Project Veritas has released the full, unedited, audio of U.S. Postal Service whistleblower Richard Hopkins being questioned by federal authorities after he disclosed ballot manipulation in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The interview was conducted by USPS Office of The Inspector General, Russell Strasser, and Postal Inspector Charles “Chris” Klein. This is the interview where the Washington Post falsely reported that whistleblower Hopkins recanted his statement.
.
When someone repeatedly states “I’m going to be honest with you,” as Russell Strasser does in this interview, it is a key indicator the conversation is dishonestly being constructed. If someone is honest they do not need to qualify the standard. This was a very sketchy interview done with a purpose to manipulate the whistleblower.
88.5% turnout in Montgomery county PA (my neighboring county). Philly ran out of mythical people to cast ballots, so they moved their operation into the neighboring counties.

I think you might have a point. Just saw this
Brian Fitzpatrick (R) won with 245k votes compared to 188k for Finello (D). But the presidential election for Bucks County shows over 200k votes for Biden(D) and 184k votes for Trump (R). The results are flipped.
The weekend before the election, you couldn’t look in any direction without seeing MULTIPLE vehicles with huge trump flags..
One great piece of advise my Dad told me when I was a kid that I have passed to all mine is very simple.
Don’t SAY ANYTHING to a cop or anyone of authority ONLY say “I want my lawyer”.
Innocent or guilty if you are being interviewed without your lawyer you are in trouble.
Yeah, just ask Mike Flynn.
That there… that’s “the Talk” every parent need give.
My Dad was never in any trouble. He was in the Air Force, so he taught me by default.
I was a new kid in school 22 times. After I got into the 4th grade, I would meet my new school principal on my first day. After I punched a bully in the nose.
A lawyer actually told me, about law enforcement and judges. If I didn’t pass the bar, they won’t believe my truth, if it doesn’t fit their means to an end.
This is the simple reason ‘We the People’ are in this jam right now.
I ‘know’ the Democrats stole this election, illegally.
75 million voters know it as well. If it doesn’t get fixed?
America will find out what happens, when evil overcomes good.
We will never be the same country, ever.
So, do these knuckle dragging mouth breathers ever investigate the fraud? NOPE. They are a part of it. Guilt by instigation is still guilt. BURN those TAXPAYER FUNDED Bitches!

Fmr GTMO interrogator watched the Veritas post office video and tells me, “Just the tone and tempo of his voice you can tell he’s stressed out but feels superior to the guy he’s trying to coerce”
They should attempt to ask more interesting questions…such as…
“Do you walk to work or do you carry your lunch?”
My standard reply is that I use an umbrella.
It would take them a while to figure out where to wipe…just sayin’.
Shouldn’t the USPS agent be reported? I’m guessing he broke a boat load of rules after listening to the video. It’s problematic he works for the IG but there must be a process for reporting problems with the IG office. I remember reading about the IG of IGs but can’t remember who it is.
In my dealings over the years with salespeople, I have had them say “Can I be honest with you for a second?”. When I was younger, I politely found a reason that I wouldn’t spend my money with them. Now that I’m older, I immediately say “since that means you’ve been lying to me, you and I are done” and I walk out the door without looking back.
Only a person wanting to go to jail would speak to the effbeeeye without an attorney, a good one at that. They are the lying-est bunch of azzholes to ever walk on the earth.
Watch them try to file charges against this WB.
I listened to the first hour and 15 minutes of the interview.
While the IG guy is a total worm, he pretty quickly established that you could drive a truck through the gaps in the postal worker’s story.
Unfortunately, the postal worker didn’t hear entire states and makes several assumptions about what the context or content of what he didn’t hear was.
Now, the postal worker might have interpreted everything bang-on, but he has no real evidence of anything bad happening.
I don’t expect much from this.
