Court Documents Support Tara Reade's Allegations against Biden

You really think Biden has done nothing else like this in the past 27 years?\

A one time thing?

The Biden campaign said there were never any complaints about sexual harassment or abuse. EVER. That has been demonstrably proved wrong as court documents show the chief of staff cut a deal with Reade for her to leave her position.

You have a tenuous grasp on the definition of "demonstrably proved". Hearsay is not demonstrable proof.

Court documents are not hearsay

Sexual assault and sexual harassment are two different things. She's claiming one, the ex-husband says the other occurred.

So, the ex-husband's testimony undermines her claim. As does her mother's call to Larry King and her own complaint to the Senate (which apparently the Republicans won't release despite Biden's request that it be released). Which all referenced some vague problem, but not a sexual assault.

She may be telling the truth, but there are a ton of holes in her story.

There are zero holes in her story. Many women don't want to tell men they are currently dating about being sexually abused by someone else. It's a perfectly reasonable response. The fact that in the court document he mentions that whatever happened appeared to have a "very traumatic effect" on her. That actually supports Reade's claim because it demonstrates something serious happened.

She told her mom about the sexual assault but also told her mom NOT to do anything. The mom looked for ways to help, but didn't betray the trust that Reade had in her by sharing the full details. If her mom gave any more details to Larry King, then Biden would have known. Even if she didn't mention Biden by name, there are only 100 senators. If Biden found out, they would have made Reade's life a living hell even more than they currently were.

Reade never changed her story, she's only ever added more details as she's become stronger and more confident. This is something that all victims of sexual abuse go through, it takes them time. Some can report it right away, others it takes years, others never gain the strength to report it.

He said that Reade said told him about Biden, so yes, it is heresay.

This whole thing reeks of BS. It's called destroy your political enemies at all costs. Kinda like what was attempted against Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh.

I love how the amateur detectives are able to "prove" Kavanaugh was guilty but Biden is innocent, or vice versa.

Regardless of what comes of this, the Democrats will just double down next time. If Trump at some point has to appoint another Supreme Court justice, I predict a sexism and/or racism scandal.

Her story is riddled with holes.

None of those "holes" are valid. The author is a die-hard Biden supporter.

Objectively speaking, this allegation is FAR more credible than Blaisey Ford who couldn't remember the YEAR or LOCATION of her alleged incident with Kavanaugh. We should at least go through the same process with this allegation.

Both Roberts and Gorsuch such sailed right on through. Kavanaugh was poorly vetted.

Nope. The divorce filing claims sexual harassment. Reade is claiming sexual assault

That’s a huge difference. It actual proves she wasn’t assaulted but did think she was bothered by Biden. Which she had said previously. Also it’s very unlikely that her husband knows the legal definition of sexual harassment

I can't vouch for Kavanaugh, but it's best not to use Thomas in this case because Anita Hill was not wrong. Anita Hill got played like a chess pawn.

They got their confirmation of Thomas as they wanted, but it's not like Kavanaugh or Biden.

There was actual evidence, but they didn't care.

Oh please her story is riddled with errors and holes. She’s claimed she told people and those people don’t remember it. She claimed she filed a report. Then it was proven she didn’t. She also sought publicity only when Biden started winning.

Conveniently all the people who don't remember were BIDEN STAFFERS who want to see Biden become president at all costs. There are many many people who recall Reade having told them.

It has NOT been proven she hasn't filed a report. The report would be at the University of Delaware. Biden wanted people to think it'd be at the national archives but the archives said themselves they wouldn't have that information. Biden is the one blocking the release of the files at the University of Delaware.

Reade came out with the claim more than a year ago. It just took this long for the media to be honest and cover it.

A year ago she claimed he touched her shoulder and that made her feel uncomfortable.

Now she says he grabbed by the p*sssy.

Big big difference.

That same author published a DISGUSTING article out about George H.W. Bush just days after he died. She said his legacy is tainted by 8 women who accused him of groping, despite there being NO EVIDENCE of their claims. Why the double standard refusing to report on the allegation against Biden???

That same author was also quick to write a snarky article titled about Kavanaugh calls him guilty and counts down the days to when the FBI exposes his lies. Despite there being NO EVIDENCE AGAIN of the claims. Again, why the double standard???

Biden now, while calling for due process for himself, while actively fighting to ELIMINATE due process for college students accused of doing the same thing he did. A clear pander to regain support among women. Just like his newfound interest in helping the US Women's soccer team get a pay raise.

Another attempt by the Alt Right to take down a good man! The racist conservative have no soul!!

Actually I'm a Bernie supporter. The democratic primary is not over yet we should replace Biden with Bernie who is currently in 2nd place.

Her own brother did not remember. Then said “conveniently “ claimed he remembered in a text. A number of her friends said she never said anything.

You are either a Bro or a Trumper

C jessup smells a rat. She doesn't like the fact that the rat is in her own house. Biden should not be allowed to get away with his poor treatment of women, even worse than the Orange haired idiot!
