"Well, it doesn't feel good that my colleagues who had information that the committee needed basically blew off a subpoena that the committee sent that was duly authorized," Lofgren said. "So, that is not positive. We referred that matter to the Ethics Committee. But it doesn't make them look particularly eager to uphold the law when they have defied it."

Speaking to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, former special assistant to the Manhattan District Attorney, Mark Pomerantz, said that they could have gone after Donald Trump for a RICO case, but the department didn't have enough resources.

Measures short of criminal prosecution had been used against trump, and he had dismissed them as trivial," Pomerantz's new book, People vs. Donald Trump.
