The smaller fish may lead to the larger fish. This is what the federal government did with low level mafia to get at larger crime bosses using RICO laws. If some small fish are given the opportunity to plea, they may give up the larger operators. In fact, this may be a way to loosen grips blackmailers may have on some government officials. Every outlet relieves pressure in the system.
Someone also tweeted yesterday that when the public sees all these arrests it builds a case for this new administration, so that when high level arrests are made accusations of " it's politically motivated" are less likely to be made.

I wonder if they think they can wear us out with tons of small fish?
If that's the plan, I've been after pedos for almost 30 years so they better have a lot of little fish!
