Project Veritas could face legal liability for postal worker's ballot fraud allegations, experts say

(Salon) APennsylvania postal worker who initially alleged that a postmaster had tampered with mail ballots — an accusation embraced by Republicans as evidence of an unfair election — told federal investigators in a recorded interview that his sworn affidavit had been written by Project Veritas, and that he could no longer stand by his statement.

After congressional investigators said on Tuesday that the postal worker, Richard Hopkins, had "completely" recanted his allegation, Project Veritas posted a video of Hopkins denying that he had done so.

"I'm here to say I did not recant my statements," Hopkins said in the video. "That did not happen."

The audio recording, which Hopkins himself made secretly and Salon has reviewed, does not indicate that, however. Hopkins repeatedly disavows any first-hand knowledge of misconduct by the postmaster, saying instead that his allegation was largely an assumption, drawn from pieces of a conversation he overheard amid the noise of a mail processing facility. ......(more)

3. This is how RWers win all arguments in the eyes of fellow RWers.

The great majority of them have no concpt of reason-based argument. They just need to present something they pretend supports their argument, no matter how false, weak or illogical & claim they won.

If forced to actually debate issues subject to objective evaluation of the arguments, RWers would not win a single one.

4. Instead of "could", change it to "should".

They've used up all their "Get out if jail" cards.
