Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[AtorBoltox]

This story doesn't seem to be cutting through despite best efforts of those still seething over Bernie's loss

[AtorBoltox]

It's embarrassing that blue avatars are still trying to push this. Their standard seems to be it's not literally impossible for this story to be true therefore we should believe it

Haha, no.  The real dweebs are those who look at the floorplan of a building they've never been inside and scream "A ha!  I have found a glaring inconsistency in an incredibly vague, non-specific aspect of this woman's story!  It couldn't have possibly happened this way, and anyone else who brings up any other possible contingency or consideration is a partisan hack!"

You can't change Reade's story for her to make it sound better. She is to be judged on what she's said, not 'well maybe she meant this'..

Unless more compelling evidence surfaces that directly corroborates or contradicts Reade's current story or a new, more credible accuser comes forward, then I think this story will remain present in the far-left and right media spheres but will likely gain little traction from credible outlets and networks. At this point, there's just too many unanswerable questions and, unfortunately for Reade if her current allegation is accurate, the country is imploding to such an extent that there isn't much of an audience amongst the general electorate for this kind of scandal.

Has there been any evidence at all?

If this was a criminal case there wouldn't even be enough here to call a grand jury

Is there any evidence that she is lying? This isn't a court of law. Joe Biden is not entitled to the presidency.

Reade has lied about people being able to corroborate her story, yes

I mean, insomuch as you consider the Larry King call, the BI scoop re: the neighbor, and NYT confirming Reade was taken off the interns as evidence.  But, I’ll be the first to point out that’s more than CBF had in terms of corroboration (CBF’s earliest evidence was the therapists’ notes, which don’t name Kavanaugh at all). 

The Larry King call where Reade lied about the contents? The neighbour she called to 'refresh' her memory?

[AtorBoltox]

I wanted Bernie to win the primaries, but the tantrum his online supporters have had since he lost has been absolutely embarrassing.

[AtorBoltox]

It's time for the Biden campaign to go nuclear on Reade

[AtorBoltox]

This story could have been put to bed. This is incredibly unhelpful to Biden and he should try legal avenues to try get the records

[AtorBoltox]

If Reade is lying and is a Sanders supporter, why didn’t she accuse Biden before the Iowa Caucus?

Because it looked like Biden's campaign was collpasing. Her twitter activity in March clearly shows she knew something drastic had to happen to stop Biden's comeback
