The issue is that many american prosecutors are absolute cowards.
In other countries, some prosecutors actually do their job. The headquarters of the ruling Spanish Political party was just raided by prosecutors and the police.

Why do US prosecutors refuse to do their job? You break the law. You get criminally prosecuted. It's not that hard.
That said, the problem is Republican voters never hold their elected officials accountable. Ever.
now that it is finally put to the test, cowardice seems to be an American trait not limited to prosecutors...
sadly it turns out that the USA is full of chicken hawks
Because win rates matter. If a prosecutor loses a bunch of cases everyone will assume they are wasting money and demand a new one. And/Or they are politizing the law to fulfill the agenda of another party or personal vendetta.
Yeah we need someone like “Big Balls” back in the government for some oversight
Good news, everyone!
(Not really good news)
So basically:
Prosecutors are minmaxxing the meta, bro!
Can't expect the arbiters of the law to have principles and integrity and shit, that's unrealistic!
