\n\n“After the alleged assault, Reade said she complained about Biden’s harassment to Marianne Baker, Biden\u2019s executive assistant, as well as to top aides Dennis Toner and Ted Kaufman. All three Biden staffers recently told The New York Times that she made no complaint to them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they did not offer the standard, noncommittal \u201cI don\u2019t remember any such complaint.\u201d The denials were firm. \u201cShe did not come to me. If she had, I would have remembered her,\u201d Kaufman said. Toner made a similar statement. And from Baker: \u201cI never once witnessed, or heard of, or received, any reports of inappropriate conduct (by Biden), period.” Baker said such a complaint, had Reade made it, “would have left a searing impression on me as a woman professional, and as a manager.\u201d”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Reade told The Times she filed a written complaint against Biden with the Senate personnel office. But The Times could not find any complaint. When The Times asked Reade for a copy of the complaint, she said she did not have it<\/a>. Yet she maintained and provided a copy of her 1993 Senate employment records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is odd that Reade kept a copy of her employment records but did not keep a copy of a complaint documenting criminal conduct by a man whose improprieties changed \u201cthe trajectory<\/a>\u201d of her life. It\u2019s equally odd The Times was unable to find a copy of the alleged Senate complaint.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Readetold The Union that Biden wanted her to serve drinks at an event. After she refused, “she felt pushed out and left Biden’s employ,” <\/a>the newspaper said last April. But Reade claimed this month in her Times interview that after she filed a sexual harassment complaint with the Senate personnel office, she faced retaliation and was fired<\/a> by Biden\u2019s chief of staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving a job after refusing to serve drinks at a Biden fundraiser is vastly different than being fired as retaliation for filing a sexual harassment complaint with the Senate. The disparity raises questions about Reade\u2019s credibility and account of events.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the 1990s, Biden worked to pass the Violence Against Women Act<\/a>. In 2017, on multiple occasions, Reade retweeted or \u201cliked\u201d praise for Biden<\/a> and his work combating sexual assault. In the same year, Reade tweeted other compliments of Biden, including: \u201cMy old boss speaks truth.<\/a> Listen.\u201d It is bizarre that Reade would publicly laud Biden for combating the very thing she would later accuse him of doing to her.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“By this January, Reade was all in<\/a> for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Her unwavering support was accompanied by an unbridled attack on Biden. In an article on Medium, Reade referred to Biden as \u201cthe blue version of Trump.\u201d Reade also pushed a Sanders\/Elizabeth Warren ticket, while complaining that the Democratic National Committee was trying to \u201cshove\u201d Biden \u201cdown Democrat voters throats.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite her effusive 2017 praise for Biden\u2019s efforts on behalf of women, after pledging her support to Sanders, Reade turned on Biden and contradicted all she said before. She claimed that her decision to publicly accuse Biden of inappropriately touching her was due to \u201cthe hypocrisy that Biden is supposed to be the champion of women\u2019s rights.\u201d” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“During 2017 when Reade was praising Biden, she was condemning Russian leader Vladimir Putin\u2019s efforts to hijack American democracy in the 2016 election. This changed in November 2018, when Reade trashed the United States as a country of \u201chypocrisy and imperialism<\/a>\u201d and \u201cnot a democracy at all but a corporate autocracy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reade\u2019s distaste for America closely tracked her new infatuation with Russia and Putin. She referred to Putin as a \u201cgenius\u201d with an athletic prowess that \u201cis intoxicating to American women.\u201d Then there\u2019s this gem: \u201cPresident Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2019, Reade essentially dismissed the idea of Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election as hype<\/a>. She said she loved Russia and her Russian relatives \u2014 and “like most women across the world, I like President Putin \u2026 a lot, his shirt on or shirt off.\u201d”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Pivoting again this month, Reade said that she \u201cdid not support Putin, and that her comments were pulled out of context<\/a> from a novel she was writing,\u201d according to The Times. The quotations above, however, are from political opinion pieces she published, and she did not offer any other “context” to The Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reade’s writings shed light on her political alliance with Sanders, who has a long history of ties to Russia<\/a> and whose stump speech is focused largely on his position that American inequality is due to a corporate autocracy. But at a very minimum, Reade’s wild shifts in political ideology and her sexual infatuation with a brutal dictator of a foreign adversary raise questions about her emotional stability.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For 27 years, Reade did not publicly accuse Biden of sexually assaulting her. But then Biden’s string of March primary victories threw Sanders off his seemingly unstoppable path to the Democratic nomination. On March 25<\/a>, as Sanders was pondering his political future, Reade finally went public with her claim. The confluence of Reade\u2019s support of Sanders, distaste for the traditional American democracy epitomized by Biden, and the timing of her allegation should give pause to even the most strident Biden critics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Last week, new “evidence” surfaced: a recorded call <\/a>by an anonymous woman to CNN’s “Larry King Live” show in 1993. Reade says the caller was her mother, who’s now deceased. Assuming Reade is correct, her mother said: “I\u2019m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a prosecutor, this would not make me happy. Given that the call was anonymous, Reade\u2019s mother should have felt comfortable relaying the worst