Please see my previous comment. Here's the part to pay attention to:
The FISA Court that is supposed to provide critical oversight of the U.S. government's vast spying programs has limited ability to do so and it must trust the government to report when it improperly spies on Americans.
The courts are too busy and are leaving it up to the people doing the crimes to police themselves and report their crimes to the courts, on a "trust" based system.
The US President is in charge of the executive branch, isn’t he? So why doesn’t he order the justice department to arrest the criminals? There’s enough evidence to get a warrant surely.
In the U.S., the president isn't the boss of the justice department. This helps prevent the president from ordering the department to lock up a political opponent.
Congress should be scrutinizing the justice department for failing to do so, but I'm sure most of Congress is okay with it.
You’re right, the President isn’t in charge the attorney general is. So Merrick B. Garland is the person allowing this injustice to go unpunished. Can’t he be impeached for violating his oath to the constitution or something like that?

Why aren’t the people responsible in prison? Surely this is more serious than possession of weed.

Nobody is watching the watchers, that's why.

A politician will never arrest himself.
