5. Were even basic background checks done on the accusers?

How did the accusers come forward? Did they send Harris, or Heidkamp, or only Gillibrand an email? A phone call? A text message? Then one of the senators, or more, skyped with an accuser, over a secure connection, to hear the accusations?

How did that go down? How trained were the people doing the background checks, if they even happened
