It was a cover up on the part of the FBI (predecessor). They realized the corruption and murders ran much deeper but wanted to scream success, so they swept the rest under the rug to be forgotten (that’s the whole point of the last part of the book). That is literally a cover up.

Was also a cover up by all state and local parties until the feds were basically forced to get involved. At which point they prosecuted a couple of high profile people for maybe 5% of the crimes those people were known to have committed and put up the "Mission Accomplished" banners.

Yeah, the whole Reign of Terror is filled with greedy, disgusting, murdering, racist, and corrupt individuals. I definitely could add even more descriptors for the vile people involved, but it would go on and on.
