I have a few guesses. Though they are just guesses.

• not rich enough
• didn’t go to country clubs and golf meets to play politics
• was independently sourcing his own pedophilia (which if I recall I think was the case, wasn’t it? He wasn’t in with Epstein and the Boys, he was doing his own thing. They don’t have to cover for him)

I expect some combination of any or all of the above would end up with him in court and nobody really coming to back him up.
