I feel for these women, but the truth of the matter is that the FBI will only investigate if it is likely that something will be turned into a case by prosecutors. And the reality of the way things work in America is, if you’re rich and powerful — or connected to a rich and powerful institution — it’s likely that prosecutors (many of whom have ambitions for elected offices or private sector jobs) are not going to be very interested in pursuing a case. Remember, it’s the Federal Bureau of Investigation, not Prosecution.
The not-so-secret truth of how things work in America is, it’s still really really easy to “get away with it” if you have enough money and power. The FBI has lots of flaws, but this isn’t really their fault — you might want to reform campaign finance, or close off revolving door jobs for government employees, if you actually want to solve these problems. Since many of these issues can be solved at the state level, it’s not actually impossible if enough people cared enough. But alas, that’s not how America works in 2022.
