There is NO background check to run for Congress! (There is no background investigation for any elective office!)
All you do is pay your registration fee, campaign and if you win that's your security vetting.

One of the things they tell you in a background investigation is, ‘anything illegal that is uncovered will be turned over to LE for prosecution’. You think any of our darling politicians would put themselves at that kind of risk?

How did Hillary Clinton come up with the FBI files on people in Congress? She had possession of them at the White House while living there.
