In yet another of the Left’s increasingly brazen miscarriages of justice, Monday, November 7 will mark a week since the leaders of True the Vote, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, were imprisoned in Houston for refusing to disclose the identity of an FBI informant. But as is always the case with the Left, there is much more to this case than that: the imprisonment of Engelbrecht and Phillips is part of the Left’s efforts to cover up its own election crimes. Engelbrecht and Phillips are deeply committed patriots; the Freedom Center was privileged to help Catherine Engelbrecht launch True the Vote in its first promotional video, which was filmed in David Horowitz’s living room with David as its endorser.
These are heroic individuals on the frontline of the battle for American democracy, and now that they’re directly in the Left’s crosshairs, they should be supported by every patriot.
Engelbrecht and Phillips have maintained, quite rightly, that whenever they have acceded to demands to reveal their sources in the past, the Left has doxed and harassed those sources. It’s also quite clear that this legal harassment that Engelbrecht and Phillips are experiencing right now is designed to distract attention from and obscure what they’ve discovered about severe vulnerabilities in our elections process. Once again, Leftists are covering up their own misdeeds.
The Texas Tribune reported last Monday that Engelbrecht and Phillips will “remain in jail until they release the name of the man.” They’re bearing up well: on Wednesday, according to Gateway Pundit, “Catherine delivered an audiotaped message from prison to thank all of her and Gregg’s supporters for their ‘prayers and kind messages of support.’ Engelbrecht announced that they are appealing their cases to the Fifth Circuit Court and are praying for a good result. She also asked that Americans remain focused on the upcoming election and encourage everyone they know to vote. She ended her message by saying, ‘God bless America. And I’ll see you soon…’”
We hope so. They’re in prison now as the result of what they discovered about the 2020 election, and their release would be a small measure of justice amid the monstrous wrongs that were committed during that election and are still being committed today. The Texas Tribune notes that Konnech, an “election management software company,” filed suit True the Vote, claiming that its allegations against Konnech’s founder and CEO, Eugene Yu, “led to personal threats to him and his family and damaged his company’s business.” This is a familiar Leftist tactic: when exposed or even simply criticized, claim that the negative coverage has exposed you to threats of violence from the unhinged “right-wing extremists” that loom so large in Leftist propaganda but are so hard to find in real life.
What’s really going on is an attempt to cover up what Engelbrecht and Phillips have discovered. “In podcasts and interviews,” the Tribune reports, “Phillips described a dramatic night in early 2021 in a Dallas hotel, where a man he later identified as Mike Hasson revealed what True the Vote has said was hard evidence of Konnech’s alleged influence on the 2020 election.” True the Vote found evidence that Konnech “had stored American poll worker data on a server in China.”
Meanwhile, the charges that True the Vote have made against Konnech have been demonstrated to be accurate by an unlikely source: the Los Angeles district attorney’s office. Eugene Yu “is facing felony charges of grand theft by embezzlement and conspiracy to commit a crime. The Los Angeles district attorney’s office said Yu and Konnech violated the company’s contract with Los Angeles County by illegally giving contractors in China access to data that was supposed to be stored only in the United States. Yu has filed a motion to dismiss the charges, arguing that even if the charges are true, they aren’t criminal. Los Angeles prosecutors have acknowledged receiving an early tip from Phillips.”
So True the Vote uncovered evidence that China had access to American elections data. That’s the real reason why they’re in prison today, and why it is such an immense injustice that they are. Just as Leftists have woven an elaborate fantasy of a January 6 “insurrection” in an attempt to defame, discredit and destroy Donald Trump and his supporters, so also they’re doing everything they possibly can to keep the full truth about their chicanery in the 2020 election from coming out. One supporter of Engelbrecht and Phillips summed it up succinctly: “This is what tyranny looks like.”
Yes, it is. And it must not stand. Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips must be freed immediately, without being required to disclose the name of their confidential informant. The American people are watching Joe Biden’s Justice Department closely, and more and more people are realizing that there is a two-tier justice system: one to protect Leftists such as Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton, no matter how serious their crimes may be, and another to persecute patriots who still believe in the promise our free republic offers. Attorney General Garland: End this injustice now. Free True the Vote.

