Don't know if what I have to say is accurate we may need a law enforcement fag. I heard the hearings with the nasty liar and Judge K yesterday in the company of a cousin in local law enforcement. Cuz keep yelling at the TV, "FBI has no jurisdiction you stupid b.." He laid it out that no allegations were in any way Federal so F_I can't investigate unless local law enforcement called them in on an active case. No active local case = no way F_I can be involved.
I realize the derps think they can do anything. But Cuz says an F_I investigation is a violation of the Construction, Kavanaugh's civil rights and Federal Law.
Your cousin is right- mostly. The reason the FBI got involved in the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill affair was Hill alleged that some of it happened on Federal property. And technically, yes, the FBI has to be invited into a local investigation. However, this “investigation” is actually more like a background check. How they differ I don’t know. But, again you’re right. With no reported crime to investigate, who knows how they’ll turn the magic phrases to have the jurisdiction to investigate.
The guys on the committee seem to think it’s just a matter of the FBI asking a bunch of questions and then telling the committee who lied. That’s not how it works. The feebs ask a bunch of questions, record the answers and give that to the committee. As they are so fond of saying, the FBI doesn’t reach conclusions. They just gather info.
