James O’Keefe has just released audio of USPS whistleblower Richard Hopkins being interviewed by a federal agent who was admittedly putting pressure on him, trying to twist him:
RECORDING: Federal agents “coerce” USPS whistleblower Hopkins to water down story. Hopkins doubles down…
Agent Strasser: “I am trying to twist you a little bit”
“I am scaring you here”…” we have Senators involved…DOJ involved…reason they called me is to try to harness.” pic.twitter.com/tK2JPu6Wqm

In the audio, we hear the federal agent saying he was intentionally putting pressure on Hopkins, trying to twist him for the purposes of making his mind more clear so that he might remember differently what he thought he heard in the first place about his supervisor and postmaster discussing the backdating of ballots.
O’Keefe is also interviewing Hopkins in the video, who says he absolutely does not recant his testimony and that he believed the federal agents were trying to get him to turn on Project Veritas.
Just a few minutes before this video released, O’Keefe released another video of Hopkins by himself calling on the Washington Post to recant a story they wrote trying to discredit him by saying he recanted his testimony. O’Keefe has since deleted that video, so I can’t show it to you. But here’s what Hopkins was talking about in that video:
WaPo’s @ShawnBoburg and @jacobbogage rely upon ANONYMOUS SOURCES, who “spoke on condition of anonymity”
We’re about to release hours of recordings of federal agents who admit to “coercing” him.
Hopkins requested info about what agents made him sign, he’s legally entitled to it! pic.twitter.com/o47IvOToN2

In 15 mins USPS Hopkins to release recordings of fed agents coercing him & violating his rights.
He tried contact WaPo reporters @ShawnBoburg and @jacobbogage to include his statement that HE DID NOT RECANT
They refuse to even talk to him or include his comment. Tapes imminent!
