"A woman who during the 2020 presidential campaign accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her announced on Tuesday that she was defecting to Russia.
Tara Reade made the announcement during a press conference on Russian state television in which she appeared with convicted spy Maria Butina.
Reade, who served as a Biden aide from 1992 to 1993, alleged that then-Senator Biden assaulted her in 1993 at a Capitol Hill office building.
Questions about Reades credibility surfaced in the months after she made her allegations against Biden public."
Biden has denied the allegations.
CNNs Edward-Isaac Dovere reports that Butina is using her influence as a Duma member to lobby Vladimir Putin to fast-track Reades citizenship."

Actually, the same effect would be achieved by the defection of just the billionaires behind the media, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, etc.

(23,804 posts)given it a few months and she'll be regretting that move. know what kgb agents hate? loose ends and assets that no longer have any value. she had value when she could be paid to try and help drumpf by attacking biden. now she is just a worthless sack of shit that knows thing about putin's lies that she shouldn't. probably really difficult for putin to put a hit on her in the USA, so he welcomes the idiot into his slaughterhouse and she walks right in...........
