These people with "that was 30 years ago" as if that makes it okay piss me off, we get it you don't care.
The point of the FBI investigation is the same as any accusation that could come down to he said she said. It is to scrutinize the story of the accused and see if their story matches other facts. Especially in this case, she needs some kind of protection from random alibies, attacks on her and lies. They may not be able to "prove" he did what she said, but they can prove his story doesn't match Judge's, other people who were there, or at least can disprove the bull**** doppelganger defense etc. An investigation into surrounding facts goes a ways toward getting this guy to either tell the truth, lie under oath directly or by omission in either a provable way or a fairly easy to spot way if he did it and actually remembers he did it.
Good lord. I mean would there ever be any point in investigating or cross-examining a witness in cases lacking physical evidence if a denial was the end of the story? Make him explain himself, answer questions, and see if his explanations are consistent with or contradict the known facts (that will be uncovered in an investigation) or not.
This goes to his credibility to be on the SCOTUS, the burden is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
