Well well well. Looks like Project Veritas
1) Drafted the initial affidavit by postal worker Richard Hopkins (claiming without proof that USPS higher-ups told him to tamper with ballots)
2) Lied about Hopkins being coerced (WaPo linked to Project Veritas' own audio recording).
3) Said would release a 3-hour recording, but released a 2-hour recording. Hmmmm.
Here's Project Veritas' own-goal audio:
During the recorded interview, however, federal agents repeatedly reminded Hopkins that his cooperation was voluntary, and Hopkins agreed to sign a document stating that he was not coerced.
Asked by an agent whether he had legal representation, Hopkins said Project Veritas had a lawyer on retention “in case there’s anything that happens.” The agent told Hopkins that if he had a personal lawyer, “I would make whatever efforts possible to have that person here.” Hopkins said he didn’t have a lawyer.
None of that discredits the story.
He has already called the WaPo's spin BS. He stands by his initial video statement. This has been debunked.
