I realize you are being purposefully obtuse.The larger point though is the FBI is not charged with investigating alleged crimes that do not involve federal laws. The “ Renate Thing” has been public knowledge for the same period of time and yet never showed up in any of the previous 6 FBI background checks done for Kavanaugh.What is the FBI supposed to investigate?
An alleged sexual assault.
Have you not heard? It’s been kind of in the news a lot lately.
I take his point, though. If Red means, how can one find evidence of an encounter that happened 36 years ago and where no one sought medical treatment or otherwise made any report? Especially when details seem conflicting. TbH, that's why I find the Renate thing more telling, it's on paper and we know the exact source. Not that Ms Ford should not seek justice, but it's hard for me to see how it gets beyond the word of a possible drunk and the word of someone who claimed to have one beer. Truth finding requires more than people just asserting their alcohol levels 36.years ago and not able to remember key details like location.
