The growing number of Republican (RINO) Senators calling for background checks on President Donald Trump’s appointments are doing so for one of two (or both) reasons. Some are trying to protect themselves and their interests, such as wanting to oppose Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s, appointment to protect their Big Pharma donors. Others are simply displaying the narcissism that is inherent in being a United States Senator.
But here’s the thing. There is nothing in the law that requires a background check of any sort on appointees. The “tradition” in the Senate for conformation is just that, a tradition. Those who claim that they want background checks for the sake of national security are hoping Americans don’t realize that anyone who will receive classified documents must go through a non-FBI background check AFTER THEY ARE HIRED. It is conducted by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Administration.
These Democrat and RINO Senators aren’t concerned about national security. They’re concerned about their own interests and their own power.
More Senate Republicans other than the gang of 4, McConnell, Collins, Murkowski, and Thune are now openly speaking out against confirmation of Trump nominees without a lengthy process and FBI background checks.
Maybe it's the RINO's who need investigated. Traitors!

Under no circumstances should President Trump let any of his top appointees be dragged through the mud in the form of a scandal-seeking background check by the FBI.
