If this was a serious accusation, it would have been handled MUCH better than it was.

The reason witnesses are contacted BEFORE the story comes out, is so that it won't appear as if their memories were tainted with the story being told.

a REAL journalist would have waited to release the story, when all the ducks were in a row, and contacted the "witnesses" BEFORE story is printed, asking:

Did you know Tara?

In your words, what did she tell you about her days working with Joe Biden?

Now, the story looks like it was FED to them.

Now, all they have to do is read the media, watch her video, and then call and say exactly what she said in her interview, back to media outlets, and this will make people believe this.

I am trying to figure out, how 2 or 3 years later, she was so upset and distraught by this attack, that she was crying on her doorsteps...

yet... 2 years ago, she was on Twitter complimenting the man she now claims attacked her, complimenting him for PROTECTING WOMEN.

If you are gong to make an accusation against ONE of the most powerful men in the world, you don't fuck it up, by taking it to partisan crap media.

You don't play little games on Twitter.. Tic Toc..

and, you don't come out with it, until you have a GOOD lawyer.

Why did her police report NOT name the attacker?

Why did it also not describe the attack?

She said, was TRYING to get the media's attention, but all that would have taken was for her to file a proper police report with NAMES, in the first place.

If she would have filed a police report last year, describing the attack, and naming names, the media would have been LINING UP to tell her story, and lawyers would have been knocking down her door.

If I recall, Dr. Fords name was NOT made public until she took a polygraph, and had a solid lawyer backing her up, who had done all the hard work BEFORE it was released to the public.

Also, Dr. Ford didn't want it public to begin with, which is what made her claim so credible.

I'm sorry, so called new "witnesses" are NOT going to change my mind... as far as we know, she got messages to those people telling them to read her story or watch her interview, or those people were contacted by her, and she asked them to back her up.

It all looks shady.

Also, WHY was the timing as such, that it was AFTER Bernie dropped out, and after everybody started getting behind Joe?

KNOWING this is one of the MOST important elections for the WORLD, why would this be timed so shitty?

Did she do this to help Bernie?

She waited for everybody to drop out, thinking that if she can get Joe to drop out, then Bernie would just slide in as the nominee?

That is NOT how it would work... Joe would CHOOSE where his delegates would go, and that would most likely be Kamala Harris.

The suspect thing about NOT naming anybody on the police report is that she signed it, and that would be illegal to sign it, if it was a false allegation.

WHY has she not done anything where she would have to take an oath to tell the truth?

I am sorry, this is amateur hour, with a half assed story, that was pieced together AFTER it coming out, and that is after numerous different versions have been told.

Politics in the USA is so fucked up, cuz this shit is allowed.

When the Roy Moore allegations came out, I even asked on Twitter, what politics did Roy's accusers lean towards?

Because it was during an election, and even tho I HATE the GOP, I still don't like politically weaponizing accusations of this nature.

Tara had plenty of time to go to the media BEFORE Joe even got into the race, since Joe got into the race a while after Bernie.

Tara could have acted like an adult, and taken proper steps for this to come out.

as it is now... NO.. nothing is going to make me believe this.

Men who attack in this fashion, are DOGS... they are the players, the guys that hit on women, and who are KNOWN to cheat on their wives.

Washington DC is notorious for NOT being able to keep secrets, and Joe was NEVER known to hit on women, or sexually harass them.

Even the women who came forward, ALL said that his invading of their personal space was NOT viewed as sexual, just supportive, well meaning, but still unwanted.

I really can't imagine that in his WHOLE career, working around women all the time, that there was ONLY ONE woman that he hit on or harassed, that he would risk his career and marriage for.

Also, in every thread talking about Joe, you will see the photo of Joe and Stephanie Carter, she wrote a Medium piece regarding this, but I don't think that was enough, she needs to come out for REAL in the public, and debunk this narrative.

The Joe Biden in my picture is a close friend helping someone get through a big day, for which I will always be grateful. So, as the sole owner of my story, it is high time that I reclaim it — from strangers, Twitter, the pundits and the late-night hosts.
medium.com/@scarterdc/the…

But, again.... and I hate to say this, but I think that Stephanie Carter, needs to come out more public about how she and Joe are close friends, cuz as it is, her photo is still being used against Joe.

This whole Tara situation is screwed up, and as a survivor myself, I'm horrified by this story on so many levels, ONE being if by the 1 in a million chance it's true, she really screwed up her handling of this story.

