Judge Jails ‘2000 Mules’ Investigators Catherine Engelbrecht, Gregg Phillips

"U.S. Marshals in Houston, Texas, on Monday arrested True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht and board member Gregg Phillips for contempt of court in a defamation case against them after they refused a federal judge’s order to release the name of a confidential source.

The civil lawsuit was filed in September by Eugene Yu, the CEO of the Michigan-based, election software company Konnech. Yu alleges True the Vote made baseless and racist accusations that forced him and his family to flee their home in fear for their lives and damaged his company’s business.

At the center of Yu’s complaint is True the Vote’s claim that Konnech was storing U.S. election information on serves in China through its software app PollChief, posing a national security risk. However, only weeks after the defamation suit was filed, Yu was arrested and charged by Los Angeles County prosecutors for allegedly storing election worker data on servers in China. The prosecutors called it “probably the largest data breach in United States history.”

In the criminal case against Yu by Los Angeles County prosecutors, the complaint cites as evidence a message from a Konnech project manager through a Chinese-owned messaging app that said “any employee for Chinese contractors working on PollChief software had ‘superadministration’ privileges for all PollChief clients.”

Sam Faddis, former CIA officer, put that statement in perspective in a Substack post: “An individual with super administration access to a system can do effectively anything inside that system. He or she can delete data, steal data, alter data, change programming, etc.”

Yu’s arrest, Oct. 4, came one day after the New York Times published a story mocking True the Vote as “election deniers” for claiming Konnech was storing personal information about poll workers on servers in China, posing a serious security risk."

The mostest perfectest elektion in the history of elektions
All because they refused to reveal an FBI confidential source. You can see the stakes involved here. Not only has TTV provided the input for 2000 Mules, they've now shown that China was involved in the 2020 election.
TTV resources easily found the server in China with the PII of 1.8 million election workers, along with names of their family members. The server was unsecured and easily accessed using "password" as the password. This may only be the tip of the iceberg.
The news stations that ran the story of roe/wade leak… from a SCOTUS leaker.
have not been jailed or even questioned, for not releasing the name of their source.
… just for perspective..

and every time they (Catherine + Phillip) give Bronovich any info of sources. Magically they are doxxed and harassed with hrs of giving Bronovich said info…
They’re hero’s in hard times

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Yep. Biggest leak in Supreme Court history; surely, only a tiny group of people had access to the ruling, but it's been several months and zip, zero, nada as far as a suspect, or arrest. It's quite simple: If you are working for Democrat Party interests, you simply have nothing to fear as far as prosecution.
@graphite they’ve both said it’s pointless for their source to stay silent.. the Chinese guy was arrested for literally storing data in china.. he’s been verified as a good source.. obviously
but since he’s a coward and they have integrity.. it’s a price they’re willing to pay I guess..

Yes indeed. "True the Vote" made serious accusations about a Michigan company called Konnech. and couldn't - or refused to - substantiate them.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt (Reagan appointee) demanded evidence for their public claims from "True the Vote." In the end, two officers of "True the Vote," founder, Catherine Engelbrecht & board member Gregg Phillips, were jailed after being found in contempt of court.

In podcasts and elsewhere, True the Vote has repeatedly claimed that it directed “analysts” to hack Konnech’s servers, which the group claims were in China and thus proof of the company’s work on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. After Konnech sued True the Vote last month for defamation, Hoyt ordered True the Vote to turn over any Konnech data the organization still had and disclose the name of the individual who’d helped them obtain it.

The contentious tone in the courtroom demonstrated the precarious position the lawsuit has put True the Vote in. The group has spearheaded the spread of voter fraud conspiracy theories in Texas and beyond for years — most recently by producing the debunked voter-fraud documentary “2000 Mules” — and has faced very little accountability for it. Now True the Vote is trying to maintain its conspiratorial claims about Konnech while also denying accusations that it illegally hacked data or misled the public about the company and its CEO.

"True the Vote" did not substantiate their widely publicized claims of obtaining "hacked data" from China.

Engelbrecht and Phillips have previously claimed that they and their analysts hacked a server and gained access to Konnech’s data and that the information on the server corroborated their unproven claims of election fraud. True the Vote has not offered any evidence that they successfully hacked Konnech, or that Konnech was involved in any election fraud.

The court order, in part, required True the Vote’s leaders to hand over the allegedly hacked documents, identify the people involved in the alleged hack, and confidentially tell Konnech how they hacked their system. Englebrecht and Phillips were jailed after they failed to comply with those parts, by the judge’s Monday morning deadline.

And then there are the financial "irregularities" that enriched officers of "True the Vote."

On Monday, the nonprofit watchdog group Campaign for Accountability called for an investigation into True the Vote, which has made repeated false claims about voter fraud in elections. The complaint said True the Vote may have violated state and federal law when the charity used donations to issue loans to Engelbrecht, its founder, and lucrative contracts to Gregg Phillips, a longtime director. The organization also failed to disclose the payments to insiders in its tax returns, including excessive legal bills paid to its general counsel at the time, who filed election-related lawsuits in four states, the complaint said.

On the strength of claims made by "True the Vote," Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was charged in California with illegally sending data about poll workers to China. When "True the Vote" failed to substantiate those claims, all charges were dropped.

Yes, well, that tends to happen when one makes public claims about things that did not happen.
