Trump: FBI Won't Investigate Kavanaugh Allegation Because It's 'Not Their Thing'

[stuffmatters]

10. Isn't the FBI is supposed to do a thorough investication of SCOTUS nominees' background too?

Aren't they the agency that is already charged with this responsibility? They obviously missed something very important in checking out Kavanaugh for Circuit Court that is now coming up in his SCOTUS hearing.

I think the public presumption is that any SCOTUS nominee has been thoroughly investigated and cleared by the FBI. That
a witness comes forward during the hearing with new info should not mean that the FBI does not have the responsibility already to
investigate those charges. Or their investigation then becomes not thorough, not reliable.

This Senate Hearing is not a criminal or court proceeding...tho it can lead to one (i.e. charges of perjury ag Kavanaugh) Right now
this is a job interview with the expectation that the FBI supplies the most comprehensive background history possible to
facilitate the "advise and consent" Senate vote for this job seeker to obtain his seat on SCOTUS.

I don't really see why the FBI needs to be reassigned to their Kavanaugh investigation by the Republicans or the DOJ or the President. It seems like they already have an investigation file open on Kavanaugh, they just need to update it.
