“...he was unable to adequately sanction the prosecutors....”
I suppose “adequately” may have been subjective. The rules for failure to comply include “..any other order that is just under the circumstances.”
. . . which sounds good - until you understand that what would be "just under the circumstances of having given the Democrats a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate by wrongly convicting the 40th Republican senator would be pretty harsh. And that is what happened in Judge Sullivans courtroom.And Sullivan wasnt even able to disbar the miscreant, or even to get him removed from being a prosecutor.
