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.

They got to him...

House committee. Total set up.

In other words, he did this deliberately to make Republicans look foolish. Probably part of a larger plan.

And this is the Washington post!!!!

WaPo.

Fake News.

[madison10]

It does not say which one. Ob6e, from my understanding, signed an affidavit.

Who knows...rumors are everywhere.

What postal worker alleging fraud?

There’s been no stories in the WAPO about him until he recanted after 4 hours of threats from the FBI and having his pay suspended (in violation of whistle blower law)

The communists are taking over.

[a real Sheila]

considering WHAT is at stake, they most definitely got to him!

Sometimes things are just like the movies.
Sometimes people DO get killed when they cross the wrong people.

This is an old tactic.

Get someone to claim first-hand knowledge of criminal activity and then have that source admit they lied.

Generally they don’t carry the tactic to the point of sworn testimony for obvious reasons.

Wouldn’t surprise me. People make things up just to get a rise, double down and then it gets away from them. What isn’t fabricated is the Philadelphia ballot counters keeping GOP monitors away from the building.

[stylin19a]

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.

Charge him right this minute.

[Democrats hate too much]

What evidence did he say he had? Next whistle-blower we need to protect better, legally.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Has this TOOL been arrested YET? Because if he isn’t ARRESTED, he must’ve been strong-armed into recanting his story!

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

We have recordings of the federal agents, who COERCED this man through a 4 hour interrogation Without representation, who stands by his original affidavit re: backdating ballots.

Standby for recordings doubling down on backdating ballots.

This is soviet style truth suppression
