1. The 15 agents were probably the entire staff of the Alabama field office of the FBI.
2. They were all assigned to work on this case because they have nothing else to do. There probably hasn't been a Federal crime committed in Alabama since (Democrat) George Wallace kicked the bucket.

It also put a dagger in the “hidden racists in NASCAR” narrative. Made Bubba and NASCAR look ridiculous and completely trashed their attempt at virtue signaling. With 15 FBI agents, it is impossible to allege that there wasn’t a serious effort to find and prosecute an alleged “perpetrator”.
#MAGA.!!!
Ha, yeah....they were 15 of these guys sitting...begging for just one juicy investigation, and this noose thing came up. They all jumped into their black SUVs, and stayed at the Best Western over at Talledega. After interviewing two dozen people, and eating dinner....they probably wised-up and realized that you can’t make a 17-page report out of this.
FBI-dude Marvin then sat at the pool the next morning...writing a 2-page summary, and did his best to delay their drive back to the office until the next day. All of them were given honorary NASCAR hats as they left town.
I worked for the DOJ in Alabama and a few times WITH the FBI... trust me, they have more to do than go after this lunacy.
