So it looks like #TaraReade was charged with check fraud on August 2, 1993, and the Biden Senate office forced her to resign in lieu of termination within the end of the week.
Suddenly this whole tawdry spectacle makes a lot of sense...pic.twitter.com/67KKpAuqUi
If a Senate Chief of Staff discovered that a Staff Assistant had charges pending in a California court for check fraud, that explains why #TaraReade was suddenly demoted, relieved of her duties chaperoning the summer interns, not allowed to go to public Senate events.pic.twitter.com/rVLsMlYOxI
#IBelieveTaraReade was telling the truth that in the summer of 1993 her "job was to show up and just look for another job", and other Capitol Hill offices gave her an icy reception.
But the reason no one else on The Hill would hire her was because she had charges pending.pic.twitter.com/nH1vRhvkNw
So when #TaraReade's boyfriend asks her why she was fired from Biden's office, she makes up a sob story about sexual harassment.
She did tell him that "she was having a problem with work", she did "strike a deal" with Ted Kaufman - but she lied to him about what.pic.twitter.com/tQMtY0BxsI
Looks like Tara Reade's mom did call Larry King on August 11, 1993, just a week after she was fired under murky circumstances. But it looks like she lied to her mom about why she was suddenly let go from Biden's office.pic.twitter.com/Ebjx9pfU6p
Throughout 1994, 1995, and 1996, when all of her friends back home asked #TaraReade "What happened in Washington, DC?" she continues her yarn about sexual harassment to save face.
She told her friends something bad happened - but she lied to her friends too.pic.twitter.com/9YqHOUx0xF
So all of these supposed "corroborating witnesses" @ryangrim @NathanJRobinson dug up could have been telling the "truth" - Tara Reade DID tell them that X, Y, and Z happened.
But what she told them all was a lie - a cover story for how she was fired for check fraud.
Seems like Ted Kaufman, Marianne Baker, and Dennis Toner, the Biden staffers in charge, did a mitzvah by letting Tara Reade save face by resigning rather than firing for cause. And they kept their loyalty to the former staffer, didn't bring it up when press asked about her.
Most of all, I think @ReadeAlexandra owes Joe Biden an apology.pic.twitter.com/2JjAK7NYO3
UPDATE!:
San Luis Obispo District Attorney's office confirms that Tara Reade was in fact charged with a misdemeanor check fraud offense on August 2, 1993 - just a few days before her employment at the U.S. Senate abruptly ended.

Court docs are among the easiest and most basic things to look into when fact checking. Begs the question whether Ryan Grim is incompetently lazy and couldn't pass journalism 101, or whether there's something more malicious and deceptive going on.
I think it goes without saying that @RyanGrim blurs the line between journalism and propaganda.
It's not just that he bends the truth to fit a political agenda, it's that he - either negligently or intentionally - doesn't perform his due diligence when reporting stories.
