For the record, I don't believe the Emhoff slapping story from these anonymous sources. But I didn't make up the Kavanaugh standard of evidence and if the media applied it equally this story would be the lead on CNN for a week. It's now obvious that standard only applies to Republicans.

FBI probe of Kavanaugh constrained by Trump White House, report finds
The report found that messages to the FBI tip line regarding Kavanaugh were forwarded directly to the White House and never probed, and that the FBI had no written protocols for the supplemental background investigation ordered by the White House. It notes that the FBI was instructed by the White House to talk to 10 potential witnesses and was not given the leeway to pursue corroborating evidence — the absence of which was cited by senators as they narrowly voted to confirm Kavanaugh.
The FBI received more than 4,500 calls and electronic messages related to Kavanaugh and was directed to forward the tips to the White House without pursuing any possible leads, according to the report. Even when senators contacted the FBI directly with the names of people who claimed to have relevant information about Kavanaugh, the FBI did not contact them.
