No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

In other words, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment prohibits those who had “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same [United States], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” from serving in the government. It says nothing about such people being CONVICTED of sedition.

According to the CONSTITUTION, President Trump should not be able to run again regardless of whether the DOJ has enough courage/absence-of-corruption to pursue an indictment.

Surely there is some entity that can declare Trump ineligible given how DOJ has been corrupted.

I'm unwilling to say DOJ has been corrupted. They have successfully prosecuted a number of insurgents, for hard to prove charges (treason, basically), and Garland did a great job with McVeigh so he has cred. As AG he can't tell us what is happening with ongoing investigations and that makes him look bad.
