Not sure if you're genuinely asking because you don't know, but the reason is because they have a policy for this (1). Personally, I find it both compelling and reassuring.

They have a public policy written down somewhere, but I'd wager the reasoning is more "we're not going to antagonize individuals who have a direct impact on our bottom line through legislation/prosecution." He lost that card.

I'm actually not sure if you're genuine or aloof. Talking about one last chance after someone does despicable things is despicable.

A policy that they've been ignoring where Trump is concerned for over 4 years now.
