"We're talking about attempted rape " You might be, but the client wasn't. The FBI’s limited investigation into the Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations, explained The investigation could uncover new information. But it will depend on how much leeway the FBI gets from the White House. By German Lopez Updated Oct 3, 2018, 4:24pm EDT The FBI could wrap up its investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as early as Wednesday. But we don’t yet know what, if any, information the FBI has uncovered. There’s a reason to not expect much: The FBI’s scope is limited, both in terms of time and depth. That’s in part because the bureau is not looking into the accusations as a criminal matter. The allegations against Kavanaugh, after all, are not federal crimes, but crimes that would normally be left to local and state governments, and crimes that, at this point, the statute of limitation may have expired for. Instead, the FBI is conducting the investigation as part of its broader background check into Kavanaugh. The FBI has carried out these types of background checks in recent years on behalf of the White House, mostly to ensure a federal nominee won’t pose some sort of national security threat. (You don’t want any treason from the country’s highest court or Cabinet members, after all.) Sexual assault and misconduct accusations generally fall outside the standard background check, which instead typically focuses on interviewing a nominee’s associates and gathering official records that can give insight into a nominee’s public history, involvement in different organizations, and potential conflicts of interest. vox.com
