Mess With the Bull

Leaders of the anti-voting terrorist group True the Vote have been jailed for refusing to state who allowed them to have illegal access to voting machines.

They are claiming that some sort of sooper sekrit FBI agent did that, and so they can't tell the judge.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt is not buying their bullsh%$:

The leaders of True the Vote, an organization that has spread unfounded claims questioning the results of the 2020 election, were taken into custody Monday morning after a federal judge in Texas ruled them in contempt of court.

Founder Catherine Engelbrecht and former board member Gregg Phillips were escorted by federal marshals out of a Houston courthouse and into a holding cell following the judge’s decision.

The order marked the latest twist in a defamation case brought last month by Konnech, an election software company that True the Vote claimed allowed the Chinese government to have access to a server in China that held the personal information of nearly 2 million U.S. election workers. Konnech has vigorously disputed the claim.

The judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt, had ordered Engelbrecht and Phillips to reveal the name of a person who allegedly helped True the Vote access Konnech’s computer systems.

When they declined to meet the court’s 9 a.m. deadline, the judge found them in contempt. The pair have claimed, without evidence, that the person who helped them was a confidential FBI informant.

It should be noted that even if this person was an FBI informant, if they had not outed this individual, it would not have compromised them.

They are, of course, lying about this.

Here is the postscript to this whole clown show:

Engelbrecht and Phillips most recently were executive producers of “2,000 Mules,” a widely discredited film purporting to show countless people casting illegal votes by mail based on surveillance video and geotracking data. Though spokespeople for the movie said it made millions of dollars in revenue, no fraud was ever found. 

These people are con men and liars, and they have actively supported violence and terrorism against election officials, which has, among other things, assault with a deadly weapon against a random air conditioner technician.

These people are a clear and present danger, and they should be pursued to the fullest extant of the RICO and anti-terrorism laws.
