Biden Accuser Tara Reade Sues DOJ, Seeks Millions in Damages Following Alleged ‘FBI Operation’ Against Her

"Tara Reade, the woman who came forward in 2020 with a sexual assault allegation against then-candidate Joe Biden, is suing the Department of Justice over alleged misconduct.

A lawyer for Reade filed a tort claim on Wednesday seeking $10 million “for infliction of emotional distress and anxiety” following what was described as an “FBI operation” that was conducted after she came forward with her accusation against Biden. The tort claim alleges Reade’s Fourth Amendment right was violated as well as violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and state privacy laws.

Included in the tort claim was a July 2020 grand jury subpoena issued to Twitter from the US District Court for the Eastern District of California demanding all records pertaining to Reade’s Twitter accounts.

The tort claim outlines several allegations against the FBI, insisting it was behind suspicious occurrences like disruptions in her bank accounts and a manuscript of her book that had gone missing from a FedEx shipment in November 2020 that further detailed her claims against Biden.

“The United States should not have a two-tiered justice system,” Reade’s attorney Jonathan Levy said in a statement.

“If President Trump and Mr. Giuliani can be assessed tens of millions in damages for their words; a weaponized FBI that seeks to silence, intimidate and eliminate Joe Biden’s victim, Tara Reade, must also be held accountable; failing to do so means our justice and legal system has become an instrument of political oppression and suppression.”

Tara Reade? You mean the lady who repeated lied under oath while being paid as an "expert witness"?

May 21, 2020
As Tara Reade’s expert witness credentials are questioned, so are verdicts

... Reade told The New York Times that she had obtained her degree through a “protected program” for victims of spousal abuse, which, court records show, she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband in the mid-1990s. That history, she said, caused her to change her name, leading to confusion about her status at the school. She later received a law degree from Seattle University.

But an Antioch spokeswoman, Karen Hamilton, told The New York Times that while Reade had attended classes, she was certain Reade had not received a degree.

In her testimony in the 2018 trial, Reade was questioned about her degree by Soltesz. She testified that she received a liberal arts degree, as was stated on her résumé provided by the district attorney’s office. “The focus was political science,” she said, according to a trial transcript.

... “[Reade] attended but did not graduate from Antioch University. She was never a faculty member. She did provide several hours of administrative work,” Karen Hamilton, an Antioch spokesperson, told CNN in May.

CNN also reported that Reade claimed “she received a bachelor of arts degree from Antioch University in Seattle under the auspices of a ‘protected program,’ personally working with the former president of the school to ensure her identity was protected while she obtained credits for her degree.” The outlet added: “An Antioch University official told CNN that such a ‘protected program’ does not exist and never has.”

... In September 2000, under the name Alexandra McCabe, Reade enrolled in Antioch University Seattle’s bachelor’s degree completion program. Reade had, to that point, attended at least four colleges: Cuesta College, Long Beach City College, Pasadena City College, and UC Santa Barbara.

@ElwoodBlues What does that have to do with anything?

@sunsporter1649 You think a proven courtroom liar is a good witness?? You think she won't be eviscerated on the stand???

@ElwoodBlues Does the name blasey ford ring a bell?

ElwoodBlues · M

@sunsporter1649 You're saying "blasey ford" went into multiple different court rooms, posed as an expert witness each time, and lied about her credentials each time??

You think a proven courtroom liar like Tara Reade is a good witness?? You think she won't be eviscerated on the stand???

@MarmeeMarch Read the excerpts. That very same Tara Reade got paid as an expert witness in several trials. As part of her sworn testimony she gave her credentials each time, recorded by the court recorder. And those credentials are false according to the schools.

So yeah, she said whatever she said to the BBC, but if she gets on any witness stand, she'll immediately be asked about her credential lies, and her testimony will be undermined and seen as worthless. She destroyed her own credibility.

“[Reade] attended but did not graduate from Antioch University. She was never a faculty member. She did provide several hours of administrative work,” Karen Hamilton, an Antioch spokesperson, told CNN in May.

@MarmeeMarch What I'm telling you is what courts consider admissible evidence about witnesses. And it has been so for hundreds of years. Judges don't allow juries to hear inadmissible evidence, and it's standard procedure for judges to admit evidence that raises questions about the veracity of a witness.

You may not like it, but courts have been doing it for centuries. In the real world, courts very much DO "base the credibility of the past and mix it with a completely different allegation." All the time.

I don't know and you don't know what really happened to Ms Reade decades ago. But what I do know is that a proven court liar is useless as a sworn witness.

@ElwoodBlues Like determining that Mar-A-Largo is worth $18,000,000?
