“If Trump is actually guilty, how ineffective is the FBI that they still can’t prove it.”

You show a basic lack of understanding of the US legal system.

I am not saying Trump is or is NOT guilty of a particular charge, just about to explain how the system works. My bonafides include decades as a member of the Bar in 4 states, as well as admitted to the Federal Bar in districts in NY, MA, CT. I have also taught as an adjunct professor at several US law schools over the years.

The FBI (FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION) is an arm of the Justice Department charged to investigate crime. They report their results back to the Attorney General or applicable US Attorney (depending on the alleged crime and/or location)
The FBI is not charged with proving guilt.

Should the results of the FBI’s investigation cause the Federal Prosecutor to seek an indictment before a Federal Grand Jury, and such indictment is granted……

Then the FEDERAL PROSECUTOR is the person(s) who must prove guilt in a court of law during trial.

FBI gathered evidence, as well as testimony of FBI personnel may be entered in evidence during a trial, BUT the FBI NEVER has to prove anyone or any organization guilty of anyhing.
