"RECANTS" means he took back his claim.

That means it never happened.

1. BunkerBoy "heard" someone from Boston saying it.....

thought he heard "RECOUNT!"

[exboyfil]

2. He now has a video saying the recantation never happened

I think the IG needs to visit him again.


He is also claiming that the Washington Post never attempted to contact him prior to running the original story. I think they should have, and I think they probably did.

[soothsayer]

3. Yeah I saw that. GOP donors must have paid him again

It’s very sketchy

[mr_lebowski]

8. I'm not sure that they did, but I'm also not sure that they should have ...

Depends on the strength of their original source I'd say.

[Cartaphelius]

4. Nice that Trump knows all the "best"

words and has the Biggliest vocabulary so he
certainly knows that RECANTING means
putting the cork back into the bottle.

Idiot... Go now and do us all a HUGE favor!

[Johnny2X2X]

5. He really is that dumb

He's shown over and over again he's this much of an idiot.

[Celerity]

6. Krassenstein is (so unfortunately) the one who made a mistake, click on the link Rump tweeted

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/nov/10/richard-hopkins-erie-pennsylvania-postal-worker-de/


Pennsylvania postal worker denies recanting ballot-tampering claims

[soothsayer]

7. Well she's going off what he wrote

Which is the funny part. I like anything that makes him look stupid

[Celerity]

9. actually, what Trumped typed is correct, Tump typed 'Stays with the truth, his original story.'

The postal worker is sticking with his original story (that tampering occurred) and denies he recanted

Trump and the worker are lying scum, but in this case, Krassentein self-owned

[BeerBarrelPolka]

15. Exactly

You are correct.

[Celerity]

19. the Tweet preview of the article doesn't match what the article actually says, that is where

Krassenstein lost the plot, he probably never clicked on it


on the tweet it shows as if he is still (or originally) recanting



but when you actually go to the site that the link takes you to

it is the opposite, he is denying recanting (no idea why the tweet lede for the article is wrong)

[mr_lebowski]

21. Because Washington Times are idiots, that's why (nt)

[Celerity]

23. I can find nothing wrong with that assertion, lol

[mr_lebowski]

10. Sounds very Mike Flynn/George Papadopolous doesn't it?

This is always the wingnuts excuse in these scenarios ... the dang FEDS TRICKED ME waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.

Hey dude ... if you did NOT actually recant ... then how, exactly, were you 'played'?

Hmmmm?

[Celerity]

14. oh, yes, i have ZERO doubt the postal worker is lying about everything

he made it all up

then got scared and recanted

and now was threatened or paid off to take back the recant

[Captain Zero]

18. Hopkins has a loose an association with truthfulness like his Orange Mentor.

My guess is Hopkins is mental. Seems to be erratic. Delusional. Easily influenced. We could probably come up with more symptoms from someone who knows him closely. Has he been fired from the post office yet?

[Celerity]

20. no idea if he's sacked yet, the whole thing was a lie from the start, as is his denying he recanted

the original lie

Trump is tilting at windmills

[Jim__]

11. Project Veritas.

From the Washington Times story:

Project Veritas chief legal counsel Jered Ede accused the investigators of coercing Mr. Hopkins into signing an affidavit recanting his claims; failing to give him access to his attorney, and refusing to provide him with a copy of the signed document.

Project Veritas has as much credibility as Trump.

[malaise]

12. Mr Hopkins is clearly willing to go to prison for these fools

Ah well

[mr_lebowski]

13. So he's signed an affidavit recanting his claims ...

But now he's saying he never recanted his claims.

Also why would one need an attorney present just to report a crime. If my house was robbed I would call the cops and report it, I wouldn't even think 'I better get my attorney down here to be around when I report it'.

As we learn over and over, you can't fix stupid.

[Demsrule86]

16. Trump is so stupid he doesn't know what recant means.

[Celerity]

22. no, that was a mistake by Krassenstein, I explained it all above (Trump and the postal worker are

still both lying though)

17. The rat sees he is in a no win situation.

He will lose his job, possible prosecution, and he apparently owes a tidy sum in child support. His go fund me is frozen. Has a history of work issues as well. And his story is inconsistent from various accts. POS.