Linus-
I hear what you’re saying, but that was the point of the exercise for them. You are looking at this the wrong way. These 2 had in front of them a guy who honestly believed he heard incriminating, vote defrauding stuff. He is the only one in the interview to present as trying to be as truthful as possible, while pointing at what could be, in his estimation as a four year vet of the usps who knows full well what he overheard means in the context of what he would normally hear every day, fraudulent doings and perfidy. 10 minutes in, if these 2 were worth a tenth of what we taxpayers pay them, they would have quit bullying him and moved on to questioning “Stephanie”, “Rob”, and “Daryll” to see what their answers were and what really happened here. Where are their unrepresented testimonies? These guys’ job isn’t to make holes in this guys’ story, it’s to determine if he has any honesty or validity, which he obviously does, it’s on his sleeve, then go ask real questions of the folks he told them about. I wouldn’t trade this Marine/Soldier/Mail Carrier and his honesty for 100 of these 6 figure agent’s looking to kill this case in that office in the first 2 hours. Re-writing his affidavit instead of interviewing the 3 he called out? Disgusting.
He only wanted it investigated without putting himself at risk.
Goal achieved – with some risk.

I always liked Thomas Drake, and still hope to buy him a beer some day… same with Flynn, of course. Good guys.
We needed Trump two terms, followed by each of his kids and grandkids to drain this swamp! DC being some 90% dems tells you all you need to know about the cesspool.
Let me ask you a question. Would you buy a used car from either of these guys? I listened to five minutes and had to go take a long shower with really hot water, a bar of Lava soap and a stiff bristle brush! And still couldn’t get it to wash off!
President Trump is going to win and thank God there are comments on here who understand “Penalty of Perjury”, Lawyer’s present in any investigative interview, keep your mouth shut when no lawyer is present and evidence to back up testimony. Bravo!!
The point is, this guy is useless as a witness but none of this matters, they have plenty of evidence and testimony from more than enough people.
Leslie McAdoo Gordon does an excellent breakdown of the interview. (Twitter)
About 18% of the public believes what NBC, CNN, ABC, & CBS is peddling these days. About the same number coincidentally of hardcore leftwing socialist progressives in the country. NBC NEWS video there is pure propaganda.
Arizona & Nevada will go to the challenger; while PA, MI, WI, GA, & NC will go to the incumbent. A recount should take away that one Nebraska EC vote that BigMedia is giving Biden bringing the likely final Electoral College count to TRUMP – 295 , Biden – 243.
————————— 30 ————————–
I’m still dreaming about President Trump winning the popular vote, thereby winning 189 more EC votes from the 14 states in the Popular Vote Compact. It’s almost sadistic how much pleasure that thought gives me. 😉

I’m shocked that the USPS agents(United States of America Postal Service owned by the Taxpayers)conducted themselves like FBI thugs…shocked!
If the SCOTUS conducts themselves in this manner, the treasonous rats may as well turn the deed of the USA over to the Chinese.
That is some deep sh*t BS right there – the poor guy gets the fifth degree treatment form the IG – over what he knows as the truth. He should have at least had the union rep there.
The union rep in this case is in the pocket of the democrats….he’s as bad or worse than USPS thugs.

BREAKING NEWS:
President of the Federal Election Commission Drops Bombshell: ‘This election is unconstitutional’
Published on November 11, 2020
https://recentlyheard.com/2020/11/11/president-of-the-federal-election-commission-drops-bombshell-this-election-is-unconstitutional/
“The Chief Electoral Officer of the Federal Election Commission made a Bombshell statement, saying that, from what he saw in Pennsylvania, and news that he had come from elsewhere in the world, this election was unconstitutional.
It’s very explosive news. The Chief Electoral Officer, Trey Trainor, has stated that, in his expert view, “the referendum has not been open” and “this election is invalid.”
He dropped the bomb on the liberal news media in Newsmax as he revealed that he claimed: “that there was election fraud in some areas.””
