Martin should have been subject to an extensive background check!

Had he appeared "out of the blue" so to speak to help the campaign he undoubtedly would have been checked out, but since he was friends with Fred for over 15 years and with Fred having no inkling about his past, Fred obviously thought such a check wasn't necessary. I wouldn't have run a background check on a long time friend either.

He’s loaning tha man a jet as a friend and supporter, and in return Fred gave him a title. Why would he need a background check as a successful businessmen.

I suppose you would do background checks on everyone who contributed and or raised money and helped in anyway with a campaign. In the first place would be cost, and the second everyone would have to sign a consent to be checked, probably cost more money than raised. Good old saying “put brain in gear before inserting foot”.
