[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the interns had any information, they would have come forward by now. This was all vetted meticulously by the Obama staff in 2008. There was no there, there; there is no there, there.[/quote]

How do  you know?[/quote]

Reade specifically named three people in the office who would corroborate her and they all said they had never heard of such a thing and would have remembered it.[/quote]

It clearly wasn't vetted by Obama.  Otherwise, Joe would  have known about it when Obama's vetting staff asked him about it before asking him to be his VP.  
Or, Joe is  lying when he said he knew nothing of these charges.  [/quote]

He was vetted.  His campaign staff was interviewed when he was considered for VP, and they gave the same answer in 2008 that they gave recently.  Tara Reade's name never came up.  She was a random staffer and no one knew that there was an outstanding rumor or problem with her.

[quote]Axelrod noted that the vetting team of lawyers was charged with thoroughly examining and dissecting the entire history of any public official, including any salacious rumors or damaging gossip.

“Through that entire process, the name Tara Reade never came up,” Axelrod said, referring to the former Senate staffer of Biden’s who recently accused him of sexually assaulting her in 1993. On Friday, Biden unequivocally denied her claims in person. “No formal complaint. No informal chatter. Certainly, no intimation of sexual harassment or assault from her or anyone else,” Axelrod noted. “The team of investigators, expert in their work, would not have missed it.”

Tbe former Obama aide and current CNN contributor went on to note that Obama and Biden were not close friends before the former chose the latter to run with him on the 2008 Democratic ticket. So, if Obama had deemed Biden any kind of political risk, he would not have picked the Delaware senator to be his vice president.[/quote][/quote]
