No perjury charges against Tara Reade
Monterey County Weekly reports, Prosecutors decline to file perjury charges against Biden accuser who lied about her credentials as an expert witness:The Monterey County District Attorney's Office will not file perjury charges against Tara Reade, the woman who in 2019 accused now President-Elect Joe Biden of sexual assault while a member of his Senate staff in the 1990s—an accusation he has repeatedly denied—despite finding she repeatedly lied about her credentials while under oath and testifying as an expert witness in domestic violence cases in Monterey County Superior Court.
A press release issued Thursday, Nov. 19, by District Attorney Jeannine Pacioni states that her office will not file perjury charges "because of the difficulty in proving the materiality of her false testimony.
"Materiality requires proving beyond a reasonable doubt in a new trial that Ms. Reade's false testimony in other trials probably would have influenced the outcomes in those trials," the statement reads. "This inquiry depends on the facts and strength of the old cases, which would require again presenting these cases in a new perjury trial."

According to an assistant general counsel at the California State Bar, Reade took and failed the bar exam twice before she testified to the contrary in those three cases. And according to Antioch University, Reade never graduated from the school and was never conferred a degree by that institution.

What this case proves is Ms Tara Reade is a liar.
And Joe Biden is not.
