USPS Worker Being Investigated for Trashing Mail Is Apparently a QAnon Follower

The Pittsburgh-area postal worker shared memes criticizing mainstream media for not taking QAnon’s claims more seriously.

A postal delivery worker being investigated by the federal government for allegedly throwing away bags of undelivered mail in Pittsburgh is also a believer in the QAnon conspiracy, according to newly discovered Facebook posts.
Sean Troesch, whose neighbors suspected he’d been discarding bags of mail for weeks, has shared several memes about QAnon, the disproven conspiracy theory about a massive secret pedophile ring and sex-trafficking enterprise organized by Hollywood elites and Democrats. The apparent screenshots of Troesch’s social media posts, shared with the Pittsburgh City Paper by an anonymous source Tuesday, include criticisms of the media for not investigating QAnon’s claims (despite several outlets debunking QAnon), anti-mask memes, and accusations against celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Chrissy Teigen for their involvement in the fabricated claims.
The associated profile has since been taken down from Facebook.
On Sunday night, agents with the United States Postal Service Inspector General’s office raided Troesch’s home in Baldwin, Pennsylvania, after receiving a tip about the man throwing away suspicious garbage bags. Agents found at least eight bags of undelivered mail on his curb for garbage pickup the next morning, according to KDKA.
“Special Agents recovered several different classes of mail, including business mail, flats, and a small amount of first-class mail,” the inspector general’s office said Monday. “We expect to perform a piece count of the mail tomorrow, and make arrangements to have the mail delivered to customers as soon as feasible.”
Despite the office’s eagerness to return mail to its recipients, neighbors told KDKA that Troesch may have been throwing out mail for a while, and even shared a photo of similar bags sitting curbside on trash-pickup night two weeks ago.
The Inspector General’s office said that Troesch is no longer working or being paid by the USPS and said that it will report its findings to the U.S. Attorney General’s office for a federal investigation.

The "Q" in QAnon stands for "Qaeda".

QAnon is really just Al-Qaeda in America. Osama Bin Laden's niece and heir apparent, Noor Bin Laden, has been running it from a secret base in Switzerland where she launders the terrorists' money.

Don't believe me? Prove me wrong.

You want me to believe some cockamamie spiel like that?

You're gonna have to put on a suit and draw it up on a whiteboard in front of a camera, with spittle flying from your mouth as you rant. Then I'm your gal.

That's not a lot, considering there are over 3000 county election boards in the US. It's also important to consider who's trying to discredit the process. It's not Democrats.

Nope its not alot. Which goes back to...election fraud really doesnt exist.
 
Being investigated for a crime does not automatically mean you are guilty. Unless you're in P&N then it's an automatic death sentence.
Am I right GUYS??

Yes, that is the standard for legal guilt. But we're not a jury. We're more interested in factual guilt. In that regard:

Unless that is all somehow a lie, he looks guilty to me. And likely to be legally guilty once the process plays out.

You don't know legal guilt because this man has not been tried in a court of law. All you have is your news stories and Twitter feeds. You are right in one regard though. You are NOT a jury.

So you've never expressed an opinion about whether someone is likely guilty or innocent based on publicly known facts?

Sure you haven't.

Since this is a discussion forum, we'll express our opinions. If you don't have one, it isn't clear why you're posting in the thread.

I don't know exactly what everyone has said or how they've worded it, but voter fraud in this country is statistically irrelevant to election outcomes.

It seems you are concerned about someone saying "election fraud doesn't exist" instead of "election fraud barely exists" but unconcerned that a political party has made repeated false claims about substantial election fraud and passed numerous laws which have the affect of depressing voter turnout based on that false accusation. While meanwhile, we have a POTUS who is already claiming an election will be "rigged" against him based on zero evidence.

Which is more important?

He's another "bothsidesbitch" so severity and importance don't factor into his thinking. Having discussions with intellectually lazy people is pointless because they don't know anything about anything and they don't want to know anything about anything. They wallow in their own ignorance.

Yes and this perfectly illustrates the bothsiderism fallacy. One side exaggerates a little in a way that has no real world meaning, while another tells a grotesque lie which threatens to undermine democracy. Both sides are the same! Just like Obama telling one lie is the same as Trump telling 20,000.

Publicly know facts are irrelevant and so is public opinion. Honestly they are one in the same or are you to ignorant to realize that? This man will have his day in court regardless of the opinions expressed here or on the news or on Twitter.

Voter Fraud and Election Fraud are not the same thing. Hence the different adjective in front of the word Fraud.

Voter Fraud is where a voter commits fraud to add one entire vote by voting either more than once, or at all when not allowed.

Voter Fraud doesn't exist in any amount that has affected anything in any way, and is the type of "fraud" Republicans are very, very concerned about. Mostly because they're concerned that the wrong people are voting at all. And it isn't that big of a deal because extra votes are almost always caught. Just ask the Republicans who were very concerned about it and after studying it for decades, found that it is irrelevant.

Election Fraud is where election officials or state officials do illegal things to change multiple vote counts, or to add/subtract many votes, throwing the entire election off.

Election Fraud happens because it's much easier, and makes much more sense, to throw an election by corrupting the actual process than by trying to vote multiple times and getting caught and convicted of a felony, as happens with voter fraaud. Election Fraud is also how Republicans continually corrupt elections...just ask Leslie Dowless. You may remember the shenanigans in North Carolina that required AN ENTIRE NEW ELECTION. Republicans don't care about this method because it's actually their preferred method of handling elections. If you want a more recent example, take a look at the "THROW YOUR VOTE INTO THIS OFFICIAL BALLOT BOX" issue in California.

VOTER FRAUD requires a VOTER to attempt to try to corrupt an election by adding one vote to the total. Almost every single time this rare activity actually happens, it is caught by the people counting the votes, and there is no corruption of the election.

ELECTION FRAUD requires that key people behind the scenes do a little of this and a little of that to corrupt the entire election's results because NONE of the votes can be counted on to be accurate. This only gets caught when the people doing it fuck up, and if they've set out to do what they wanted to do, you can't just rely on any results, because they are inherently wrong.

Do you actually think that saying essentially the same thing three times now is somehow clever? As if we don't realize that we aren't the actual jury, or that water is wet.

Anyone can have an opinion on guilt, or a prediction of legal outcome. Just like anyone can have an opinion about the outcome of a future election. In both cases, of course, the actual outcome will be decided by a jury or the voters. I'm pretty sure there is no confusion on any of that.

You have any more 4th grade civics lessons you want to regale us with?
