If the Ford case isn't a Federal crime why would the FBI investigate?

They only investigate backgrounds, which they have done on Kavanaugh 6 times, and Federal crimes. This isn't one.

I guess that death threats to her and her family wouldn't be considered, "obstruction" to you? Because that is what it is.

The SJC investigators are on it.

It could be if he had to cross a state line to attend that party

Anita Hill had the FBI investigate. That's precedent for that.

it's part of a background check for a FEDERAL office.
the FBI hasn't investigated this particular matter.

"They only investigate backgrounds"

Whelp, there ya go. It's a re-opening of a background check on Kavanaugh.

Thanls for answering your own question, cupcake.

Just because a background check didn't turn anything up, doesn't mean there isn't anything to turn up. New information, such as allegations of sexual molestation are ample reason to reopen the check.

When a background issue appears that they had no knowledge of, the FBI should investigate it and add the findings to the original background report. This is not a difficult concept.
