Joe Biden accused of sexual assault

[_Icarus]

Yeah, I never really thought about this before.

“Anyone we thought could have damaging information, we found them,” said the lawyer who vetted Biden in ‘08 for the Obama administration. “We presented everything we found to Obama and his team and they selected him. That does tell you that there was nothing serious.”

Pelosi declared, “Senate Republicans chose to send a clear message to all women: Do not speak out, and if you do — do not expect to be heard, believed or respected.” Now she says Reade shouldn’t be believed because Biden is a man of “great integrity.”

Biden offered this bizarre defensive statement: “I don’t know why after 27 years all of a sudden this gets raised. I don’t understand it.” He additionally won’t allow his papers, from his time in the Senate, to be examined.

“Lynda LaCasse, Reade’s neighbor in the mid 1990s, is the 1st source to corroborate Reade’s account in detail, on the record. LaCasse is a longtime Democrat and says she will still vote for Biden. But says “This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it.””

Note: I didn’t vet the tweet.

Part I underlined. Is this a new development just today? Because that's not what he said on whatever interview he did. As I recall, he said just the opposite of that.

Doc's story is several days old. Biden allowed a limited review of his Senate papers to find any complaints regarding Reade or sexual harassment / assault allegations. While Reade had earlier claimed that she had made such a report, after Biden offered this up, the AP turned up an interview from last year with Reade claiming that there is no complaint regarding harassment or assault because she "chickened out."

Last I paid attention, Reade was denying the accuracy of the interview, which part of an increasing body of instances where journalists report she said one thing only for her to contradict it later when her story has apparently changed.

I listened to a new interview he did yesterday? Don't hold me to that but I think it was yesterday.

This interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seu_C08yAAM

He's asking for a search of the National Archives.

ETA: He does address his senate records. He says the documents in question would be stored in the NA. Not in his senate records as the University of Delaware. He explains this at some length.

I don't understand the freaking out over Biden. Sexual assault is perfectly fine for the President. That's the new standard. “F” anyone complaining about it. That's what America has become.

This is becoming a "rape of the gaps" argument. It's like the story has been designed to avoid being falsifiable at every turn.

Reade just suddenly cancelled a scheduled interview with Chris Wallace on FOX.
