The FBI claims it could not investigate Kavanaugh because of a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with the White House on SCOTUS nominees.
The Guardian reviewed the MOU - and it does *not* limit the FBI *unless* the White House orders them to limit their investigation.

The Guardian piece is below. Trying to get my hands on this MOU to read it myself. If you have it and are willing to share, please DM me.

So it would appear that someone at the White House ordered the FBI to limit its investigation into Brett Kavanaugh.
This still raises questions on whether the FBI did everything it could to follow up on the 4500 tips it received.
But it may be that Trump ordered them not to.

Update here: the Guardian website on mobile does not prompt you to accept viewing Scribd content. The desktop version does. So effectively you only see the MOU itself if you're on desktop.
At any rate, I went and got the actual court filing so I did not have to deal with Scribd
