'This never happened. I don't know why she's saying it': Joe Biden finally breaks silence to deny sexual assault allegation by former staffer and asks National Archives to open his personnel files - but WON'T open his personal archive

Joe Biden on Friday denied a sexual assault allegation made against him by a former member of his Senate staff, making his first public statement on an issue that has become a weight on his presidential campaign.
The former vice president released a lengthy public statement and spent 20 minutes of live interview on 'Morning Joe' repeatedly denying Tara Reade's charge that he sexually assaulted her in a Senate hallway in the 1990s.
‘They aren’t true. This never happened,’ Biden said in a statement made shortly before he was scheduled to appear on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe.’
Biden was under heavy pressure from Democrats to address the issue personally after his campaign denied it and prominent members of the Democratic Party were getting questions on it.
No. It is not true. I'm saying unequivocally it never happened and it didn't,' he told MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski during their interview.
He called on the National Archives to release any record they may have of the complaint, which Reade said she made at the time she was a Senate staffer, but he declined to open up his personal archives at the University of Delaware, saying those would not have any information relevant to Reade's allegation.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If Biden's personal archives at the University of Delaware do not contain any information relevant to the sexual assault accusation, then why hide them?

Joe Biden's accuser says she did NOT accuse him of sexual assault in complaint to Senate but of 'making her uncomfortable' - as National Archives says files he wants released are locked up until 2043

Tara Reade, the former staffer who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, said the complaint she filed with the Senate at the time of the incident in the 1990s did not contain the assault allegation.
Reade claims that in 1993, when she worked in Biden's Senate office, he pinned her to a wall in a Senate building, reached under her clothing and penetrated her with his fingers.
She has told multiple news outlets she complained to others in Biden's Senate office at the time, filed a report to a Senate personnel office, and said she was demoted after the incident.
But she told ABC News this week that her complaint to the Senate personnel office was about her 'being made to feel uncomfortable' at work.
She 'did not, at the time, report anything about an alleged assault,' the network reported.
She did not keep a copy of the report and one has not been located.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It now looks like she enjoyed being finger-fucked, but did not like Biden doing it without her consent.

Tara Reade slams Democrat 'hypocrisy' over her sexual assault claims against Joe Biden and reveals she fears for her family after being harassed online and at home as two more people corroborate her 1993 story

The former Joe Biden staffer who claims he sexually assaulted her in 1993 has slammed Democrats for ‘hypocrisy’ as she revealed the intense online abuse she has received since making the accusation.
Tara Reade hit out at the Democratic Party in an interview with Fox News on Saturday night as she said that ‘creepy’ voice messages were being left for her as part of a torrent of abuse following her claim against the presumed Democratic presidential candidate.
'I find it astounding - the hypocrisy that Democrats are talking about women being able to tell their story safely,' Reade told Fox.
'I'm a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, but yet here I am trying to talk about my history with Joe Biden and I'm just the target of online harassment.'
She spoke about the shocking extent of the abuse as two further people were identified who corroborated her story about the sexual assault.
One friend, who knew Reade in 1993, said Reade told them about the alleged assault when it happened, The Associated Press reported Saturday
The second friend met Reade more than a decade after the alleged incident and confirmed that Reade had a conversation with the friend in 2007 or 2008 about experiencing sexual harassment from Biden while working in his Senate office.
Both spoke on condition of anonymity to protect their families' privacy.
There are now at least four people who have corroborated Reade's allegations.

NEW YORK TIMES CALLS ON DNC TO INVESTIGATE CLAIMS AGAINST BIDEN
"Ms. Reade's accusations are grave and graphic … the stakes are too high to let the matter fester. Mr. Biden is seeking the nation's highest office," editorial board writes in the wake of accusations against presumptive Democratic nominee.

The editorial page of The New York Times urged the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday to investigate the sexual harassment and assault allegations made against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, while he was a senator.
For several weeks, Tara Reade, a former staff assistant in Biden Senate office, has claimed that in 1993 Biden sexually assaulted her in the Capitol complex when she worked as his staffer.
Biden adamantly denied the allegations on Friday: "No, it is not true. I'm saying unequivocally it never, never happened and it didn't. It never happened."
Biden told MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski that he had no objection to the National Archives being searched with respect to Reade's allegations, but maintained that he was against opening the personal files he has provided to the University of Delaware, due to the "confidential" nature of the notes on the conversations he had with former President Barack Obama.
In its editorial, the Times' stressed that "as is so often the case in such situations, it is all but impossible to be certain of the truth. But the stakes are too high to let the matter fester – or leave it to be investigated by and adjudicated in the media. Mr. Biden is seeking the nation's highest office."
They concluded by saying that "even if certainty isn't possible in this matter, the American people deserve at least the confidence that he, and the Democratic Party, have made every effort to bring the truth to light."
EDITOR'S NOTE: Up till now, the Democratic standard was: Believe all women! Ah, but the new Democratic standard is: If a woman claims to have been sexually harassed or assaulted by their nominee for president, she is a lying bitch!

You didn't really expect him to admit it did you? If he did it, he will deny it. If he didn't do it, he will deny it. If he can't remember, he will deny it. The MSM and the DNC will do their best to protect him.
