Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse holds up Kavanaugh's calendar and cries foul:
This may, may be powerful corroborating evidence that the assault happened, that it happened that day, and that it happened in that place, but with no FBI investigation, we can't tell. That's how you get out of Lindsey's batter's box, you investigate.
It's the least thing a sexual assault victim is entitled to when she comes forward.
The FBI could interview all the main simple denials but to cross check and see if the stories add up. The FBI could see if the house matches the locality and description Dr. Ford gave. The FBI could inquire after and pursue other corroborating or excuse for evidence. It's what they do.
Anybody who has done any serious investigation knows you don't stop just with witness statements of interested parties. You run down corroborating and impeaching evidence. You check and cross-check. You ask and go back again. You do the basic blocking and tackling of the investigation.
Partisan interviews by political staff predetermined to clear the nominee just aren't the same as real investigators doing real investigation and corroboration.