Trump conned us all. He ran from a stolen election and helped Big Pharma in killing us via the jab. What am I missing here? I’d rather live under the dems then be dead.
Greg says
I’m guessing “Give me liberty or give me death” would have no meaning to fat boyz.
Also pointing out that the “vaccine” came out after the 2020 election and Trump had little to do with it’s subsequent deployment would be a wasted point.
However, preferring to live under the dems would ignore Trump’s many accomplishments. Two of the most important were:
1. Defense of American patriotism, save our culture, be proud of our founding and history, eliminate anti-America bias in our schools (1619 Project, Critical Race Theory, etc.), eliminate gender fluidity in our schools, and oppose identity politics that pits every group against the others.
2. Enable prosperity for everybody through tax cuts and regulation reform.
a. Largest wage increases for Blacks, Hispanics, single women, the disabled and those with criminal records
b. Wage increases higher for poor and middle class than the rich
c. The once-disappearing middle class started prospering after years of decline
d. Reducing income inequality from its peak during Obama’s administration
e. Lowest unemployment for minorities in history
f. Lowest poverty rate in US history
g. Dramatic increase in Gross Domestic Product – lifting all boats
h. Increased tax revenues due to more tax payers and higher incomes
But the point of this article is the weaponization of the DoJ and the Intel community. That started under Obama (IRS) and was perfected under Biden. This is a national tragedy, abetted by the media.
David Ray says
Excellent post.
I’ll add that he moved our embassy to Jerusalem while democrats howled of the guaranteed violence that would result . . . except it didn’t.
He also removed idiotic rules requiring useless bureaocrats to approve alternative medical treatments.
My mom survived abdominal cancer after being diagnosed terminal. She found a doctor willing to employ experimental surgery.
The time wasted getting some government prick to sign-off on it, almost put her in the grave. (She registered as a Republican not long after.)
Fred says
He may have reduced income taxes, but Trump did not reduce the national debt. He did not accomplish enacting a new immigration system when the Republicans were in charge of the Senate and the House. He did not withdraw from NATO. He should have fired Dr. Fauci when he was President. He did not handle the Covid problem very well. He did not stop students from China from studying at American universities. He did not stop Asian tourist anchor babies’ racket. As for reducing the poverty rate, I would like to see the statistics for that item.
I like to let it be known that I’m not a Democrat supporter as well. They made even more mistakes.
Lobo says
You have “missed a lot”.. Self medicated on democrat lies, and if you “live UNDER democrats, you have a much larger chance of “being dead”… It was the democrats that “helped” big Pharma, and the democrats that shut everything down.. It’s amazing at the stupidity festering under the democrat base.
Fred says
I am fully aware of what the Democratic and Republican Party has done to America. Both political parties very rarely have acted in America’s best interest. I am aware of corruption that exist in numerous corporations and Wall Street as well. I have not missed very much. I have a lot of books and printed articles dealing with history, political, economic, financial, and social issues. As for having a larger chance of being dead under Democrats, that will not happen. I do my research to prevent that.
Have a nice evening.
Will says
Sure! So you prefer Biden? You know what you can do don’t you?
I have been recently running into a lot of fake conservatives just like you saying the same thing on conservative websites. Running scared, are we?

Hey Fat Boy….the article isn’t about Trump. But I’m so glad he lives rent free in your fat head.

You are clearly suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome but I predicted that the leftist elites would gradually turn the rhetoric around to blame Trump for the mRNA injection death tolls.
Thanks for showing the world what you are all doing.

“Live under the dems and then be dead.”
That about sums it up.

Why dont you go and live in China under the CCP?
They lock down and starve people at random there. PS You will have to change your name. Nobody is fat there!!

Don’t know that Trump “conned” us, but he definitely failed with respect to Covid-19.
1. He didn’t demand that therapeutics that worked in up-state NY be allowed use elsewhere. HCQ, vitamins C & D, zinc work against the virus, as does Ivermectin. See FLCCC.
2. Although Operation Warp Speed was a success with respect to getting a “vaccine” into the market, it’s not really a vaccine and the side effects are too dangerous.
In short, Trump punted to Fauci and the media puppets and it cost lives and more. All the good that he did was fleeting and easily destroyed by Biden and the Democrats.
Cat says
idiotic comment.
He was a wartime president just like in WWII he got factories to retool swiftly to create extraordinarily complex medical equipment to try to save lives. What a feat! But then you are too poorly informed to even know about what is needed for critically ill patients. He had the Javitz center readied but killer Cuomo did not utilize it much. And the medical ship was available and also not utilized. Cuomo hid medical equipment in a warehouse in New Jersey. But you forgot all about that.
President Trump did an amazing superhuman job with what probably was a bioweapon. Deadly in NY, even though social media tells duped losers otherwise.
Regarding the vaccine obsession. The quickly made vaccines were not created by the president. He may have hoped they would work and help as we all did in NY.
Thats not what happened but that story has not been told with any accuracy.
But I am sure you know better than this accomplished business man and leader.

You want to live under the dems ? Spoken like a true cowardly cuck.

