Why did the FBI never investigate the Klu Klux Klan crimes against black people?

The FBI did investigate the Klan as part of the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) starting in the 1960s.
They didn't get involved in, say, the Klan's efforts to suppress the black vote in the 19th century, because a US Supreme Court decision (US v. Cruikshank, 1875) specifically barred them from doing so.
They may not have gotten involved in certain specific crimes because the FBI does not investigate every single crime everywhere... they don't have the manpower or the jurisdiction to do so. In general, they investigate only federal crimes, and most of the Klan's crimes were technically not violations of federal law (except for the violations of civil rights laws, which the Cruikshank decision said could not be applied to private citizens).
