The regular background investigation had been done, and Anita Hill allegations of which she was reluctant to come forward was leaked to NPR's Nina Totenberg who contacted Joe Biden the Judiciary committee chairman,with Hill's permission, and he and the ranking member contacted George H.W Bush's and he ordered WH house council, to tell the FBI to reopen the background investigation to include Hill's new allegations. |
And Thomas was confirmed, and we all lived happily ever after
Get used to that outcome. You can just lay back now, and enjoy it....

As I said, Trump can reopen the FBI background investigation any time he wants.
He sure as hell does not!
The FBI did investigate Anita Hill's accusation, and it took 3 days
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/19/polit...ine/index.html
September 23, 1991: Biden says in a statement reported in the Times that this is the date on which Hill agreed to allow the FBI to investigate the allegations.
Then-White House deputy press secretary Judy Smith said in a statement published by Newsday on October 6, 1991, that Hill's allegations of harassment were "brought to the attention of the Judiciary Committee" on September 23 -- a time frame that differs from Hill's account -- and the committee "immediately" informed the White House. The White House then "promptly directed the FBI to conduct a full, thorough and expeditious investigation," according to the statement.
September 26, 1991: Three days later, the FBI completed its investigation, and a report was submitted to the White House and the Judiciary Committee, according to Smith's statement. "The White House reviewed the report and determined that the allegation was unfounded," the statement said.

The FBI had jurisdiction to investigate the Anita Hill case because the parties involved were federal employees and the issues included possible violation of federal rules and regulations.
Drunken teens frolicking at a private party in a private home generally do not violated federal rules and regulations.

Wrong read what posted. The FBI reopened the investigation because George H W bsh asked them to. The FBI does background investigations on anyone whether federal or not being considered for a major office.

I think Clocker is correct at this juncture, the only way the FBI can run with it is at the request of the President.

Duh!, that is exactly what I said, and used G.W.H Bush as my example during the Clarence Thomas Hearings.

An obvious example, although it is also obvious they had no access to everything.
Trump was not a federal employee when the FBI did a background investigation on him.

If I may paraphrase a former jackass in charge , if you want to reopen investigations then go out and win an election.

"Not a political bone in her body"? Now the defense of this travesty is just getting stupid. Why did she scrub her lefty social media identities of any countervailing evidence? How can you spend your entire adult life in academia and "not have a political bone in her body"? In psychology, no less.
Any one who supports this nonsense is absolutely deplorable, in the true sense of the word, not the Hillary interpretation of it.

Christine's lawyer " Having my client testify under oath would be contrary to the purposes of discovering truth."
Dem logic.
