Corruption is legal in the US - at least relative to other democracies. It takes a lot for anyone to be attacked by the justice system, let alone criticized by newspapers, for giving money to a politician. Look at how Guilfoyle isn't in jail yet (in fact she's out of the press now) despite literally requesting a bribe for 100k.

"Ethics violations" is as far as it goes. We would need a radical overhaul of the legal system, but how can you do that when the patients run the asylum?

The statute of limitations gives the next administration a year to indict her.
