Courts do not file charges or spin off criminal proceedings in the middle of an ongoing civil trial - it's not like forking something on GitHub. I think the Office of the Inspector General inside the DoJ would appoint a prosecutor whose job it would be to investigate and file charges if appropriate. Alternatively, Congress also has powers to initiate investigations of the executive branch.
People do sometimes go to jail for this sort of thing, but it's rarely front page news because the cases are so technical, and because the prosecutions take so long that the general public usually ends up losing interest, if they ever had any to begin with.
