A major problem with our very strict criteria for a guilty verdict in criminal law, unanimity, is that in a country where about half voted for the un-indicted twice impeached former guy, it would be hard to avoid hung juries.
Civil law is more flexible, with the preponderer of evidence to win the case. Unfortunately many of the miscreants know full well that the hard core followers would be delighted to contribute to cover any fines or penalties.
Together these factors have served that administration very well, even without having pardon authority until 2024 when all Federal Crimes will disappear in a flash.
There needs to be a way to put some teeth into law, similar to those laws that prevent convicted criminals from profiting from their crimes or civil violations, by writing a book or selling movie rights glorifying their misdeeds.
