A second point: Grassley focuses on these points about the FBI background investigation process, but never notes whether the White House could ask the FBI to do additional investigation. Bloomberg has reported they can. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-17/white-house-is-said-not-to-ask-fbi-to-vet-kavanaugh-allegations …pic.twitter.com/VENZIbmAEI

He also says it's their job to FULLY EVALUATE. They can only fully evaluate when the investigation IS complete. It's the FBI's job. That's what the "I" in FBI stands for. They also have the experts in sexual assault that the committee IS NOT QUALIFIED to do.
