Ford had people say she had told them as well.

Can you name even ONE person that said Blasey Ford told them ANYTHING about sexual assault by Kavanaugh?
Just one person.

This sounds like a perfectly normal way to diplomatically describe what happened without flat-out finger pointing.

I swear that some of these posters don't even live in the Real World.

"How come she didn't write down every detail of an interaction with only two witnesses, one of whom was a powerful US Senator? Hunh? Hunh?".

As you and I seem to know, that isn't what happens in real life, because the person of lesser power in that exchange would get squashed like a bug, messily.

Another “super educated” lawyer write this?

They have "people" for that, but should do a little proofreading. I have often gotten a kick out of reaading the errors in their communications.

You are being pedantic in this case. She has been telling a consistent story for 25 years.

I am willing to say that a young woman would not be announcing to the world that a US Senator was finger banging her in the walkway behind the office. Remember, this was before Clinton.

Or are you just trying to be difficult? Which is OK, I guess.

Sexual assault is not part of sexual harassment?

Correct. Sexual harassment. That’s been her story since when?

Not 1993. Reade herself admitted she did not claim sexual-harassment in her original complaint.

“I remember talking about him wanting me to serve drinks because he liked my legs and thought I was pretty and it made me uncomfortable,” Reade said in an interview Friday with The Associated Press. “I know that I was too scared to write about the sexual assault.”

Reade said she described her issues with Biden but “the main word I used — and I know I didn’t use sexual harassment — I used ‘uncomfortable.’ And I remember ‘retaliation.’”

So. The timeline goes over the years from uncomfortable to harassment to assault.

The document is her ex-husband’s words, not hers.

Which makes it all the more powerful and legitimizes her.

True, but sexual assault is sexual harassment.

i’m telling all my friends that support bernie sanders, that the democrats refuse to dump Biden so long as they think he can win.

So, if they want Bernie to have a chance, they need to get together and make a large public recognition that they REFUSE TO VOTE FOR BIDEN.

I point out that we are still in the primary, and if Biden is forced out, Sanders will win enough delegates to be the nominee.

"So the story has changed from Biden sexually assaulted her to sexual harassment problems in Biden’s office. She’s not helping her case."

That doesn't exclude Biden. Not at all. Biden is part of "Biden's office."

This sure could a be a fellow democrat wanting to protect Biden by not naming him specifically in a (at least) tangentially related case involving himself and Reade.

At a minimum, if it was in fact someone else in his office, we need to know if he fired that person and referred them to the local jurisdiction for investigation....or did he abet the alleged crime by "settling" with Reade so the "problem" would go away?

This just upped the pressure on Biden to fully explain / release all records related.

Couple this with her mother's call in the Larry King:

KING: San Luis Obispo, California, hello.

CALLER: Yes, hello. I’m 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.

KING: In other words, she had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it?

CALLER: That’s true.

This document release is not good news for Biden.

Struck a deal with the chief of staff of the Senator’s office”.

Well, maybe the chief of staff is still alive and might remember “the deal”.

I’m with you on that. I have a few acquaintances who are Bernie Bros. I remind them that the DNC has cheated Bernie numerous times, and that Biden is a pervert capitalist stooge.

Onward the revolution!
(The Trump revolution, that is.)

You are being pedantic in this case.

Scott Adams calls it "word-thinking", where you attempt to put your own meaning on words to get the outcome you want.

It's pointless mental gymnastics.

Sexual Harassment is not sexual assault.

Sexual assault is contained in the set "sexual harassment".

Your "word-thinking" doesn't change that fact.

San Luis Obispo Tribune
__________

Is this a liberal newspaper or does it lean conservative?