version of events. When trying to obtain someone\u2019s assistance, people typically do not downplay the seriousness of an incident. They exaggerate it. That Reade\u2019s mother said nothing about her daughter being sexually assaulted would lead many reasonable people to conclude that sexual assault was not the problem that prompted the call to King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reade\u2019s mother also said her daughter did not go to the press with her problem \u201cout of respect\u201d for the senator. I\u2019ve never met a woman who stayed silent out of \u201crespect\u201d for the man who sexually assaulted her. And it is inconceivable that a mother would learn of her daughter\u2019s sexual assault and suggest that respect for the assailant is what stands between a life of painful silence and justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “out of respect” explanation sounds more like an office squabble with staff that resulted in leaving the job. Indeed, in last year’s interview with The Washington Post, Reade laid the blame on Biden\u2019s staff for \u201cbullying<\/a>\u201d her. She also said, \u201cI want to emphasize: It\u2019s not him. It\u2019s the people around him.\u201d” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Reade\u2019s brother, Collin Moulton, told The Post recently that he remembers Reade telling him Biden inappropriately touched her neck and shoulders. He said nothing about a sexual assault until a few days later, when he texted The Post that he remembered Reade saying Biden put his hand “under her clothes<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That Reade\u2019s brother neglected to remember the most important part of her allegation initially could lead people to believe he recounted his Post interview to Reade, was told he left out the most important part, and texted it to The Post to avoid a discussion about why he failed to mention it in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In interviews with The Times<\/a>, one friend of Reade\u2019s said Reade told her she was sexually assaulted by Biden. Another friend said Reade told her that Biden touched her inappropriately. Both friends insisted that The Times maintain their anonymity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On Monday, Business Insider published an interview with a friend of Reade\u2019s who said that in 1995 or 1996, Reade told her she was assaulted by Biden. Insider called this friend, Lynda LaCasse, the \u201cfirst person to independently corroborate, in detail and on the record, that Reade had told others about her assault allegations contemporaneously<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Reade alleged she was assaulted in 1993. Telling a friend two or three years later is not contemporaneous. Legal references to a contemporaneous recounting typically refer to hours or days \u2014 the point being that facts are still fresh in a person’s mind and the statement is more likely to be accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Insider also quoted a colleague of Reade\u2019s in the mid-1990s, Lorraine Sanchez, who said Reade told her she had been sexually harassed<\/a> by a former boss. Reade did not mention Biden by name and did not provide details of the alleged harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In prior interviews, Reade gave what appeared be an exhaustive list of people she told of the alleged assault<\/a>. Neither of the women who talked to Business Insider were on that list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with statements from friends is that the information they recount is only as good as the information given to them. Let\u2019s say Reade left her job because she was angry about being asked to serve drinks or because she was fired for a legitimate reason. If she tried to save face by telling friends that she left because she was sexually assaulted, that\u2019s all her friends would know and all they could repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior statements made by a sexual assault victim can carry some weight, but only if the accuser is credible. In Reade\u2019s case, the statements coming from her friends are only of value if people believe Reade can be relied on to tell the truth, regardless of the light in which it paints her.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Last year, several women claimed that Biden made them uncomfortable<\/a> with things like a shoulder touch or a hug. (I wrote a column critical of one such allegation<\/a> by Lucy Flores.) The Times<\/a> and Post<\/a> found no allegation of sexual assault against Biden except Reade’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is possible that in his 77 years, Biden committed one sexual assault and it was against Reade. But in my experience, men who commit a sexual assault are accused more than once”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are no third-party eyewitnesses or videos to support Tara Reade\u2019s allegation that she was assaulted by Joe Biden. No one but Reade and Biden know whether an assault occurred. This is typical of sexual assault allegations. Jurors, in this case the voting public, have to consider the facts and circumstances to assess whether Reade\u2019s allegation is credible. To do that, they have to determine whether Reade herself is believable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve dreaded writing this piece because I do not want it to be used as a guidebook to dismantling legitimate allegations of sexual assault. But not every claim of sexual assault is legitimate. During almost three decades as a prosecutor, I can remember dismissing two cases because I felt the defendant had not committed the charged crime. One of those cases was a rape charge.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I know that \u201cBelieve Women<\/a>\u201d is the mantra of the new decade. It is a response to a century of ignoring and excusing men\u2019s sexual assaults against women. But men and women alike should not be forced to blindly accept every allegation of sexual assault for fear of being labeled a misogynist or enabler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can support the #MeToo movement<\/a> and not support allegations of sexual assault that do not ring true. If these two positions cannot coexist, the movement is no more than a hit squad. That\u2019s not how I see the #MeToo movement. It\u2019s too important, for too many victims of sexual assault and their allies, to be no more than that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
