The FBI should investigate Kavanaugh's entire history, tax records, and personal contacts.
Just like anyone applying for a job in Law enforcement.

she does not seem to want to testify under oath would be my guess
The woman who has accused Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, Christine Blasey Ford, has been invited to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday, but the chairman of the committee, Sen. Charles Grassley, says that she has not responded to the three or four emails sent by the staff over "the last 36 hours." The committee spokesman said that the emails had been sent to her lawyer, and there has been no answer.
they need to hold the frigging vote
The only thing to do at this point is to let the full Senate vote, with each senator considering this late-breaking allegation however he or she chooses. Nothing can be gleaned from further investigation—a he-said/she-said from the mists of time isn’t prone to resolution—and Judge Kavanaugh has passed half a dozen FBI background checks anyway. It’s certainly fishy that something like this comes out at the eleventh hour, more than three months after Kavanaugh was nominated—more than 15 years since he was nominated to the D.C. Circuit—and after a full slate of hearings (open and closed-door) and senatorial meetings. Even if the claim is true, how do we weigh it against the exemplary life the nominee has led as an adult? These are all things for senators to consider when they vote. Of course, all this takes place amid a broken public discourse and poisoned politics, with attempts to impugn Judge Kavanaugh for liking baseball too much or (the horror!) having been in a fraternity in college—not to mention the rolling filibuster and orchestrated protests that punctuated the confirmation hearings, which were really the first Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign. Any Republican nominee is now subject to character assassination because of the apocalyptic narrative Democrats bring to Supreme Court fights and for being picked by Donald Trump, whose election the left has never accepted and whose authority to make picks has been further questioned after the indictments and criminal pleas of several associates. Indeed, Justice Neil Gorsuch continues to be seen as illegitimate by many progressives because he “stole” Merrick Garland’s seat (though, of course, Garland was never attacked personally). The only way to end this circus is to vote on Kavanaugh and let the political chips fall where they may.

They already did, if you had been paying attention you would know that.
