How would she have known the FBI was performing a background check? Even then, if he wasn't charged at the time the FBI wouldn't have had anything to find, it's a background check for items on the record. |

I bet there is a LOT more to the story than any speculation here on SB.com

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

The accuser would not have known. But Senator Diane Feinstein knows, and she had the letter since July.
Kavanaigh has gone through six different background checks in his years of service.
"it's a background check for items on the record"
And you know this how, exactly? They don't make any additional inquiries? And IF that's true, that's more reason for Feinstein to have gotten this on the record before they started the check. |

There's only so much research they can do...what are they supposed to interview every person he's ever had contact with? |

I agree they can't spend 100 years looking., But it sounds like you completely made it up, when you said they can only investigate what's already on the record.
I doubt anyone, on either side, would consider it frivolous to investigate a sexual assault complaint. Not yet anyway, but in short order, your side will make sexual assault accusations as utterly meaningless as they have already made racism accusations. |

That's weird, when I go through my background check for work, they talk to neighbors, friends, former employers, and people I currently work with. and I'm just a nobody. Are you saying that they don't dig as deep for a possible SC Justice? |

Was speaking about an obscure event from decades ago. If there's nothing on the record what do they have to research? It's not likely a family member is going to be like, oh and that time he assaulted someone.
You're check was for clearance I'm assuming, I don't think SCOTUS have that.
