UPDATED: See *** below. It will not surprise many of you that the original video featuring James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, the fake journalist and scamme, has been debunked AGAIN! James O’Keefe, who is the Roger Stone of Jacob Wohls, was thwarted in this latest scam by the USPS supervisor who, on Saturday, denied allegations that he instructed postal workers to backdate ballots.
Well … the thing about election fraud is that the DOJ actually has an election fraud desk… and both AG Barr and Lindsey Graham called for an investigation. OOPS!
The USPS IG sent out postal inspectors (yes there really are postal police) and Richard Hopkins’ claim has now been recanted. UPDATED as he recanted the recant:...See *** below
The vast right wing conspirators are still hard at work… but obviously missing their most cherished of Ratf*ckers, like the Lincoln Project’s dirty trickster Rick Wilson, who would have assured the perps went into hiding: ala Mark Judge in the Brett Kavanaugh affair.
As amusing as this is, James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, like Jacob Wohl and Roger Stone, keeps getting away with fraud. In this case, it is bribery and election interference. Is it not time that these disgusting people were stopped?
Hat Tip to Laughing Gravy who reminded me to check on how Wohl was doing, being they were charged with election interference with their robocalls. Not well, but his dad’s a lawyer so he might get 4 : “Ohio's Attorney General referred the case to Cuyahoga County prosecutors, who have indicted Wohl and Burkman on eight counts of telecommunications fraud and seven counts of bribery, for a possible 18 years in prison.”
Here is Kayleigh McNinny making the fake video go viral. Please also note that James forgot to blur the face when he first aired the video on his twitter page awhile ago. Richard Hopkins was made famous… so I guess he came forward to become the RW hero of the times as he was now outed. (And started a GOFUNDME himself FOR himself that has since been deleted)
Also notable is that the latest tRUMP backed lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania was yesterday … and it INCLUDED this fake information … even though the USPS supervisor DENIED it had happened on the weekend.
Have no clue about Project Veritas? No worries. I wrote about them and their nefarious past just last month, when their previous scam fell through. It is important you know about these RW bastards that got tRUMP elected and are trying to keep him there. Please read a bit if you are not aware of this group.
The Oligarchs are not going to let go of their tax cut cash cow easily… EG: Okeefe and Project Veritas has received significant funding from the Mercer family and Trump as well as Koch Bros — worked with Erik Prince during the 2016 election and has also received funding from Peter Thiel.
I am thinking Bill Barr might not be doing his actual job… being his claim that in Texas, 1,700 ballots were collected and used to vote… for the person of their choice was debunked by his OWN DOJ. It is so good to know that America’s top cop and Christo-fascist is such a damned liar!
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Barr cited to the Texas case in attempt to provide evidence in support of the claim that “elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion.”
“For example, we indicted someone in Texas, 1,700 ballots collected, he — from people who could vote, he made them out and voted for the person he wanted to. OK?” Barr said. “That kind of thing happens with mail-in ballots and everyone knows that.”
I see that annieli posted as I was writing. I assure you that I did a search before I wrote it so there would be no duplication… shit sigh.
GOP donors paid $130,000 to postal worker to claim voter fraud
Although anneieli is not verbose, she did find some additional information to copy and paste to make a post. I am leaving mine up should any eyeballs venture this way, because I have included information and research on James Okeefe’s, past and Project Veritas previous scams.
***************** UPDATE *******************
Hat Tip to fcvaguy for this video, of the recanting of the recant. The DRAMALAMA continues… sigh
Hat Tip to iraqnam
The deleted Gofundme page is in the web archive HERE
And another update…
Supposedly Hopkins taped the USPS police while they interviewed him. He says he recanted only out of fear and was coerced. Methinks this snake really is a bitter postal employee . Here is some of tomorrow’s drama and distraction… cherry picked because it shows the tactics used in his interrogation. tRUMP’s lawyers have contacted him so he likely got a huge bribe to recant the recant… and at this point, given tRUMP’s mobster ties and previous criminal actions, that is not hyperbole.
Here is Okeefe’s new interview of Richard Hopkins:

This is one of those times you might want to get the NYT in print. Having this sell big would go a long way to slap the sadsoreloser back to being a failed businessman … VIA the NYT
NYT Nov 11… officials from all 50 states were contacted… “Election officials nationwide find no fraud,” with quotes from Republican and Democrat state officials across the country
