People keep saying that people should report elite pedophiles to the FBI, or to the police.
This is delusional.
First off, while the FBI does investigate and arrest "little people" pedophiles, They never go after Pizzagate-leverl pedophiles.
They are in fact, in charge of covering up for these pedophile rings.
If you want to see how that works, read Nick Bryant's book The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal
In that book he describes in minute detail how FBI agents colluded with local police to intimidate the victims of the Franklin scandal into silence, even killing one of them and railroading two of them into jail.
Also, sometimes you get the right local police officers, and a report of a local abused child or small-time trafficker gets followed up on. But America's child trafficking investigation system is broken. Here's one woman's account of what happened (or more to the point, what didn't happen) when she tried to report a battered child who a woman appeared to be readying to sell:

Is there any solution to this problem? I don't know.
Maybe Pizzagate investigaters could try to compile a list of honest, motivated law enforcement people who these crimes could be reported to?

I spotted an ad on craigslist that clearly had noted pedophilia and child abuse. I called 911, spoke to 3 people. Spent 30 minutes on the phone and they wouldn't even look at the ad, or take a report. It's discouraging.

Did they tell you why they wouldn't look into it?

No they told me to contact them and get the address, without there is nothing they could do.

@Gothamgirl,
I have a friend who reported a pedophile ad from Craigslist. This was from a number of years ago from before Craigslist was forced to clean up their sex ads.
He showed it to me, it was super blatant. It was a female pedophile saying she was visiting the city on business and wanted to have sex with a "tadpole" which is a term in the female pedophile community for an underage boy.
He actually took the ad to his local police station, and the cop who took the report agreed it looked pretty bad, so he gave him the number of the detective at police headquarters who was in charge of the vice department.
The detective took a report on the, but said it was unlikely he would do anything about it. His reasons:
1) Budget cuts. He already had lost 1 staff member because of reduced funding, and he said his officer assigned to pedophile cases already had his hands full with local cases, and trying to coordinate a case of someone coming from out of town would cost even more, and reduce the time the officer had for his current case load.
2) Unlikely prospects for successful prosecution. He said while he didn't like the fact, it is true that it's very hard to prosecute a female pedophile without the cooperation of parents (like cases where parents report a schoolteacher who commits pedophilia.) He said some people don't even believe female pedophiles exist, and if the case goes before a jury, and they don't have a cooperating witness who's an adult, the woman is very likely to get off. His budget was dependent on getting successful prosecutions, and he couldn't spend money on a case where the prospects for success were low.
Anyways, even though my friend couldn't get anything to happen, I think his approach of going to the police department and finding out who was responsible for pedophile cases was a good one.

Great advice. This was a few weeks ago. I think I may try to find it again. I may have screen captured it. It's not in this jurisdiction, but I am going try anyway.
