The problem is that when one side has truly become corrupt, they frame their opponents as corrupt, especially when they're taken to account later.
And when both sides are corrupt, they're playing the same game.
Go take a look at how the Biden administration threatened the news media to not cover Joe's dementia. And let's not forget how many criminal charges were made against Trump to no avail, except on in New York, one of the most corrupt lefty places in the US (after California).
After Trump one the first time, he did not prosecute Hillary Clinton for the email server, despite conclusive proof that it seriously damaged national security, presumably because his advisors told him it would set a very bad precedent for the winner to jail the loser. But the Democrats set that precedent, so Trump is playing by their rules.
