I'd like to see the FBI investigation expanded to include the behavior of Ford's attorneys and Feinstein. I'm guessing that's what Trump laid out in his marching orders to the FBI. This is all about the upcoming elections.

He ordered a supplemental investigation to be limited in time and scope. That is all.
Trump cannot be perceived as defining the scope so the FBI will do it. Do you think they care what Trump wants? No, they and their brethren at DOJ have established themselves as an unaccountable independent fourth branch of government. And make no mistake about, these bureaucrats don’t like or respect Trump.
He’s been way too easy on them in my opinion. They only respect those they fear, and they don’t fear him at all.
According to Trump it's only a Kavenaugh supplemental background investigation.
In such an investigation, they ask other people about the subject of the investigation. They don't investigate the other people.

Who is going to get the results from the FBI's background investigation? The Senate Judiciary Committee. In the 302s will be everything the FBI uncovered during this process. It would be up to the Committee to evaluate the information. From that information, not only can the Committee inform all Senators of what they find with regards to character of the candidate for the Supreme Court, they can also refer charges against other people to the DOJ for prosecution -- which will cause the launch yet another FBI investigation, interpreted by a DOJ prosecutor, into the issues contained in those charges. Perhaps the formation of a grand jury.
This process survives the mid-terms; nothing the Democrats can do to stop it. For proof, the Dems only need look at the investigation of Russian interference in the elections. THAT one survived a change in Presidents.
The game has only begun...
