Joe Biden accused of sexual assault

[_EAllusion]

Aside from the Reade allegation, a separate allegation that Biden harassed a 14 year old at a 2008 event. It's Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell's niece. She had 6 on the record people to corroborate that she told them of this harassment around the time of the event. Biden was proved to have not been there. So she adjusted the story to it having occurred one year prior at the same event. Biden was proved to have never been there either as he was in Iowa at the time. That's where things stand atm, yet this story got a ton of flash coverage.

The NYT has already covered Biden sexual assault allegations with greater intensity than Trump's relatively recent rape allegation that exists on top of - oh - a couple dozen women with independent corroboration accusing him of sexual predatory behavior, including the type which he is recorded on tape confessing to. Last I looked, their front page was plastered with stories on this.

2020 is gonna suck some more.

I'm going to put the odds that there is an allegation against Biden in the waning days of the election that will got extensive coverage in sources like CNN, NYT, NPR, etc. that will leave little time to disprove if such a thing were even possible at somewhere between highly likely and as statistically certain as the existence of other minds.

As for the odds that Biden-allegations get more coverage in the 2020 election cycle than, say, global warming, put me down for "lol."

Like the eleventh hour re-opening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton.

There are a lot of holes in Reade's story as far as I am concerned. She waited a long time to come forward and added the assault part to her original story. However, Biden is creepy already and may have alzheimer's. Why Biden acted the way he did when he was asked about the Delaware records makes it look like he has something to hide. Perhaps he doesn't want retaliation evidence to come forward and the evidence is in the Delaware records? Reade claims her duties were drastically changed once she complained and there is evidence of her sudden departure from supervising responsibilities. Maybe the assault was added as an exaggeration to get at the retaliation evidence? Does anyone know if she is being advised and by whom?

Anyway, the democrats should look to drafting someone else at the convention. Biden's mental faculties are a question, there is the creepy angle fueled by the latest Reade allegations and now the 14 year old, not to mention the YouTube videos. Also, Hunter Biden may become an issue again. Why not draft someone without the baggage?

Which Democrat do you believe lacks "baggage" Dr. Exiled? If it were Bernie, who you seem to like, there's an alternative universe right now where cable media is wall-to-wall coverage of Jane Sanders alleged corruption and Bernie's efforts to cover it up.

The allegation from the (then) 14 year old is quite obviously a lie, yet you consider that a reason for Biden to be too damaged to go forward. But lies are cheap and there's not a person under the sun the Democrats could nominate who cannot also receive the same treatment on whatever topic people think will "stick." Once the hooks are in, they're in.

I don't know why you think that. He said that the National Archives were where the complaint report would have been filed.

Doesn't the investigation need to begin with the documentation of the report?

Exiled. All they need to do is conduct a typical search of the National Archives, first pulling her personnel file. That's where they are stored just like my own are. Then they conduct a search of the Senate files. Granted, I don't know what the procedure is for that however, pulling her personnel file is something that's done every day of the week, takes a good 6 weeks to pull them (unless in this case they put a priority status on it) and that's where any record of a complaint would logically be located.

If you ask me, regarding the University of Delaware library archives--you're putting the horse before the cart there.

...you're putting the horse before the cart there.

Um, isn't that where horses usually go?

Perhaps, but there could be relevant evidence in those records and Biden looked like he knew something was there that he didn't want disclosed. He said that there were documents that could be taken out of context but then that could be easily remedied by reviewing the Delaware documents and only allowing what is relevant to the Reade case to see the light of day.