I'm sorry, but she treated it like a political hit job.

This is NOT how you treat a serious sexual assault allegation against a powerful man... you just DON'T.

This is NOT rocket science, and any victim KNOWS that she will face serious scrutiny, especially accusing a man at this level... she's a LAWYER in her 50's, NOT her 20's.

I'm sorry, if it is true, she screwed herself by handling it so poorly, she is the one who put her own credibility into question with her actions.

But, again, I doubt it's true, cuz.. men like that don't just do that to ONE woman.

Also, Joe's was investigated heavily to be Obama's Vice President, there is NO WAY that Obama's team would miss something like this.

I also question this:

She was able to live with Joe being the VP for 8 years and NEVER said a word, and was rather supportive of the Obama Biden administration.

Why come out with this story now, at a time when if Trump wins, the USA and the world will LITERALLY be so screwed?

She was just fine with Joe as the VP

tweeted support of Joe, even 2 years ago

but, NOW, suddenly, Joe is the nominee, we're watching DAILY as people are dying because of Trump... and she felt THIS was the optimal timing for her story to come out?

Americans are DYING!!!

In the 1 in a MILLION that this is possibly true:

At what point do you weigh the destruction of your country, and the world... vs.. a story of an alleged 30 second situation from 27 years ago, and think to yourself..

my story.. that I was able accept for 27 yrs, 8 yrs with Joe as VP... is far too important than the people dying right now, and who will die because of Trump?

27 yrs ago, she had too much respect for Joe to say anything, stayed silent..

she set it aside for 27 years...

but, NOW, when the world is on the line, she is unable to stay silent for ONE minute longer?

Make NO mistake, the future of our country is absolutely ON THE LINE.

If Trump wins, the world is screwed and, it will take a LOT longer to put things back together again.

for 3.5 years, Trump has been systematically destroying everything in our country, including the national stockpile...

we can NOT afford another 4 years of this destruction.

again, I don't THINK this is true, but if it was..

how do you square:

allowing a malignant narcissist, to continue destroying our country and vulnerable people, for your own personal story, that you were able to live with just fine for 27 yrs, including 8 yrs with Joe as VP?

Regardless of how I feel about Tara, this poor girl is being used, and the people using her DON'T CARE, they have ONE JOB, getting Joe Biden to drop out, and if they can get that to happen, they think that Bernie will slide right on to be the nominee.

Let's say the DNC does just hand it to Bernie.... then Bernie's candidacy will be tainted in a HUGE way, as if Bernie orchestrated this, so he could win the nomination.

See where I'm going with this?

The people doing this are CHILDREN, and they have convinced a mentally ill woman that she can help SAVE Bernie, and in turn, save the USA... except, that is exactly opposite of what would happen.

Hillary/ Joe Biden supporters would be PISSED, and NO way vote for Bernie.

These LEFT Wing journalists, are often times worse than FOX News, cuz, they work for publications that ONCE upon a time were thought of as reputable, but... that can NOT be said of Rolling Stone any longer, when they employ Glenn Greenwald, Matt Tabbi, and Katie Halper.

So, Katie convinces Tara to come forward, seeing how thirsty she is, trying to get attention on social media..

salon.com/2020/03/31/a-w…

From the article:

Reade spent months tweeting that story, dozens of times, at various figures — politicians, celebrities, media outlets, even Donald Trump — to no response.

So, Reade FINALLY gets the attention she's been craving with Katie Halper, and then, Katie in turn gets an interview with Tara... BOTH have been Bernie supporters, BOTH seemingly want to take down Joe Biden, because Bernie lost the nomination...

and THIS is how Katie treats it?

This whole accusation roll out has been amateur hour, and a shit show, from the second it started.

Halper put Reade in a no-win situation, subjecting her to the vitriol of public opinion and ultimately making her account more difficult to verify.

jezebel.com/tara-reades-al…

but because of the way Halper, who also co-hosts Rolling Stone’s Useful Idiots podcast, aired the allegations—with little context, few follow-up questions, and no additional reporting.

Interviewing witnesses and fact-checking dates, locations, and other relevant details while reporting a sexual assault allegation is crucial in the effort to shield victims...

Because of how BADLY this has been handled, there will NEVER be a way to verify if it is true, or even vet Tara's story... which might have even been the point.

NOW, all Tara can be used for... is NOT helping Bernie, cuz this won't him... is to help Trump win.
