happened from the accuser, whose story has changed multiple times.
It doesn't prove anything. This neighbor says she knows it is true because Reade told her. Reade who has credibility issues herself.
When a longtime friend of Reade's was contacted, she did not believe Reade's allegations:
"We were able to contact a longtime friend of Reades who wished to remain anonymous, but they said they do not believe her allegations, claiming she has always been one to seek attention. Note: We reached out to Ms. Reade for comment but she refused."

What is perhaps most confusing is that this neighbor said she is voting for Biden regardless, and yet both Reade and this neighbor are going out of their way to destroy the Biden candidacy this late in the process, and know very will that serves to help only one person, and that is trump. If they think this will propel Sanders to the nomination, they are extremely deluded.
and it is important to bring this up also. In 2017, Reade was attacking Russia and Putin on Twitter, yet in 2019, she praised him beyond belief, before trying to back out of her praise in March of 2020, just as she accused Biden of sexual assault.
Yes, Reade's credibility should be questioned, and her recent praise of Putin should raise a red flag, especially based on the Russian involvement in 2016.
Since right wing blogs, along with the far left blogs are pushing this, to me that implies that trump/republicans, and Russian trolls have their fingerprints all over this.
Not surprising since the latest polls indicate trump and the republicans are in trouble.
There is an interesting series on Smithsonian channel called Spy Wars, and the episode entitled "A Perfect Traitor", which covers how Robert Hanssen, who no one suspected, was responsible for the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history, and the cause of the death of hundreds of agents in the Soviet Union.
After the Russian involvement in 2016 in our election, I suspect there is a link in 2020
Not a surprise that Glenn Greenwald's Intercept not only doesn't believe in the Russian interference in 2016, but they have been pushing this story to the hilt
