But think I got the most important half - the section where Mika presses him on authorizing a search of the U. of Delaware records. he stonewalls. She asks why not authorize a search of the UD records, if you are wiling to authorize a search of the National archives? His best answer is "there's nothing there".

But the bad part was not the stonewalling - it was that he seemed not to comprehend the question. He was not prepared for that, and he seemed to not understand what was being asked or why.

Stay tuned for Part 90,000,000 of the he said, she said routine. Cosby, Weinstein, Kavanaugh, Bill Clinton, and many others.

What little I saw of the Mika interview was OK - she returned to the question several times when he did not answer it.

Did he do it? I don't know. Probably, but it is not proven yet. Are the Democrats hypocrites for their variable and political handling of claims like this? Certainly. Do I want Biden to be removed as candidate? No, his replacement would almost certainly be worse.

So, in another question, when Biden says it never happened, that the accusations are not true, is he calling Reade a liar? Is anybody?

Obviously he is calling her a liar.

It's good to see reporters pressing Biden on the issue - claims of abuse of power should be heard and examined. It's good to see Biden addressing the issue, regardless of how well he responds (I haven't watched the video, so I can't comment on specifics yet).
