Prosecutorial discretion is a normal part of a DA's job. If extenuating circumstances exist, a DA can charge a lessor crime. If exculpatory or insufficient evidence exists, a DA can decline to bring charges.

These circumstances are altogether different from a DA making blanket declarations that they will not bring charges for certain crimes. The latter indicates a dereliction of duty. They're not doing their job.

Elections are a dirty business. The candidates who spend the most money are often the winner.

Nefarious foundations donating large sums of money with the intent to install DAs who will subvert justice could be seen as a threat (and a conspiracy) to the US justice system and prosecuted as a crime.
