The Washington Post has a story about the Erie, Pennsylvania postal worker who claimed to not have not recanted his fantasy about overhearing a conspiracy to backdate ballots. For some unknown reason Project Veritas thinks the audiotape of the postal worker’s interview with investigators from the Post Office Inspector General’s proves the opposite of what it does. There is no coercion in the interview. The investigators repeatedly advise Hopkins of his right to not speak to them and his right to have a lawyer present. And in no uncertain terms, he recants his affidavit story, even claiming he didn’t read what the Project Veritas lawyers had written for him to sign.
Of course, the MAGA cultists commenting on the Youtube audio are aghast that an investigator would ask courageous whistleblower questions in a way that makes him think twice about what he had sworn to in an affidavit. I would copy and paste the Washington Post article here but I don’t want to violate copywrite. I’m sure it will show up in the comments.
Rather than the latinate “Project Veritas,” a name that better reflects its true affinity would be “Project Pravda.”
I’ve been rendering as the homophone, “Project Very Tass.”
The overall message of the Trumpkins is that Americans lie. And if you do not believe the lie as gospel, then you will get bullied. My question is Why would any business, country, or diplomat want to do business or negotiate with the US when they have proven that they can not tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
Ok Sandwichman:
The Guardian: Democrats on the House oversight committee said that Richard Hopkins – the worker who claimed in a signed affidavit that a supervisor at the US Postal Service (USPS) in Erie, Pennsylvania, instructed staff to tamper with ballots by backdating ones that arrived late – had recanted the allegations in an interview with investigators for the USPS inspector general. The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that it had learned from three officials that Hopkins had admitted to fabricating his claims.
Investigators told the committee that Hopkins “did not explain why he signed a false affidavit”, the committee wrote in a statement.
The South Carolina Republican senator Lindsey Graham, who heads the Senate judiciary committee, had held up Hopkin’s affidavit to call for a federal investigation.
And in the same Guardian article is this: “Hopkins denied he had recanted his testimony in a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday night. “I did not recant my statements,” he said.
The USPS inspector general’s office has not yet publicly disclosed the findings of their investigation.”
This witness scam is small time compared to this in Florida:
Evidence suggests several state Senate candidates were plants funded by dark money
Local 10 News has found evidence to suggest three such candidates in three Florida Senate district races, two of them in Miami Dade County, were shill candidates whose presence in the races were meant to siphon votes from Democratic candidates.
This is flat out election fraud.
