And not just in my 'adventurous youth'. They are certainly to be avoided, and should never be believed, but can be entertaining in small doses....

Maybe just stop already Ms Reade.. She cannot repair the self implosion of her credibility, & those who rallied her on will quickly move on to another 'omg' headline to chase.

Here it is. I'm sure you recognize it:

What, you don't have a microdot reader? Well, then you're not cleared for it. It's called "protected" for a reason, you know.

It's become apparent to me that Tara answered an online ad to work for a Russian troll farm, and when they found out she once worked for Biden, they cooked up this story and trotted her out to sell it.

It's not surprising that a scam artist found a scam. What's disappointing is how many people believed the lie.

And worked with a program for minorities. When she was found out, she pretty much fell apart. Sorry, can't think of the name right now, either her real one or the one she was using for her scam.

Reade told CNN that she received a bachelor of arts degree from Antioch University in Seattle under the auspices of a "protected program," personally working with the former president of the school to ensure her identity was protected while she obtained credits for her degree.

She also said that she was a visiting professor at the school, on and off for five years.

Presented with this, Karen Hamilton, an Antioch University spokesperson, told CNN that "Alexandra McCabe attended but did not graduate from Antioch University. She was never a faculty member. She did provide several hours of administrative work."

An Antioch University official told CNN that such a "protected program" does not exist and never has.

From what? And why the hell is she is trying to keep on the low down? The dumb shit is always screaming for attention and getting her face plastered all over so maybe she needs another name change. Her words and actions contradict each other.

Which she used to gain sympathy from people in order to bilk them out of $$$.

I believe her name changes are related to that, she would use it to hide from creditors and people she owed money to.

That's my whole point. If you change your name to be safe do you go on TV to blab where you are and what your current name is?

Tara Reade. Alexandra Tara McCabe, Tara Reade Moultan. Alexandra Reade and that is just a few of her names. Multiple bankruptcies, multiple assaults towards her and she appears to be an habitual victim.

If you change your name to be safe, don't be stupid. She is either being stupid or an outright compulsive liar.
