If the DOJ actually wanted him convicted they’ve had plenty of time to do it so far, but they’ve been pissing it away for 4 years.
I know someone is going to chime in and say “BuT tHeSe ThInGs TakE TiMe”
Not 4 fucking years they don’t, federal court cases typically take ~12 months to get to trial, but even if this novel case with unprecedentedly high profile defendants could justify twice the amount of time a normal case does, he would have been in jail 2 years ago.

The DOJ also was up against unfriendly judges that made stuff drag out unnecessarily.
And the saying is, “when you after the king, you best not miss.”
Keep in mind they needed tax evasion to imprison Capone.
The judges didn’t become a problem until after Merrick Garland (a conservative) waited years to start the investigation.
Congress did a complete investigation long before the DOJ lifted a fucking finger. Garland should be considered a GOP operative at this point.
