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 officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.

Richard Hopkins’s 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 Justice Department 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 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.”

This guy made a video saying he never "recanted" anything no matter what the N.Y. Post said.  A whistleblower that does not get the same protection by the powers that be.

The most common mistake we humans make is failure to allow for the unknown, which vastly outweighs the infinitesimal pittance that we do actually know. Change is the closest thing to a constant that we have in this system in which we reside. Whether or not the masses perceive that is an entirely different matter, but even then, the management of human perception is just as relative as everything else is, contrary to what fools like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos think. Ultimately, they're just as deluded as the people who are being played by them, and no matter what they do, they will end up hoist by their own petards, thanks to the unintended consequences of playing with forces they do not even begin to comprehend. Every dam reaches a point at which it will fail if it excedes it's capacity to withstand the forces it opposes. That point is fast approaching.

Let's just say for fun that Trump was able to pull this off. People would go ape shit. Thank christ I live in a red state.

The only reason Biden appears to have won is because a tiny group of people who control the flow of information decided to create that appearance. Don't make the mistake of thinking people aren't going to go "apeshit" if the conspirators pull this off. If they regain control of the federal government, their vengeance will be merciless. Far worse than if they suffer another defeat. "Unity" is the last thing they intend to bring about.

Your chances of surviving an encounter with violent criminals who seek to kidnap you are FAR better if you resist. Most people who are kidnapped by violent criminals end up dead. Or worse.

You sound insane and I may have to kick you to the curb after all.

I like that he's getting his recounts. It's my extreme pleasure to watch him lose twice. 

Do you question the legitimacy of the election, Maggot? Do you support the unpatriotic demeanor of the GOP who are refusing to accept President-elect Biden?

At least I'm honest about who Trump is. You think we have an objective media, that would inform you if election fraud had been committed.

It is the Secretary of State of every single state in America, Democrat & republican alike, who are saying there was no election fraud, the media simply reports that.

The media reported that Richard Hopkins had recanted his allegations. He didn't.

What does that have to do with all SoS saying there was no fraud?

Let's try to be honest here, OK? You're claiming that the media has reported that every single SoS in the nation has gone on record and declared unequivocally that there has not been any election fraud. The same media that for four years has exhibited a complete and absolute disregard for political impartiality. The same media that is doing everything it can to influence public opinion in support of the candidate it endorsed. Well, that right there is election fraud. That's not "reporting", it's a public relations campaign. Furthermore, even if this claim you reference happens to be true, how is it possible for SoS's to know one way or the other without conducting thorough investigations?

You, like millions of other people in this nation, do not ask the questions that would have to be answered to be able to logically determine if this election has been conducted in a manner that would ensure a fair and legitimate outcome, which tells me that you don't care if fraud has been committed, so long as the candidate you voted for comes out on top.

Is claiming something the same as stating a fact? It's a fact that the Secretary of State of every state in America is on record saying there is no fraud in the 2020 general election. The end. I don't care that you don't believe it and I don't care that you disagree. A fact is a fact, but you're entitled to your own opinion however wrong it may be.

Here's a fact for you: Hundreds of sworn affidavits are being filed across the country, more than 1000, I believe, 234 in Michigan alone. Do you know what the penalty for perjury is in Michigan, Duchess?

Again, it isn't possible to know if election fraud has or hasn't occurred unless thorough investigations are conducted. These affidavits will be investigated, and anyone who claims that there hasn't been any election fraud before they are, is lying.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of sworn affidavits? I hadn't read that and I have been reading about the court cases and the attorneys representing them. Got a link?

The always reliable Kayleigh McWhatever claims it is so. That should be good enough, right? She'd never lie.

I'm a little bothered by poll watchers not being allowed to watch the counting process. A bunch of places didn't allow them in. That's shady right there. I really would like it to be illegal to send out ballots based on registered voters. Absentee voting is better because they have to be requested by a registered voter. This should be fixed before another election. verification and observers need to be in place.

The Democrat & republican campaign each had their own people there. That's a fact. trump lawyers are on record saying that when questioned by the judge/s in every single frivolous lawsuit he brought before the court. C'mon, Maggot, did you even try to find the truth?

Hahaha!

Of course he didn't.
