They spent 5 years investigating claims of sexual abuse by Chavez.
They interviewed 60 people.
They got 3 women to go on record, by name, including the famous and respected Dolores Huerta.
They got family members to confirm that 2 victims told the relatives at the time that they were raped or molested by Chavez around ages 13 to 15.
They pored through emails and other correspondence.
They obtained DNA evidence proving Chavez had fathered several children out of wedlock.

If the FBI had investigated even a fraction of the most serious claims against Trump and had the Justice Dept. been willing to file charges, he would be in prison today, not the White House. Instead, they turned a blind eye and actively covered up evidence, as did Pam Bondi when she was in Florida sweeping Epstein's crimes under the rug. They didn't even go after other men who raped children on Epstein's island. At least Britain and some corporations and schools are making efforts to hold people accountable who cavorted with Epstein, but not the U.S. Justice Dept., which has lost all credibility.

I suppose the only accountability most of those pedophiles will have will happen in hell.
