(3,282 posts)There are two people who claim they knew about the assault story for over 20 years....but neither of them remembered it when asked about it. Both of them needed Reade to "remind" them of it before they could corroborate.
25 years is a long time to recall a conversation, sure. When you don't remember it right off, you are certainly ripe to manipulation when someone else "suggests" what was said. That type of recall wouldn't hold up against scrutiny,
So the people she claims to tell don't actually remember it, and the people she claims knew about it in Bidens office all deny that she ever reported anything to them about it.

(3,282 posts)who has aid she told them about being assaulted, didn't actually remember her telling them that until AFTER they spoke with her and she reminded them. Her brother even told the Washington Post that she told him that Biden touched her neck and shoulder. It wasn't until days later that he suddenly "remembered" her telling him about being raped. Oh, and besides whatever conversations he had with his sister in that time, Nathan Robertson (noted Bernie-phile and editor of the socialist magazine Current Affairs) has bragged on Twitter about how he contacted him and got him to send a text to the Post changing his story.