============================================
WHO IS THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION: The Federal Election Commission is an independent regulatory agency created by Congress in 1975 to administer and enforce the Federal Elections Campaign Act. The FEC is responsible for disclosing campaign finance information, enforcing limits and prohibitions on contributions, and overseeing the public funding of presidential elections.
https://news.ballotpedia.org/2020/01/20/hunter-becomes-chair-of-federal-election-commission/
They don’t even have a quorum on the FEC. It is woefully undermanned. People have been there long after the positions they were appointed to. Be careful what you ask for. I’ve been bringing this to light for months to no avail.
Another gubt entity that the ignorant Senators will not approve people for that President TRUMP has appointed.
On the contrary.
Instructions to segregate and backdate ballots in a local sorting office might be overenthusiastic partisans acting individually, but the IG covering up the misdemeanour by endeavouring to specifically negate such allegations in written testmony makes it a conspiracy against the US at the federal level – which is at best 5 years in prison and arguably, at worst, capital punishment for treason – so little wonder the IG officers sounded more nervous than the whistleblower..
After thinking about what Alex seemed to say (originally) about the supervisor stating that he “messed up” by allowing one ballot to be postmarked for the 4th, I believe their goal may have been to avoid postmarking any late ballot at all.
Some claimed (or wanted to believe) that the PA Supreme Court ruled that ballots with missing or unclear postmarks could be counted. This may be why late ballots were gathered up and kept out of the normal “mail stream,” which would have sent them to be postmarked (with the true date) and distributed to carriers for delivery.
Maybe it’s not a case of backdating but a case of ensuring that no late ballots were dated at all, so would then be counted.
Really tedious to listen to…
The interrogator jabs, backs off, wastes time, talks bs, and tries to wear out the whistle-blower into making a stupid statement, or just gives-up & backs-off.
Maybe this is how these government managers are “taking care of business” , but they sure seem to be “workin’ at nuthin all day”, IMHO.
For people that don’t have too much time on their hands – I timed the points of interest to me. fwiw
26: 20 Alex not expecting to see others (after hours?)coordinated intimidation ambush? brought in — a table of supervisors watching the hearing test?
28:50 OIG “ok I don’t want to put you on display anymore”
29:50 AH “even thought the supervisors were sitting there staring at us” incredulous
30:00 OIC ’ya saw what I did there right?” Oh yeah.
36:36 OIC “well, I am actually trying to twist you a little bit..” Trying to intimidate and confuse before he ever takes Alex’s testimony?
38:45 AH what he heard that day – shaky on verbatim or still a bit shaken from what went down 8 minutes ago? Or wary of the trap being blatantly laid for him?
39:40 OIG questioning AH motives
40:00 AH Why are we doing this?
42:00 OIG you heard these words —the 4th postmark – most were the third – one was the fourth —-. is that right?
And when you priced those words together you ASSUMED what they were saying was…
43:43 OIG this is not even hearsay, it’s your assumption
45:36 OIG brings up a gofundme account that Alex has no access to…
45:54 OIG “I am trying to scare you”
46:46 AH I wanted this investigation to happen and keep anonymous
53:00 Postal Inspector Chris Klein takes over starts with Project Veritas and confirming AH lawyer status.
55:00 CK points out PV’s incentive to act with good will – any legal stuff? Only affidavit. How often do you talk with PV?
57:30 AH Describes the reaction returning to work on Friday. Buzzing and then he was summoned for paperwork for something A PPI in June. Union let him swing alone – other attitudes made him come out of the shadows – everyone knew he was the whistle blower. Thought his job was not safe (from 1000 paper cuts of bureaucrats).
58:30 confirming AH set up the gfm account to pay his bills IF he lost his job
1:00:40 OIG back to the ballots
1:03:39 AH put one ballot on Chris Leonardi’s desk (small mark w 10/05 – Chris is his landlord – and has tried to convince AH everything is fake news.
1:05:00 OIG recap of the narrowest facts
From here-rewriting his affidavit under the supervision of the OIG and Postal Inspector.
1:21:00 This is where they change the affidavit and claim RH recanted….
1:22:42 OIG right now we are filling in as many potholes as we can – other entities are acting in their own self interest…. (Everybody but me!)
