Reading the book, "The Chicken Shit Club", it's a combination of the prosecutors being buddy buddy with the big defense lawyer firms (someone who has a reputation for going after white collar crime and being aggressive about it might not get a job with the big defense firms after their time in the DOJ or SEC or what have you), and Congress being buddy buddy with the execs and getting upset when the DOJ does their job.
