Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade is seeking to defect to Russia – saying on a Kremlin-backed program that she has fears for her own safety in the U.S.
Reade made a series of stunning assertions while appearing on Russian state TV with Maria Butina, who was convicted of acting as an unregistered foreign agent inside the U.S. while cultivating relationships with a series of U.S. political figures. Reade called Butina 'my friend.'
Butina, who was elected to the state Duma in Russia and subjected to U.S. sanctions after Russia's Ukraine invasion, said Reade made her decision on a visit to Moscow.
'I'm still kind of in a daze a bit but I feel very good,' Reade said in an appearance aired on Sputnik. 'I feel very surrounded by protection and safety. And I just really so appreciate Maria [Butina] and everyone who's been giving me that at a time when it's been very difficult to know if I'm safe or not.'
She fielded questions from audience members during an appearance, where she bashed the U.S. position arming Ukraine following Russia's invasion.
'It's very sad that America has chosen the wrong side in history,' she said, echoing Kremlin propaganda about the Ukrainian government.
She described her visit to Moscow as breaking impressions. 'The food tastes so good - there's no chemicals, there's no GMOs,' she said. 'I'm not just giving you a smoke screen.'
She said she wasn't sure she would go back to the U.S. even if Biden is replaced, although she expressed doubts he 'makes it to run again.'
'I'm not sure if the new president will change anything for me. I have lawyers working right now to figure out because some of the cases are sealed that are against me, so I don't know what they have..."

Probably the SAFEST place for her, considering how Democrats deal with people who speak up.
Why Russia and not somewhere like Switzerland?
Surely there are better countries to go to
I never thought I’d see this and yes there were a handful of commie defectors back in the cold war but they were by far the exception. The dims are outcommieing the former commies now.
“Why Russia and not somewhere like Switzerland?”
She’d get deported once the FBI makes up a reason.
She should have accused Trump! She’d be treated like a national hero, given a six figure book deal, a spot on MSNBC and CNN, and a movie deal.
I was thinking along those lines, too.
Didn’t she ever watch “White Nights”?
Tara does need to lose a few dozen pounds. I doubt there are many all-you-can-eat buffets over there.
Dr Gal Luft.
Russia worked for Snowden.
Assange probably wished he had went to Russia.
Had Seth Rich been given a second chance, Russia might have been his best choice as well.
The last line in the Daily Mail story is puzzling.
“Late last year, Russian diplomats sought to bring Reade to the UN to testify about diversion of U.S. weapons provided to Ukraine, Semafor reported.”
I don’t understand this story because she seems to say they are going to prosecute her for something?
I can understand her being fearful of Biden, but she seems to say a republican administration might not protect her?
She can have her opinion on Ukraine. This combination of Ukraine with her “defecting” to Russia is odd.
What work was Reade doing pertaining to weapons to Ukraine?
Now Biden is really going to increase the Drone attacks in Moscow ... He may do it even without 0bama’s permission.
I for one do not blame Tara Reade. Arkancide has become pretty popular ever since the Clinton Administration.
Unless the Biden Administration has one of their alphabet agencies goons very deeply embedded. I suspect MS Reade would be much safer in Moscow than in any place here.
Nowhere in the West is safe from the Deep State, that’s why.
Switzerland is globohomo now.
What work was Reade doing pertaining to weapons to Ukraine?
That’s what I found so puzzling.
Everything in the story seems to go in one direction, and then at the end they throw in that line which has no foundation anywhere in the body of the story.
