There are a lot of sides to this. Some of them may have seen things and been oblivious, others may have seen things that registered later, while still others may have known about the crimes. That is why we need more than a flight log list.
I grew up in a very affluent family, and attended all sorts of political and corporate events in my youth along with my cousins. None of us were exploited or invited there to be exploited—our families thought it was good for us to meet influential and powerful people because they (foolishly) believed those people represented the best of American society. In some cases they were, in other cases they were later found out to be criminals. The thing that makes these people so dangerous is that they have many different modes, and are masters of switching masks depending on the audience.
If this played out like a procedural crime drama, the DoJ would be interviewing everyone on these flight logs to figure out who is connected to crimes and how much everyone knew at the time. That will never happen, since all of these people have lawyers on retainer and won't answer anything.
I mean, even if they are innocent and were totally unaware of any wrongdoing, they still wouldn't willfully open themselves up to this questioning.
