The FBI is involved directly with any and all investigations when confirming prominent positions like these.
For the record, I think its extremely dangerous to weaponize this stuff for political gain. Especially without very convincing evidence given the time that has gone by. But it doesn't mean it should be dismissed without proper investigation either. The problem with this is any candidate going forward that needs to be confirmed or even win an election can be 'outed' for some last minute bullshit whether it is true or not. If it was just for the matter of getting the truth out i would be all for it, nobody wants assholes like that to be given any power. But what if someone was a victim? Will they now be ignored because of how often this is played out?
