Reade's accusation is pretty thin at this point.
This is an interesting article from this morning's CNN website:
What we know about the complaint Tara Reade says she filed against Joe Biden in 1993
Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who has accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her when she worked for him in 1993, says she filed a complaint with a Capitol Hill personnel office at the time -- not about the alleged sexual assault, but about uncomfortable interactions she says she...www.cnn.com
It details the procedures that were in place in 1993 for the filing of complaints, and which office would have received the complaint that Reade said that she filed. There are specific procedures for such complaints. The supervisors whom she says she complained to have said that they never received any complaints about Biden from her or anyone else. The office's records are stored in the National Archives, which contends that the Senate controls them, and republicans have the majority in the Senate. The Senate Secretary contends that not even the existence of such a complaint may be disclosed, much less be released. Yet it was seem that finding her complaint would be the Holy Grail to republicans and they would run it up Constitution Avenue with sirens blaring.
Reade herself can't remember anything but that she filled out a form on a clipboard. Her friend has not said that she accompanied Reade to file the complaint, just that she told her that she did.
What's here? If there was a complaint, there's a paper trail if nothing else.
They must have fantastic memories
Do you imply that their memories are all faulty? Do you know any of them? This is pretty weak.
after 27 years?
Yes, I would 'imply' that their memories are faulty.
I would 'imply' that ANYONES memory is faulty after that length of time.
