'2000 Mules' investigator jailed for refusing to disclose confidential sourceTrue the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht – who was jailed with colleague Gregg Phillips for refusing to disclose a confidential source in a probe of alleged foreign interference in U.S. elections – says she was put in solitary confinement for four days in a cinder block cell, with a light always on and a "glass partition" allowing her to be watched while she showered and used the bathroom.
Engelbrecht and Phillips were ordered jailed without bond in Houston, Texas, by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt. The two were released one week later after a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals overruled the order.
"It was a very eye-opening experience, how prisoners are treated," Engelbrecht said in an interview with Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft.
Hoyt, in a defamation case against them, had ruled the two in contempt of court for refusing to name a confidential source who was at a meeting in which they said they received evidence a Michigan-based, election software company, Konnech, was improperly storing the personal data of U.S. poll workers on servers in China. The defamation case was filed in September by the CEO of Michigan-based Konnech, Eugene Yu, who charged that 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. 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." Shortly after Phillips and Engelbrecht were released, the controversial Soros-financed L.A. district attorney, George Gascón, dropped the felony charges against Yu, saying the office was concerned about both the pace of the investigation and "the potential bias in the presentation and investigation of the evidence."
The statement said the D.A.'s office hasn't ruled out refiling the charges after reviewing the evidence, however, saying it would "assemble a new team, with significant cyber security experience to determine whether any criminal activity occurred."
After her release Nov. 7, Engelbrecht said that what is publicly known about Konnech "is just the tip of the iceberg."
"Please stay connected. We're all in this together," she said. "Hold the line. Keep the faith. God is good."
