Because it pertains to the personal character of a nominee for the United States Supreme Court....So why does the FBI need to investigate a local case that happened 35 years ago, instead of going through local state law enforcement?...
Federal background investigations look into all aspects of a subject's life, for any Federal employee, and especially for security clearances.
That's a very good question; however, we pay them to identify such people and to glean such information. Let them do their job....If there are no witnesses, no friends or teachers which could collaborate and back up her timetable of events, with an uncertainty that Mr. Kavanaugh is accurately named as the one involved in the FIRST place, who is the FBI going to seek out to collaborate with the accuser?...
Again... the FBI does not have jurisdiction for prosecution purposes, but it does have jurisdiction over Federal Background Investigations....Where does it even say the FBI has jurisdiction in this particular case, regarding a local event that happened 35 years ago, over local state authorities?...
Nobody is refusing to utilize state or local resources; it's simply a matter of the FBI conducting a Federal Background Investigation....If you refuse to use state resources, or no incident was reported and found to have been filed by local authorities, what more will the FBI have to go on?...
No need....Again, show me where the FBI has legal jurisdiction over the state on a local sexual assault incident, particularly a groping incident.
The FBI is mandated to conduct Federal Background Investigations for nominees for high office.
Touching upon all aspects ( personal, academic, financial, civic, professional, etc.) of a nominee or candidate's life history.
That is all the legal mandate which is required in order for the FBI to re-engage, re-open the case, and look at this closely..
