Outlaw Pete wrote: » Nope, if I was doing that I would be commenting on the allegation itself, saying I believed her and that Biden should not run for president as a result of it. That's weaponizing an allegation, as much of the left did when Kavanaugh was accused. What I am doing is merely calling out the hypocrisy of those that would have been all over this had Tara accused a republican. Far as I am concerned it's a matter for the courts but it's for sure also a mask slipping moment for the #metoo/ibelieveher crowd, there can no be denying that.

I understand since the footage was discovered by a media entity doing some real journalism, and it went public that one segment has now been deleted from Google Play. Odd, wouldn't you say? Hmmm... If you can't avoid it destroy the evidence, perhaps?

“Yes, hello. I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington?” she asks. “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.”

What sort of government hearings would you like to see? Its my opinion that both parties in sexual assualt / rape cases should remain anonymous until a verdict is reached. This stuff is a distraction from the real issues that people should be focused on in a presidential election. All American media entities are hypocritical and biased.

As I and many others have already said , allegations of this kind are just crazy - Anyone can say anything and gain traction with the media that are on the opposite side to the accused. They should be dealt with legally - either by the police if reported soon enough or via civil action if it's from too long ago.. If someone is found guilty , then by all means , tear them apart.. But this sort of stuff is just rubbish. In the case of Kavanaugh , as I've already said my issues with him at the time were his contortions , lies and acts of perjury in trying to create a defence for himself. Maybe he shouldn't have been in that position in the 1st place ,but a prospective Supreme Court justice shouldn't lie and commit perjury to defend himself.

But someone wanted it gone so it can't be viewed and apparently put pressure on Google Play to make it so nobody can see it. Hmmm... why didn't Snopes ask Google Play who put the screws to them? We know it certainly wasn't Trump.

Since Google Play’s “Larry King Live” catalog is missing several episodes, it’s possible that no episode for this date was ever listed on (and therefore never removed from) Google’s streaming service.

notobtuse wrote: » But it's okay for a man who might be president of the US to lie in order to defend himself by directing his campaign to state: "Here’s the bottom line...” “Vice President Joe Biden has spent over 40 years in public life: 36 years in the Senate; 7 Senate campaigns, 2 previous presidential runs, two vice presidential campaigns, and 8 years in the White House. There has never been a complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him — ever.”? There seems to be enough information out their to indicate that was a lie, especially since the complaint apparently might be in his sealed Senate records.

It’s likely that when officials involved in the massive conspiracy to bring down Trump’s presidency realize that it’s “Checkmate,” others will begin cooperating with Durham.

I’m 100% sure if it was a GOP member you’d be screaming government over reach at the idea. Brett Kavanagh, spelling intentional, was in the process of being confirmed by a senate committee. If he withdrew from the nomination process, there would have been no senate hearings.
