surrounding Tara Reade allegation
"It's a very challenging thing to run for president," the majority leader says.
Mitch McConnell said Thursday that Joe Biden will likely have to "participate in releasing all of the information related to" the allegations of sexual assault from former Biden staffer Tara Reade.
Though the Senate majority leader has not made the same request for the dozen-plus sexual assault allegations leveled at President Donald Trump, McConnell (R-Ky.) said the Reade allegation is fair game. Reade claims Biden assaulted her in 1993; Biden's campaign has denied the allegation but the former vice president has yet to address it himself.
On Fox News, McConnell was asked whether Biden's papers at the University of Delaware should be released to offer more information about the alleged assault. McConnell and Biden worked closely together during Biden's time as vice president on fiscal matters.'>>>

While we're at it, let's open up a full investigation on all the very credible accusations of Trump's violent sexual assaults. Then we can maybe talk about Biden.

Besides, what information does Biden have, and which allegation should he respond to? The one from 1995? Or the mid-2000s? Or last month's?

Here is a timeline of events, regarding Tara Reades actions toward both Joe Biden:
December 1992 August 1993 Tara Reade worked as a Senate aide in Joe Bidens office.

2017 Reade repeatedly attacked Putin and Russia on Twitter for election interference and for Russian legislation that legalized domestic violence.
2017 Reade repeatedly praised Joe Biden through tweets, retweets and likes on Twitter. On multiple occasions she boosts him for his work on helping end sexual assault.

March, 2019 Reade continues to praise Putin.
April, 2019 Reade comes forward with her original allegations against Biden, but says his actions were NOT sexualization, but rather compared his actions toward her as being demeaning and treating her like a pretty lamp that is thrown away when its too bright. She also claimed that her story was not a story about sexual misconduct.

(note: in 2018 she claimed to have loved Russia since over a decade ago, and in 2017 she was posting tweets on her account related to Russias domestic violence.)

(1,648 posts)Release explosive documentation and/or proof right before the election against all Republicans and their payments from Russia to damage the United States. Along with any and all other crooked drug deals, obscene antics, fraud, taxpayer abuse, etc. etc. to bury the Republican Party for the next several decades, along with their underlings and minions in lower government levels.
Anyone have recordings of tRump and Republicans bragging about killing off part of the population with their failed COVID-19 response?
