Ms. Krassenstein tweet: Several well-known journalists working on stories to expose Reade as fraud

Tweeted minutes ago:






Stop saying the mainstream media is ignoring Tara Reade. They aren’t ignoring her. They are thoroughly investigating her allegations against Joe Biden. I know for a fact several well-known journalists are going to write bombshell stories exposing this fraud. It just takes time.

If my sanity. I have been working with women's rights orgs for decades and am sick of the cynical bastards, trolls and liars weaponizing our morality and sense of justice against us, while giving the morally malignant monster in the Whitehouse a pass.Last I heard there was a sexual deviant, rapist, in the Whitehouse and one in the Supreme Court.

We are Libtards and Feminazis and worse, and political correctness is the scourge of the land until they use it against us.Then they cloak themselves in righteousness.
and Me Too.

BTW if Me Too were all it is cracked up to be why are they not camped out on the lawn of the whitehoise?

of the beginning of the RepubliCon's "Swift Boating" of Biden................And their impending "OCTOBER SURPRISE"......

It will get increasingly vile as we get near the election..........."That's how they roll", it's "The RepubliCON Way".....
and we haven't even gotten to his "e-mails" yet like they did with Hillary.

Comey will go down in history, for his phony Email Bullshit that cost Hillary the election.

Biden should run Hillary as his VP and then resign after inauguration. LOL....No I'm serious, I am ROTFLMAO fantasizing about that happening. I can just imagine all the RepubliCON's heads exploding across the nation..............

even if there were one shred of truth to Reade's allegations ( I do not think so)

WOMEN DIE FROM LACK OF ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE CARE

Even if Reade's allegation were completely true - I would STILL support Joe Biden against Trump - and tell her if she was any kind of decent person she would SHUT THE FUCK UP. She's had 27 years to deal with how she is going to respond to what (allegedly) happened to her. Bad shit happens to all of us; really bad shit happens to some of us. We don't get to solve our own problems or get our retribution, by hurting other people. She waited 27 years. Wait ONE MORE YEAR - help Biden win and hope he picks a decent VP - then, if this is true, nail him to the wall. Best case he gets booted and his Dem VP takes over.

But, that is clearly not what she wants. She is willing for other women to lose access to reproductive care, just so she can RIGHT NOW !!!!1!!! resolve a 27 year old (alleged) injury.

Sorry, I don't fucking buy it, and it is hard for me to not think of her as scum.

This is a classic case of we should believe the woman....until her claims are proven false to a reliable person with all available evidence. She stated she told 3 staffers at the time and all 3 have consistently denied that. She also claimed she made a formal Senate complaint, yet she says she did not keep her copy of that complaint. And Biden asked the national archives to search for it today which shows he is confident there was never any such thing.

The evidence has been examined and her accusation shown to be very likely false.

Once the records are open, they would have endless leads to trace ---- what he said, contradictory things he said, positions he took, places he visited, often in foreign cities where more Reade-type allegations can be manufactured from sand. This is the WITCH HUNT!

It is refreshing to see that the Democrats are not going down that path.

.... in the WH. And a repeat sexual assault offender on the supreme court.

The timing on this combined with the failure to dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine is not coincidental. Trump needs a weapon to attack Biden for the 2020 election. Trump cannot win on his record and he cannot attack Biden on the substance of his political life.

Trump knows that it makes no difference if the story is true or not. Just put doubt in the minds of some undecided voters. It has worked before for the GOP. Remember the birther lies about Obama. Trump and the GOP's goto Motus Operandi is to CHEAT, CHEAT, CHEAT to win if the polls aren't with you.... CHEAT!

I have done volunteer and paid work with women and children who have experienced assault, rape, sexual harrassment, and domestic violence. I am familiar with the inconsistencies that can occur in retelling the event due to stress, trauma, and blocking out parts of the experience. I heard Tara Reade tell and discuss her claim at length in in online video. It did not sound credible to me.

She contradicted herself a few times regarding who she spoke to about the alledged incident and when. A few periods of vagueness in telling the story sounded like they were contrived to make it sound realistic. The questioning was somewhat leading in parts. She did acting before getting involved in politics.

That's not to say that an actor cannot have a genuine experience of harrassment, assault, or rape. But given the timing, lack of records for reports she said she made, and past acting experience, I just don't believe her.

I don't believe for a minute the MSM will do anything but parrot and slam home Repub talking points. MSM are owned and operated by Repub toadies. When it comes to anything about Dems they presume guilt until some new slander leaks out they can jump on even harder. Then with Repubs it's all "nothing to see here."

I really wonder how she supports herself. She says she's a writer, but I can find nothing other than a couple of articles on Medium. Nothing on Amazon, not even self-published. She says she was an actress when she was young and ALMOST made it big, but does she have any credits on IMDB? Nada.

She says she got a JD degree and even puts the letters after her name, but is she a practicing attorney? It doesn't seem so. She isn't a law professor either, although sometimes she puts Dr before her name. Sorry, but until she testifies under oath like Dr. Ford, I'm skeptical.

Though it is worth noting that the twenty-six lodged against the cheap thug are straight up truth, and the one lying smear directed against Mr. Biden is just that....
