Mainecat Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Postal worker admits fabricating allegations of ballot tampering, officials say Source: Washington Post By Shawn Boburg and Jacob Bogage November 10, 2020 at 2:59 p.m. PST A Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three people briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee. Richard Hopkins’ claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Department of Justice calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William P. Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy. But on Sunday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House oversight committee tweeted late Tuesday that the “whistleblower completely RECANTED.” . . . The reversal comes as Trump has refused to concede to President-Elect Joe Biden (D), citing unproven allegations about widespread voter fraud in an attempt to swing the results in his favor. Republicans held up Hopkins’ claims as among the most credible because he signed an affidavit swearing that he overheard a supervisor instructing colleagues to backdate ballots mailed after Nov. 3.

Its boiled down to what is really quite simple. Washington, Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the media are all in bed together, to control the information flow, and what we think we know. Its been exposed and I don't see things improving until people are prosecuted, and some of these businesses are either broken up or fined out of existence. Twitter is not the Ministry of Truth. Neither is WaPo. I don't give a fuck how much money these clowns have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old indy Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Yep its clear we are being pushed i a certain direction like it or not. to me it looks like a OWO. whats most alarming about that is the number of people and groups falling right into line with the BS like its allllllllll good. i guess i should be prepaired to be considered/labeled a dissident and sent to a retraining facility..
