So either they missed this incident when checking Kavanaugh, or there's nothing to find Cannoli Send a noteboard - 25/09/2018 04:27:21 PM


But they do background checks on nominees, and can be asked to do so by the White House. That is what happened with Clarence Thomas, and no one then argued workplace sexual harassment was a federal crime.

If he passed their background check, he's in the clear or else they are so incompetent, why would we call on them to settle this?

And again, if it's not a federal crime, why investigate random, unsupported allegations? What would that entail? Going to each party and asking them again what their side of the story is? Search all the houses in Georgetown for 36 year old fingerprints, fibers and DNA?
