What’s comical is that the WaPo reported that he recanted the charges: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/postal-worker-fabricated-ballot-pennsylvania/2020/11/10/99269a7c-2364-11eb-8599-406466ad1b8e_story.html?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_source=twitter
“But on Monday, 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 officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday that the ‘whistleblower completely RECANTED.’”
WaPo are bold faced liars.
First question any Assistant US Attorney should be asking is how the hell did the investigators who interviewed him have the right to brief the House oversight committee about the specifics of the interview? This is an ongoing case and all information collected during an active case is forbidden to be disclosed outside of the office/agency involved in the investigation. Which ever investigator/supervisor/clerk etc. that briefed the House needs to be immediately terminated and charged with the appropriate crime.
