Evidence that Tara Reade isn't writing her own tweets, w/ examples:

http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWutWKyWsAIXf5A?format=jpg&name=large





Well, I had planned to spend a good chunk of time reading Tara's old tweets to find ones that seemed to be written in a Russian accent.

I only made it 2 weeks back before I ran out of space for more examples.

These are the red flags I found JUST from the last 2 weeks.





You might think I'm being harsh here, but she graduated from law school and is a native English speaker. If she's trying to present herself as a smart, professional woman , she should tweet in proper English.

Here are some of the most interesting red flags that stood out to me:





"SWITCH AND BAIT"

Just hilarious! She's defending herself from being called a Russian agent by screwing up a common English phrase





She has "medical and education debt".
And a lot of otherwise poor grammar.





For contrast, here is a piece of writing that was confirmed to have been written by Tara.

It has phrases like "the eucalyptus swayed in the gentle morning breeze"...and she clearly enjoys writing in a flowery/wordy style. The polar opposite of her Twitter style.





Now scroll back up and compare it to how she speaks now. Either she lost fluency in English or someone else is writing her tweets.

Perhaps the Russian troll farm bought out both accounts.

Forget the tweets. The articles read like rather florid novels. She claims to have had a premonition of a horse being injured when it’s photo fell off her wall. And she calls an animal psychic to find out what injured it. The language is reminiscent of her father’s florid novel.

And her report of staying with the husband who tortured not only her but their daughter was chilling. I know people stay and though I don’t think any reason is good enough to let a child be abused I know one’s thoughts can get very disordered in some situations. But her writing, again, has a certain relish to it. Could be she’s just an awful writer who doesn’t know she is, but she seems to me to enjoy telling strange stories of injury and becoming a hero thereby.

This is speculation, but there are certainly tells about her mental composition there.

Just about every actor portraying Russians speaking English. I honestly don't know any native Russians that speak English, but if I did, I'd want to ask them about this.

This is beyond bizzare. Maybe Tara is being involved in some kind of hostage/blackmail situation and is secretly trying to convey this in a very subtle manner?
