"RECANTS" means he took back his claim.
That means it never happened.

(17,862 posts)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.

(33,643 posts)Depends on the strength of their original source I'd say.

(868 posts)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!

Pennsylvania postal worker denies recanting ballot-tampering claims
soothsayer
(38,601 posts)Which is the funny part. I like anything that makes him look stupid
Celerity
(43,107 posts)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
(1,202 posts)You are correct.
Celerity
(43,107 posts)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)

(33,643 posts)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
(43,107 posts)he made it all up
then got scared and recanted
and now was threatened or paid off to take back the recant

(6,783 posts)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?

Trump is tilting at windmills

Project Veritas has as much credibility as Trump.

(268,697 posts)Ah well
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)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.

(4,372 posts)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.
