13385352, the actual allegation is the most problematic/questionable part imo.

and is actually worse for her than anything else.

mainstream media outlets prolly arent gonna put forth much effort digging into the actual details of everything she claimed happened. but if you take everything else out and just examined the veracity/likelihood of the when/why/where/who in her allegation...she prolly has even less of a leg to stand on.

when people say tara reade has more evidence than blasey ford...just because reade has more people willing to corroborate that she told them some form of *her* version of the story...thats not entirely true.

blasey ford didnt have evidence of the specific encounter. but all of her ancillary facts checked out. places of employment for multiple people, relative point in time, nature of relationships, location of house and the owner, other events/behavior of relevant people, etc. to the point where people could credibly narrow things down to a specific day on kavanaughs own calendar. a date that repubs own prosecutor started focusing in on (and repubs promptly pulled her from the hearing when it happened). the strength of the credibility of blasey fords additional detailing also had the effect of highlighting many things that kavanaugh obviously lied about (not being the character in a friends book, not being in blasey fords social circle, drinking habits, group slang/nicknames, etc).

even with juanita broaddrick vs bill clinton...with the ancillary details she provided...they were able to nail things down to a specific location/date with a high degree of likelihood.

but with reade...major *pertinent* details dont check out and actually *undermine* the allegation itself.

heres a thread detailing specific facts about the time/location that make her alleged chain of events virtually impossible...including the fact that the area was a highly traveled public area in the middle of the day that was literally next to a capitol police station.

this is a big reason why she keeps changing and/or adding important details to her story (like the crotchless panties because people commented that everyone wore panty hose back then and that would have made his alleged actions near impossible). and why her/her lawyer changed the alleged location *just a week ago* (and even the new location is easily debunked in that same thread).

basically the only thing thats actually consistent with fact and supports her claim is that she worked for biden. thats pretty much it. even the *nature* of her role in the biden office that she claimed...thats inconsistently changed over time.

i think the most telling part is that she cant even give a *general* sense of time when the alleged assault occurred. i can understand not being able to provide a specific date or timeframe. but she still hasnt provided a particular week, month, day of the week, memorable events around that time, or anything that would enable independent verification of her claim outside of it being spring and hot. but she allegedly remembers crotchless panties and details about bidens gym bag?

then you have all of inconsistencies/contradictions with the details/time/location/office of the complaint she allegedly filed.

really the lack of credibility around all of the other aspects of her life that were recently dug up are the *least* of her problems when everything is laid bare.
