Help me out here, re: Brett Kavanaugh's finances.

Why is nobody demanding that an FBI investigation be made into his very shady financial picture? The sudden disappearance of his $220,000 of debt, the payment of his $92,000 country club fee, the down-payment on his 1.225mm home when he had only liquid assets of about $65k? His kids are in very expensive private schools and he only makes about $220,000 per year.

I would think that it would be pretty easy to nail him with a little digging. Am I missing something? Is there some reason that his finances are off limits?

He has extremely serious other problems. The stolen emails, leaked. The mess with Justice Kennedy and his banker son. Etc.

It's much more black and white than sexual allegations. If they can come up with something I would think it would be a slam dunk.

He supposedly had $300K in debts at one time and paid this off. How?

Also: IMO, an adult who accumulates debt like that for sports tickets and memorabilia and is suppose to have the common sense to sit on POTUS? Ummmmmm, I don't think so. How the hell was he servicing debts like this. Smells bad.
