I will admit, Warren on the ticket will make the bitter pill of Biden go down a lot easier. https://t.co/brSZy6cNX9

If you're writing a piece about a politician's papers - what might be in them, how they might be searched, how long that might take, what's usual or unusual about the restrictions placed on them, etc - then maybe you should speak with an archivist and/or a political historian?

@historianess I said something, too. Historians everywhere hitting their heads against things; archivists tearing their hair out. People. Just. Don't. Get. It. I'm not trying to shield Biden from anything. I'm just saying they don't understand what they're asking. At all.

@ShadowBanned00 @d_mccarthy37 @yashar I don't, if it were just about the Tara Reade accusation. I just don't want somebody turning over random unrelated papers and weaponizing them out of context. I've looked through National Archives politician records. NO politician opens them before retiring and for good reason.

I posted this before Biden's statement & interview re: Tara Reade. I'll add that "opening the [uncurated] UDel Biden Papers" in search of a stray memo would allow a fishing expedition into unrelated material to use for political purposes. It'd be "but her emails" on steroids. https://t.co/gfsNHK5XJe

One difference between Biden and Trump when it comes to sexual assault allegations is that in the case of Trump there is a recording where he brags about doing it.

It seems entirely reasonable at this point to demand that a responsible third party be given access to the Biden archives at the University of Delaware to determine whether there's any pertinent material there, alongside similar searches of other potentially pertinent archives.

@johnlk_80 @jaketapper Well there you go. And know these rules aren't about Biden. This is the Senate insulating everyone. https://t.co/NuOFCyBxSN

@AviWoolf I thought both Mika and Biden handled it as well as they possibly could. Mika asked persistent questions and Biden threaded the needle between denying the accusations and refusing to attack the accuser.

What's Next for Presumptive Nominee Joe Biden?
