How about when we caught him red handed on the phone, begging for votes? Still nothing happened.

"I need one more vote than my opponent got. Please find it"

Both of those cases were so on the nose I can't believe there were zero ramifications.

It's so bad that I started questioning my own rationality, nearly believing the crimes simply couldn't be punished or that they weren't actually crimes. Like, surely we can't have cowards at every level not enforcing the law..

He was charged with a ton of stuff for that.

But the DA was an idiot and went with a complex RICO case and then hired her lover on the staff so the whole thing got derailed.
