1996 court document confirms Tara Reade told of harassment in Biden’s office
San Luis Obispo ^ | 5/7/2020 | MATT FOUNTAIN

Posted on 05/08/2020 9:25:25 AM PDT by cann

A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993.

The declaration — exclusively obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California — does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention Reade’s more recent allegations of sexual assault.

Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration. Dronen at the time was contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce, Superior Court records show.

In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

It appears to be the only written record that has surfaced from the time that substantiates Reade shared her account in the years following the alleged incident, though a former neighbor came forward last week about similar conversations she said she had with Reade in 1995.

Biden fell into a trap...

He denied it the assault thinking there was no evidence.

Biden is a place holder. My gosh, you’d have to have dementia not to recognize he has dementia.

I would not be surprised to find Hillary has something to do with Ms. Reade’s sudden need to set the record straight.

My great fear is that this turkey will be replaced. He’s far and away the most beatable guy they can possibly run. Praying he stays on the ticket, but, yes, it wouldn’t surprise me if Hillary is pulling strings on this and Arkanciding the Biden candidacy with hopes of replacing him.

I agree with you. I don't think the Dims plan on having Biden's name on the ticket in November.

When this scandal blows up - and it will (with Dim consent and assistance) - it will open up some very interesting possibilities for them. Right now it's all about the timing. Hold off long enough for Biden to cinch the nomination, then pull the old switcheroo.

BTW, my money is on Big Mike.

If the Democrats get the massive mail-in voting they are shooting for, Biden is not at all beatable. With mail-in voting they could run a German shepherd and win. They will steal the election if this happens.

They are already lining up their corrupt judges to make rulings in favor of it.

Until we refuse to follow the illegal edicts of corrupt judges we will never be successful against the left.

“BTW, my money is on Big Mike.”

Hilldog has the resources and contacts to put slow Joe back on the shelf, but it is the Dems. They could let Hill do the dirty work, then push Big Mike. Who knows? They have no standards, so anything is possible.

Mining old court documents is right out of out the Obongo play book. I think Obongo even used an opponents divorce trial transcripts to defeated them in one of his elections.
This shot didn’t come from our side bank it.

No, it didn’t. Too early, and too dirty.

Yep, Obama used a guy named Ryan’s divorce against him, apparently the guy wanted to be a swinger, and his wife would have none of it. His wife at the time? Jeri Ryan, 7 of 9 from Star Trek Voyager. She made the show almost worth watching.

Part of me hopes they don’t replace Biden just because I would pay good money to see him in live debates with President Trump. Probably wouldn’t take 5 minutes before Biden threatens to punch the president for something he says, and the rest of the time we’d get to see Biden rambling on incoherently.

I really don’t know who they could replace him with anyway. All their candidates this year in the primaries were terrible (all 300 of them or however many there were). We know the DNC will self-immolate before they let Bernie or Warren have a shot. What’s left? Nancy Pelosi? Hillary Clinton? What a joke.

What’s left?

Big Mike, and his husband Barry, as VP.

You can't get much "lefter" than them.
