The Monterey County District Attorney’s office has launched an investigation into whether Tara Reade lied on the witness stand while acting as an expert witness.
Reade, under the name Alexandra McCabe, for years testified as an expert in domestic violence cases for the California D.A.’s office. Among the issues is whether she lied about her credentials to qualify as an expert.
“We are investigating whether Ms. McCabe gave false testimony under oath,” Monterey County chief assistant district attorney Berkley Brannon told POLITICO Tuesday.
Brannon said the office does not yet know how many cases in which Reade testified as an expert.

Coincidental, I'm sure.

Why is it ok that political operatives, particularly dems, progressives, liberals, are allowed to use the powers and tools of government to intimidate, smear, slander, silence, destroy livelihoods, drain savings, and bring random legal charges against anyone not submitting to their directives? Why are those who vote for these people ok with this?

#2, because the 'Media' are always on their side and will paint away any of their malfeasance, and we on the right let them get away with it without firing a shot.

But did we check the credentials of Ms. Blase-ford? I think not!! Just put her up there as the picture of perfection and victimhood. Poor Ms. Reade--life picked apart because she dared to challenge Joe the Juggernaut on his way to the oval office.
Joe isn't rocketing into the WH like the left had hoped. He's spiraling down and taking #Metoo with him.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! The hypocrisy of the left is on full display in this quagmire! TRUMP 2020 AND BEYOND!!!

I guess this signals the end of the "Me Too" movement? It was a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault of women. Now there is an exception/exemption for Democrat politicians! Anyone surprised? Of course not!

The status of 'expert witness' is granted by the judge in a trial, or an arbitrator in an arbitration proceeding. The status is important because no one, other than an expert witness, can offer opinions,in testimony.
Expert witness status is given when the witness has experience, education, or training which gives them the capacity to provide useful opinions. The education does not have to be formal - in the movie, My Cousin Vinnie, Marissa Tomei was granted expert witness status for her testimony about cars, transmissions, differentials because of her experience as an auto mechanic.
There is nothing in Tara Reade's background, based on what is in this article, that would qualify her for expert witness status in any kind of case.
I expressed concern about her credibility when this story first broke. i continue to be skeptical.

Coming from California and Politico, you knew which direction this opinion was going to take before reading the first sentence, didn't you? Does this mean that Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby were falsely accused and imprisoned? I didn't think so.
If the Left had an ounce of integrity then Doctor Squeaky Ford and Harvey's string of innocent, deflowered actresses would be all over the media defending Ms Reade now wouldn't they?

President Trump was impeached on the grounds that a legal investigation into obvious violations of law could have an impact on an election.
Tara Reade sure isn't getting the Hunter Biden treatment. Guess they changed their position.

Sad thing for these people is that God is watching all their enabling of evil. Liars and embracing the double standards they do, they gotta protect the groper that is Biden in every way possible.

This investigation, I am sure, has been launched after a similar inquiry into the veracity of Ms. Blasey Ford!

The Democrat Machine's Department of Damage Control and Bimbo Eruption Containment is running at full power to destroy her and save Joe from being held accountable.

I hope Ms Reid has no unpaid parking tickets or overdue library books. The CNN-televised raid on Roger Stone's house will look like a meter maid writing a parking ticket compared to that arrest.

I can't blame the DA's office for doing this. While they certainly should have investigated Ballsey Ford, the fact that Tara Reade acted as an expert witness is worth investigating.
I served on a jury where an expert testified about child grooming. Although she didn't persuade us one way or another, her testimony was ultimately used to overturn the verdict on appeal.

This is real. There does not appear to be much reason to qualify her as an expert witness. A lot of convictions may be overturned. This actually will be a real black eye on the DA and the judiciary because they are the ones that held her up as an expert. I don’t find her credible but NOTHING will take away from the hypocrisy of the mainstream media in how her story was treated vs. Blakey-Ford. Keep in mind, had she had the full weight of the news media and savvy political operative attorneys scrubbing her social media and getting ducks in a row before she came out against Biden, this may have been different.

OK, sending the government thugs to shut up an inconvenient victim.
The usual Demonrat playbook.
