Which part of this says anything about prosecuting people? Only thing that stands out to me is that bit at the bottomImproving Accountability and Whistleblower Protection at the Department of Veterans Affairs
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose.
This order is intended to improve accountability and whistleblower protection at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by directing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (Secretary) to establish within the VA an Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection and to appoint a Special Assistant to serve as Executive Director of the Office.
Section 2. Establishing a VA Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection.
(a) Within 45 days of the date of this order, and to the extent permitted by law, the Secretary shall establish in the VA the Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection (Office), and shall appoint a Special Assistant, reporting directly to the Secretary, to serve as Executive Director of the Office. The VA shall provide funding and administrative support for the Office, consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Office shall:
(i) advise and assist the Secretary in using, as appropriate, all available authorities to discipline or terminate any VA manager or employee who has violated the public's trust and failed to carry out his or her duties on behalf of veterans, and to recruit, reward, and retain high-performing employees;
(ii) identify statutory barriers to the Secretary's authority to discipline or terminate any employee who has jeopardized the health, safety, or well-being of a veteran, and to recruit, reward, and retain high‑performing employees; and report such barriers to the Secretary for consideration as to the need for legislative changes;
(iii) work closely with relevant VA components to ensure swift and effective resolution of veterans' complaints of wrongdoing at the VA; and
(iv) work closely with relevant VA components to ensure adequate investigation and correction of wrongdoing throughout the VA, and to protect employees who lawfully disclose wrongdoing from retaliation.
© In establishing the Office, the Secretary shall consider, in addition to any other relevant factors:
(i) whether some or all of the functions of the Office are currently performed by an existing VA office, component, or program;
(ii) whether certain administrative capabilities necessary for operating the Office are redundant with those of another VA office, component, or program; and
(iii) whether combining the Office with another VA office, component, or program may improve the VA's efficiency, effectiveness, or accountability.
Section 3. General Provisions.
(a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(C) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. -

I read the entire thing start to finish before I posted it, I don’t just talk shit I back it up.
Nothing in there says anything about prosecution. It’s all about setting up an investigation task force and a whistleblower hotline. Absolutely nothing on prosecuting crimes that were, for some unknown reason, previously unprosecutable.
The stuff at the bottom even states the executive order is intended to work with existing laws, not create new ones to then prosecute -

Why even have an Executive Order, if things were already peachy before and they were all going to jail before? Obviously, they weren't, but now they are, and you are a liar. -

What part of the executive order says anything about making them able to prosecute crimes that couldn’t previously be prosecuted?
That’s the claim you made, and if you can’t explain how that’s the case, you’re the liar -

You didn't answer my question. Why create an Executive Order to deal with a problem that you claim doesn't exist? -
