The difference it that what used to be a decade-defining major FBI scandal is more like monthly in the current administration.

I think they’re also doing good investigations into local crime rings that the states and prior administrations didn’t touch
The political prosecution vendettas are dumb but here in LA they are disrupting “Armenian” crime rings

This did strike me as quite a small scale crime for all the attention it's getting. I guess the notable part is using a couple celebrity athletes to recruit marks for rigged high-stakes poker games. If you think about it, poker games don't scale up into a truly big money. After paying off everyone involved, maybe they clear a few hundred grand in cash? That's chump change in modern organized crime.
