In 2009, #TaraReade published 2 contradictory accounts of traveling to DC to begin working in the Senate: #1> "I was beyond excited, I packed up my Nissan and cats, told my boyfriend goodbye and headed alone on the cross country drive to Washington D.C." medium.com/@AlexandraTara…
#2> “'As the plane descended into Washington, D.C., my Siamese cat, Cleo, meowed loudly from under my seat.' She recalled the city lights reflecting in the airplane’s windows as 'my new job as a Senate staffer lay ahead of me'" (#Reade in "The WIP," qtd by @nytimes).
.@nytimes describes #TaraReade's account of the plane descending in DC as "sharply, dramatically precise," apparently not knowing that Tara Reade herself (that same year) had described packing her (plural) cats into her Nissan & arriving in DC after a solo cross-country drive.

#TaraReade lied about her credentials as an "expert" witness for nearly a decade. Her false testimony throws into doubt verdicts reached in cases where she testified, incl'g at least 2 life sentences. The Asst DA is alerting defense counsel in every case. nytimes.com/2020/05/21/us/…
Multiple defense attorneys now seek to challenge convictions based on #Reade's false testimony. “Had I had the information that I have now, this case, in my mind, would have gone differently,” said Monique S Hill, then a public defender.
Lawyers Soltesz & Erdbach objected to #TaraReade's testimony at the time, "saying they were skeptical that her work experience qualified her as an expert." They were overruled. Soltesz is exploring whether he can reopen a case that sent 2 women to prison for life.

As the editor whose newspaper in 1992 exposed U.S. Sen. Brock Adams, D-WA, as a sex predator, a few points that might be useful in considering the #Biden-#Reade situation:
1) A politician “unequivocally denying” such a charge means nothing. Adams did, too. 2) A politician being a longtime champion of women’s rights means little. Adams was, too.
3) The fact that dozens of women who worked for a politician say they never had any problems with him means nothing. Many Adams aides said likewise. 4) In the ‘90s, some women who were otherwise ardent feminists acted as enablers of abusive political bosses.

Ce week-end, les 2 grands journaux US- NyTimes et WaPost- consacrent 2 très longues investigations à l'accusation d'agression sexuelle en 1993 portée par Tara Reade contre #JoeBiden. À lire. washingtonpost.com/politics/sexua…
2) Les 2 journaux n'ont pas trouvé de témoignage direct ou de fait matériel corroborant l'accusation de T.#Reade contre #Biden niée avec force par le présidentiable. Mais T.Reade a selon le Times déposé 1 main courante à la police la semaine passée. nytimes.com/2020/04/12/us/…
3) On retient aussi des 2 enquêtes que T.#Reade est 1 des 8 femmes ayant accusé l'an dernier #Biden de gestes physiques en public (mains dans les cheveux, enlaçage etc.) sans leur accord, qu'il avait reconnus. Et les électrices/électeurs l'ont choisi contre #Trump sachant ce fait