1:24:00 Can AH take it home and relax before signing amendment? Affidavit… OIG “We’ll see”
1:27:40 Throwing Steph under the bus to protect postmaster???
Word sparsing – rewriting…
1:54:20 OIG “Oh we’re being recorded??”….. alrightythen LOL
Thanks for indexing the two hour OIG waterboarding of honest letter carrier
Yes, I tho’t that was made illegal.
Cliff notes. Thank you! I am about half in and it’s take 2 sessions to get this far.
It worked for a very short time, then the msm lost more credibility. Now they have just as many headlines where RH is demanding a retraction from Washington Post.
What a creep…. I struggled to listen to it because he was so disgustingly creepy, patronising and sucky.
Strasser is a deep state operative who tried to hide with a burner twitter account, he not only doesn’t investigate election fraud, he was part of the plan to facilitate it. He worked with WaPo to produce propaganda that the whistleblower made false claims. If you recall the whistleblower who lit the fuse to the phony Ukraine impeachment remained confidential and was never questioned. They just did a phony investigation of their fake claims.
At least half of American people are not stupid enough to not see this.
Keep fighting, when they push, push back harder. Not taking this.
The USPS is very big on polygraphs. Mr. Hopkins should volunteer to take one AND the people he overheard talking about marking the ballots for the 4th. That should put to rest any doubt.
Listening to this, i just imagine how sleazy Strzok did the same thing to Flynn, with the same sleazy voice
He has to be a descendant.
The Strasserites advocated the radicalization of the Nazi regime and the toppling of the German elites, calling Hitler’s rise to power a half-revolution which needed to be completed.
At the risk of getting flamed for this comment, I am disappointed in the generalities that the whistleblower attested to in his affidavit.
When you’re a whistleblower in something this significant you make notes and date and time those notes as to what was said by whom.
This whistleblower may not be that sophisticated, but he did make statements in his initial statement vis-a-vis who said what that was easily disproven by the IG.
Veritas wrote up the original statement and they did a major disservice to the whistleblower and America by not drilling down on the exactitudes like the IG has in this recording.
Additionally, the whistleblower should have never signed anything put in front of him by anyone without having a lawyer review it. He should have never allowed an interview without a lawyer.
Perhaps he did not have a lawyer because of lack of financial resources or he is too trusting in the OIG or just from inexperience. In any event, sadly, even if he had a lawyer that’s not a certainty he’d be protected as there are a lot of bad lawyers out there. But, it’s better to cover your self with a lawyer present than not.
I believe there was serious ballot irregularities that occurred at the USPS across the country including Erie and I don’t believe the OIG was looking out for anybody but the USPS. I could be wrong. We’ll see if the OIG investigates and does a deep dive into ballot handling at that facility.
The just of what the whistleblower testified to in this recording justifies that deep dive.
Unfortunately the sloppiness of this initial affidavit creates inaccuracies that should have been avoided.
The professional (deep state) whistleblower that lit the fuse for the Ukraine impeachment trial was never interviewed and had no corroboration. Perhaps there should be a serious investigation of the numerous election violations and fraud?
You can leave the room to take a break, but you can’t talk to, text or email anyone else to tell them what is going on
WOW. Is he a prisoner? What have they charged him with?
Patronizing bastards. They treated this guy exactly the way the left thinks of Trump supporters. All this happy talk and unprofessional “chatting” came across like they think this guy is an idiot. They created doubt in his mind and definitely tried to scare him. I think they “deplored” him because they thought they were smarter than him.
This guy is one of the millions of Trump lovers out there and shouldn’t be subjected to this morally superior crap. This is the best we got in the USPS?

“When someone repeatedly states ‘“I’m going to be honest with you,”’ as Russell Strasser does in this interview, it is a key indicator the conversation is dishonestly being constructed. If someone is honest they do not need to qualify the standard. ”
This is spoken like a true literalist, but not like someone who knows anything about sociology, psychology, or communications. “Let me be honest with you” is most often an idiom that could be translated as “I want to be especially emphatic about what I’m about to say”.