RED ACTIVIST HAMMERS COMRADE
For Kathy, friend, mentor and wife. Stupor Mundi.
Copyright ©2022 A. J. Reffes. All rights reserved. Published by Progress Publishers, Berlin, Germany.
One of the most utilized tools of man, the hammer has had a storied history filled with images of good and evil. The Norse god Thor, symbol of thunder and lightning, wields a hammer, as does the Greek hero Hercules. The hammer appears in the greatest symbol of evil ever created by man. Emblazoned on the flags and insignia of the international communist movement and conspiracy, the hammer and sickle represents proletarian solidarity and its global war against freedom. Adopted during the Russian Revolution of 1917, the hammer and sickle has inspired red activists for over a century and expressed their rage against the world like no other symbol. On October 28, 2022, a walking embodiment of this rage gazed at the hammer in his beloved red flag and printed it out in three dimensional existence. He grasped this hammer with his hand and raised it high up in the air. He made it come down on a fellow partisan who in his feverish eyes was not communist enough and had betrayed the holy cause. On October 28, 2022, David Depape entered the home of Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of
William Ripskull says
I think you missed the part about you being an uninformed idiot. Trump didn’t make a mandate that required you to get the jab or lose everything you’ve worked for in your life. He also isn’t the one who locked down society for two years, destroying tens of thousands of businesses. That would be your Democrats who wanted to tell us everything we could and couldn’t AND had to do for two years. It was your Democrats that brought us the virus, intentionally used it to destroyed our economy and to steal power. Life was good under Trump and it sucks under Biden. It’s that simple. You know it, I know it, and you’re about to find out that America now knows it.
Alma says
Is this a new precident – that people (like journalists) who refuse to reveal their sources end up in jail? If so, than all the masterminds, enablers and facilitators of all the coup attempts on Trump should likewise be in jail for not revealing their sources, whether real or fake.
Intrepid says
It’s actually not that new. Judith Miller jailed during the Obama admin for not revealing her sources.
This is how totalitarians roll.
Elsie says
Was that in a civil or a criminal case?
Intrepid says
All I could find: “On October 1, 2004, federal Judge Thomas F. Hogan found Miller in civil contempt of court for refusing to appear before a federal grand jury,”
Edith Elken says
Why on earth would they give any of their information to the provably untrustworthy, treacherous FBI? I feel badly for them, but turning over what they discovered about election cheating wasn’t the smartest move.
Kasandra says
I’ve read an article elsewhere that said Engelbrecht and Phillips had gone to the FBI field office and had a great working relationship with them. Then, the field office bucked the case up to D.C. headquarters and things changed completely. The FBI bacame very uncooperative and they were even warned that they could be investigated, for what I have no idea.
Fujumaki says
Time to investigate the FBI. Time to imprison them for not giving their sources for the Trump residence raid. Time to disband this cesspool of thuggery and TREASONOUS acts, and let the bad actors get a just punishment.
Johnny Appleseed says
COVID-19 deaths are far higher among middle aged and older unvaccinated Americans, and far lower among the vaccinated. Big Pharma is guilty of many things, but not guilty of “killing us via the jab.”

How much have they paid you to post that CDC lie?
Don Davenport says
That’s good to know. Please set an example and remember to get your booster and booster to booster the booster and then don’t forget in three months to get another booster to boost the booster and booster booster. You are an honorable, caring and concerned citizen. 👏
David Ray says
This is nothing new.
Catherine Engelbrecht has had to put up with harassment & legal misconduct from the start.
The FBI was sent to screw with them, then OSHA showed up to cause trouble with her husband’s business. The IRS suddenly decided it’d be fun to audit the family business.
(I remember when liberals expressed horror over Nixon trying to get the IRS to audit a political enemy. Nixon was audited instead.)
Then Jug-eared Barry sicced the IRS via leftist bitch Lois Lerner to send threatening questionnaires to every patriot they could find & demanding donors be named, the Engelbrechts included.
Leftist democrats commit fraud in every election. They rig every angle to tip the scales in every election. The corrupt overlords brook no exposure.
Transparency isn’t tolerated, as it hinders their criminal activity. (Hence, Hillary has worn out several shredders, and delete keys.)
Elsie says
Englebrecht and Phillips have been ordered released by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Mo de Profit says
That is good news, will they release the other political prisoners held in solitary confinement for over two years without trial?
Kasandra says
I just heard on the radio that the Fifth Circuit has over-ruled the District Court and ordered them released from custody.
Vincent Meijer says
Sincerely hope that Engelbrecht or Shining Angel – what her name means in Dutch – and friend, don’t happen to commit suicide in jail. You never know with the likes of Khillary.
Apostle Paul says
For any Christians reading here, when considering your relationship to “the Government” you may do well to study how Daniel, Joseph, and Jesus handled their relationships with the ruling authorities.

Neither Daniel, Joseph, nor Jesus were Christian.
