It is incomplete when it was set up that way by the people who ordered it.

Yawn.
The FBI made the decision from there as to who to interview," Sen. Mike Lee explained.
Next.

They were tasked with investigating credible allegations against Kavanaugh in a supplemental FBI background investigation added to 6 previous complete FBI background investigations that all found nothing. There is nothing more they could have done, but the left will still complain. Nothing will ever satisfy them short of Kavanaugh being withdrawn from nomination. You can't keep them all jumping through hoops forever in this case, it has to end sometime. The democrats would like to keep it going for months longer not in a search for truth, but to delay the process. The truth is everything lead nowhere. Nothing to substantiate or corroborate the credible allegations.
Here’s a list of the people who we know have not been interviewed:
A suitemate of Kavanaugh’s has now told the New Yorker he remembers hearing at the time about the incident Deborah Ramirez has recounted. Ramirez, who has been interviewed, had claimed that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a dorm party at Yale.
The suitemate, Kenneth G. Appold, now says he is “one-hundred-per-cent certain” that he was told the culprit was Kavanaugh. He does say he never discussed this with Ramirez, but he claims an eyewitness described the episode to him at the time. Appold has tried to share this story with the FBI, but there’s no indication the FBI is willing to hear from him.
A classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Georgetown Prep now strongly challenges one of Kavanaugh’s assertions under oath. The person told the New Yorker that he heard Kavanaugh talk repeatedly about Renate Dolphin as someone “that everyone passed around for sex” (the witness’ words), and even heard Kavanaugh singing a rhyme that included the words “you wanna get laid, you can make it with REE-NATE.” Kavanaugh (and many others) described themselves in their yearbook as a “Renate Alumnius,” but Kavanaugh has denied under oath that this was a sexual reference, claiming, ludicrously, that it was intended to show “affection.”
This classmate is not named by the New Yorker. But he put his name on a statement to the FBI and Judiciary Committee that makes this claim, and he is prepared to talk to the FBI. There is no indication this happened.
James Roche, one of Kavanaugh’s roommates at Yale, has written a piece for Slate that claims Kavanaugh lied under oath about his use of slang and his drinking. Roche claims that Kavanaugh “regularly” blacked out. Roche has offered to talk to the FBI, but there’s no indication this happened.
Roche also pointedly added of Kavanaugh: “He said that ‘boofing’ was farting and the ‘Devil’s Triangle’ was a drinking game. ‘Boofing’ and ‘Devil’s Triangle’ are sexual references. I know this because I heard Brett and his friends using these terms on multiple occasions.” Roche concluded that Kavanaugh “has demonstrated a willingness to be untruthful under oath about easily verified information.”
NBC News reports that the FBI has not contacted dozens of people who could potentially corroborate the allegations against Kavanaugh or testify to his behavior at the time. This includes many people who knew either Ford or Ramirez at the time, and people who actually approached the FBI offering information.
The Post reports that Ramirez’s lawyers provided the FBI with a list of more than 20 people who might have relevant information, but “as of Wednesday, Ramirez’s team had no indication that the bureau had interviewed any of them.”
Blasey Ford’s legal team today put out a list of additional people who have not been contacted by the FBI, some of whom were prepared to corroborate that she had in the past discussed being the victim of a sexual assault by a federal judge.
Neither Ford nor Kavanaugh have been interviewed by the FBI. As the Brookings Institution’s Susan Hennessey points out: “It is inconceivable they could close a real investigation without re-interviewing Kavanaugh.”
The Democrats had an entire hearing where they could have asked her anything they wanted instead they all stood up and said I believe you. Maybe they should have been asking some questions during the investigation.
Appold said he recently reached out to the person who allegedly told him about the Ramirez incident, but never heard back. That unnamed person, however, reportedly told the New Yorker he did not remember the incident.

Kavanaugh refused to answer Democrat's key questions during the hearing. He wouldn't be able to refuse to answer those questions if posed by the FBI.
Ford specifically asked the FBI to find out when Mark Judge worked at the grocery store, so she could better say when the gathering in question took place. And, Kavanaugh's own calendar shows that there was a "brewski" gathering on July 1st that included 3 of the 4 people Ford named to be at the party. The FBI should have questioned Kavanaugh about that entry.
