It's pretty simple.
Reade says that she was declined representation. Time's Up claims that they offered to represent her, but Reade declined.
Or in short, this will become an absolute mess in short order.

Can anyone find the yahoo.com article referenced in the vox article. The tweet has a link to yahoo under lifestyle for some reason, but there isn't anything on yahoo about the allegations.

Trump uses the DPA for the first time, ordering General Motors "to accept, perform, and prioritize Federal contracts for ventilators." Accuses GM of "wasting time" after talks to jointly produce ventilators were put on hold.

Yeah "Reade received referrals to pro bono lawyers who declined her case" seems like it squares the circle here

On his handling of the virus. It has jumped about 20 points in a couple of weeks.

It hasn't jumped about twenty points - it's jumped between eight and twenty points depending on the poll - and his personal favorability is still underwater.

Further, his approval jump on COVID was lower than all other world leaders and mostly attributable to Democratic voters trying to give him leeway. Your comment was Chicken Little-ing.

Fox News now reporting the Biden allegation:
www.foxnews.com

Biden campaign adamantly denies allegation of sexual assault

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign on Friday adamantly denied a newly surfaced allegation of sexual assault leveled by a former Senate staffer, calling the claim concerning the purported incident decades ago “false.”

You can all read it to see how they are framing the story so far, but this is just a boosting of the story, not any investigative work.

some state governments

I'm quite happy with how well New York has sheltered me from the worst of the Trump administration
New York State government is shit, if not for them we would have much better environmental regulations in NYC, including the recently passed plastic bag ban years ago. Don't get me started. What is the sense in Albany overriding NYC regulations?? Don't get me started I said!

What legal council would decline something like this though? This is career defining.
Career defining in a bad way. They lawyers probably didn't see a case. The statute of limitations has long since passed i'm sure. I still haven't sorted out who declined who so I hope more reporting is done.

Seems like there should be no shortage of lawyers who would jump at taking on this case pro-bono now that it's out in the open. If you can take down a former Vice President, you write your own check for the rest of your life.

Ford had pro-bono representation from what I recall and that was in the 80s.

But yeah I assume they're hunting for the lawyers now.

Time's Up says she declined their offers of pro-bono referrals to counsel.
Reade says the pro-bono lawyers/counsel declined her case when she told them the details.
Intercept says Time's Up refused any offer of representation/legal counsel.

Everyone pointing fingers at everyone else.

I'd totally dismiss whatever The Intercept says. They're not one of the parties involved and they have an agenda. Hypothetically you could just have Reade publicly ask Time's Up for a pro-bono referral to counsel to see who's lying, but I'm sure that has its own set of complications. I'm inclined to believe it doesn't matter at this point. Reade should just retain her own counsel.

It's wrong

Cuomo being a thing is an example of someone filling the void Biden is lsaving. No one would care about fucking Cuomo if Biden was doing what he should be doing right now. People wouldn't be looking to him or his pressers if Biden showed any kind of leadership through this. Trump has done nothing but bullshit and downplay how much help states need and he's letting it go. He's talking about reopening everything already. If what Trump is doing matters now then Biden is helping him by allowing his narratives to go completely unchecked.

Biden doing nothing here matters, yeah.

Trump on Sunday, before enforcing the DPA this afternoon:

"We're a country not based on nationalizing our business. Call a person over in Venezuela; ask them how did nationalization of their businesses work out. Not too well. The concept of nationalizing our business is not a good concept."

Republicans bringing us to Venezuela, trillion dollar bailouts too.

There's a difference between not wanting to get into a petty political sniping battle with Trump in a crisis and remotely challenging the insane anti science rhetoric he is spewing that will get people killed and the games he's playing with governors of states he doesn't give a fuck about
