Two in depth investigations on Tara Reade and her claims

Which ones of those do you consider to be "excuses" and which ones "explanations"?

I'd have to look at each of them, and I'm really not that interested. I was mildly surprised to see your cite that she actually HAS accepted responsibility, kinda sorta, at that particular moment in time.

So, Jimmy, no response to this?


If you think that indicates an unfair advantage in favor of Republicans, then what's your idea of a "fair" election? Republicans never win? Only win once every 50-years? Once a century?

Whatever, moron.

A fair election has nothing to do with who wins. The unfair advantage exists whether the party with that advantage wins or not.

Right... So in your world, it would only be fair if the Republicans never won.

Well, if you took the time to read your own link you'd see that, while some of those reasons given would make her look bad (though I doubt she truly "blamed her staff" and would want to dig in to that a bit more), the vast majority of reasons are just that, reasons. E.g., Comey's letter, Anthonty Weiner's laptop, Russian interference etc. It seems like you and rogue06 are totally misstating her views due, no doubt, to preconceived bias against her. Fortunately that bias doesn't infect any of your other views I'm sure ;).

No one deserves to be sexually assaulted.

It has been stated that Tara Reade's story was insufficiently investigated. Here are two new in depth investigations.

First, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politic...es-allegations . Lots in this article and I can't possible summarize the whole thing.

The PBS NewsHour spoke with 74 former Biden staffers, of whom 62 were women, in order to get a broader picture of his behavior toward women over the course of his career, how they see the new allegation, and whether there was evidence of a larger pattern.

None of the people interviewed said that they had experienced sexual harassment, assault or misconduct by Biden. All said they never heard any rumors or allegations of Biden engaging in sexual misconduct, until the recent assault allegation made by Tara Reade. Former staffers said they believed Reade should be heard, and acknowledged that their experiences do not disprove her accusation.

Second, https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...ntances-260771

Tons more in that article as well. Because I'm a naive fool I assume this will at least start to satisfy those whinging about the lack of investigation into Tara's claims.

Oh please! by "investigation," people are talking about by actual authorities, like the FBI, secret service, etc, not by liberal newspapers (or conservative ones)

I'll very patiently await the realization by those "on the right" that this scandal is one heck of a stinker.

I'm perfectly OK waiting for the facts to emerge, and say what they say.

Appreciate your measured response on this. A lot of people "on the left" went psycho over her claims and will have to answer for it :|.

In related news she was just dropped by one of her lawyers (the non-Russian propagandist) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/u...edentials.html

This case it probably too hot for any high-powered legal firm to take it on. Weinstein was a sacrificial lamb (probably with Democrats' sights on Trump). In this case, the whole Democratic party is at stake -- so few legal firms want to go against this pressure.

There are plenty of high powered Republican lawyers. The idea that no one is willing to take this case and torpedo Biden's candidacy is sheer lunacy. And the lawyer who is dropping her previously agreed to represent her!

Seems like she's becoming toxic now her history of fraud and con-artistry is coming out.

I think by the time the election rolls around most people will have forgotten who she is as the issue fades away due to her claims no longer being considered likely.

Forgotten who WHO is?

Indeed. That is why the media focused on Biden early on. This gives the media a chance to accuse the accuser and then bury the topic.

There are literally murderers in prison right now who will get a new trial because of her flawed expert testimony. There are real people who were injured who will have to testify at a new trial because of her flawed expert testimony. None of that is the MSM's doing or then "accusing the accuser."
