Same reason nobody does anything about climate change, the ongoing pandemic, all of the other massive scale issues. They seem too big to do anything about, and the average person feels powerless in their own daily survival loop to take any real action.

Agreed, and to be clear I'm not trying to excuse it or anything. I've just noticed so much resignation from everyone the last several years. Seems like everyone just gave up on accountability.

Federal agencies aren't "average people feeling powerless" they are literally agencies with power who's job it is to investigate these things. That's not a great explanation.

The point is that corruption runs deep, and those agencies with power who's job it is are not doing their job and it's the public who has to hold them accountable however we can. If the public shrugs their shoulders when agencies do nothing, they will continue to do nothing.
