Do we? An alternative scenario would be... Biden chooses Obama as VP. A few months into office Biden resigns for health reasons.


Did some background on this out of curiosity. Appears that the bottom line is the issue will end up in the courts, so with current makeup of the USSC in mind and how corrupted it's become, it seems like if a Repub attempted to do it the Court will decide favorably, if it's a Democrat it will get turned down.

Read the thread. It is a Fact.
I have read the thread. It's not a fact. Also, there's nothing in the video that states what her "problems" were.

It is not unreasonable for me to question the assumptions you are requiring here.

She respected him. He came on to her in an overly aggressive manner. She wasn't expecting or wanting that. She made a complaint, but still respected him. She got Fired shortly afterwards and her potential Career came to an end. She never stopped respecting him as a Politician, despite being damaged by the whole situation.

Now you’re just making things up in order to ignore the inconsistencies.

Dude...smalltown Californian Mom calls Larry King about her daughters problem with a US Senator whom she worked as a Staffer for. Tara's Mom lived in that town at the time the call was made. Do the Math.

How do you know she got fired? She said she left and wasn't sure Biden even knew why she left.

I am offering a reasonable hypothetical. She wasn't violently raped. She was put into an unexpected and unwanted situation.
Here’s another reasonable hypothetical - she and her mom weren’t that upset because she was never assaulted.

Dude... San Luis Obispo, CA is not a small town. And we still don't know what her problems were or why she would still respect someone who allegedly did something so horrible to her.

The math says you are making too many assumptions.

Why the phone call then? Boredom?
Have you considered that she could have had other problems with Biden? For example, the first version of her story.

Seems like her making this charge up is a reasonable hypothesis, agree?

Ok, not a small town, small City approx 283k in 2019 . Still not very large when talking about a small group of Staffers of US Senators that come from across a Nation of 300millionish. What do you think are the chances of another Mother with a Daughter having an issue with a US Senator as a former Staffer of said Senator? It would be close to 0.

That said, 4 other people have confirmed that she had told them about it around that time. The idea that she just recently fabricated this is ridiculous.

You have never clarified the difference between the 2 stories. In her first unedited telling, she even alludes to details unspoken.

Would you say that the degree of concern displayed on the video better supports Tara telling her mom about sexual harassment or rape?

It's not that this piece of evidence dismisses Tara's claim. It's just that it is weak evidence for corroborating a rape claim due to tone and content and the previously released story of sexual harassment not rape.

Her two year "career" of being assistant supervising interns?

It was 1993. The caller gave their location. Doesn't mean it was the truth. There was no need & not necessarily any way to verify it with the caller on the line. It didn't really matter.

Why would she "respect" Biden enough to not go to the media, if he "raped" her? Then 27 years later she posts love letters to Putin, and 4 months later, badabing badabang, she decides she doesn't "respect" Biden anymore and goes to the media.
