USA Today: Why I'm skeptical about Reade's sexual assault claim against Biden: Ex-prosecutor

[Me.]

This is a good read and refutation of TR’s claim…I’ve copied just some of it

“If we must blindly accept every allegation of sexual assault, the #MeToo movement is just a hit squad. And it's too important to be no more than that.

“►Memory lapse. Reade has said that she cannot remember the date, time or exact location of the alleged assault, except that it occurred in a “semiprivate” area in corridors connecting Senate buildings. After I left the Justice Department, I was appointed by the federal court in Los Angeles to represent indigent defendants. The first thing that comes to mind from my defense attorney perspective is that Reade’s amnesia about specifics makes it impossible for Biden to go through records and prove he could not have committed the assault, because he was somewhere else at the time.

Missing formal complaint. Reade told The Times she filed a written complaint against Biden with the Senate personnel office. But The Times could not find any complaint. When The Times asked Reade for a copy of the complaint, she said she did not have it. Yet she maintained and provided a copy of her 1993 Senate employment records.”

►Love of Russia and Putin. During 2017 when Reade was praising Biden, she was condemning Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s efforts to hijack American democracy in the 2016 election. This changed in November 2018, when Reade trashed the United States as a country of “hypocrisy and imperialism” and “not a democracy at all but a corporate autocracy.

►Suspect timing. For 27 years, Reade did not publicly accuse Biden of sexually assaulting her. But then Biden's string of March primary victories threw Sanders off his seemingly unstoppable path to the Democratic nomination. On March 25, as Sanders was pondering his political future, Reade finally went public with her claim. The confluence of Reade’s support of Sanders, distaste for the traditional American democracy epitomized by Biden, and the timing of her allegation should give pause to even the most strident Biden critics.”

The article goes on and on, including lies by her family and lots of inconsistencies.

4. Wow.. this is a good one I hadn't thought of..

►Memory lapse. Reade has said that she cannot remember the date, time or exact location of the alleged assault, except that it occurred in a “semiprivate” area in corridors connecting Senate buildings.

Thank you, Me

5. One I Find Interesting

Is how the details of her sexual assault mirror one that her father described in his novel. I think the prosecutor makes a good case for her being an unstable and challenged person. She's all over the place and in one instance, the friend who backed up her story said she had had a memory lapse and Reade helped her remember the story of the assault.

Aloha Cha...The good news is that while Biden is not going to breeze into office and will face challenges, he looks good for winning the presidency....

8. Yes, Reade's father writing about a similar

scene in his book is an eerie element of Reade's continuing ever changing pack of praise for Biden Vs Accusations at Biden.. When it was obvious he won the nomination to be our Democratic Candidate.

Thank you for posting, Me.

6. He's a prosecutor skilled at shooting holes in people's stories

Didn't people not believe the Fox newswoman Gretchen Carlson either, until she had proof on a tape recorder.

The thing that has me wondering is that her father wrote a book with the same scene in it.

[Me.]

7. And Why Did She File A Police Report

and not name Biden? I honestly don't know how she got away with that.

10. Where did you read that part?

13. I'm Trying To Remeber

If I can find it, I'll post

14. Biden did not rape Tara Reade...and Carlson's story was about harrassment.

I can't believe you would even go there. He story is bullshit and she is not credible at all.

9. So nobody could find it.. not even Reade.. but the proven Liar said she did it.

Missing formal complaint. Reade told The Times she filed a written complaint against Biden with the Senate personnel office. But The Times could not find any complaint. When The Times asked Reade for a copy of the complaint, she said she did not have it. Yet she maintained and provided a copy of her 1993 Senate employment records.”

Reade’s Story is Not Consistent

In an article Reade wrote in 2009, she claimed to have left Washington DC for the midwest because her husband Tate, at the time, had received a job offer for a Congressman. She claims to have also received a job offer to work for a Governor’s race in California around the same time period.

However, in the article “Bring on the Light,” which Reade wrote in December of 2018, and has since deleted, she stated that she left politics and Washington DC because she was sick of American imperialism and because she “love[d] Russia with all her heart.”

RED FLAG TIMING!

►Suspect timing. For 27 years, Reade did not publicly accuse Biden of sexually assaulting her. But then Biden's string of March primary victories threw Sanders off his seemingly unstoppable path to the Democratic nomination. On March 25, as Sanders was pondering his political future, Reade finally went public with her claim.
