Nothing to investigate. Evidence is not impossible, just unlikely. If she had a dated diary entry that said “Biden just raped me today. Brian and Jan told me to shut up.about it” and Brian and Jan corroborate, that’s evidence. I’m sure you’ve been told something similar before this thread. ---

And I didn’t say that the accused don’t matter – I’m just not concerned about the way society treats wealthy/influential accused, just like I’m not concerned about the way cops treat rich white suburbanites. They matter, and society already treats them like they matter. I’m concerned about the house that’s burning down, not the pristine mansion down the street with a state-of-the-art fire suppression system. ---

Wouldn’t it make more sense that the woman go to the local police where it allegedly happened and file a report. Then a grand jury could hear it and decide if there is evidence for an indictment? Isn’t that how the system is supposed to work? ---

> [@pool](#): > > Right but what other option is there for an investigation? It seems if she was serious in her accusation she would go to the police right? No, because the statute of limitations is way the fuck gone past. So going to the police would be useless at this point. If you are just making some roundabout point about how it’s “too late” then lets stop talking right now. ---

It seems on her twitter account she was complimentary about Biden up to 2018 but then started posting about Biden doing favors for the DuPont company (Delaware) and supporting an investigation into Ukraine. Nothing about assault. She also coincidentally went from tweeting/retweeting anti-Putin commentary in the first year of the Trump presidency (when she was praising Biden) to writing fawning blogs about Putin. ---

Look, it’s not worth investigating if you’re not guaranteed to prove it happened, or if it’s, like, hard to do, or might take a while or whatever. So let’s drop it, okay? /sarcasm ---
