Because all the pedo-enablers are currently in power because they entertain the pedo president, specifically. Hence they do whatever he says because that's how they stay in power. You can see from some recent movement in the Reps that they do know they need to offboard at the right moment, and they're starting to prepare for that, but right now it's how they stay in power.

And, it adds that since Trump is constantly extracting the money of american taxpayers for his personal wealth via the control the presidency gives him, this system enables Republicans to largely get away with the same thing, hence they probably not only gain power but also massive wealth from it.
