate organization; it was a family-owned real estate firm that engaged in criminal activities during its entire existence, including dealings with the mob (traditional and Russian). It is tiresome that the wealthy can engage in such behavior without repercussions; there should be a special division of the Justice Department devoted to investigating and bringing to justice those who engage in this widespread flouting of the law.

The DOJ does have a white collar crime division though. It’s the Fraud Division. As with most things, it’s underfunded compared with other crime areas.

Under Trump, the DOJ has shifted focus away from right wing domestic terrorism, civil rights enforcement, etc., to focus on undocumented persons.
