" Engelbrecht’s and Phillips’ portrayal of themselves as “true patriots,” willing to fight the good fight to expose election corruption, appeared valid Monday morning.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt ordered them detained by U.S. marshals for contempt until they comply with a temporary restraining order.
Konnech, a small Michigan-based purveyor of election logistics software, sued True the Vote, Phillips and Engelbrecht on Sept. 13.
Hoyt, a Ronald Reagan appointee, held the duo in contempt for being evasive about a January 2021 meeting at a Dallas hotel room, where Phillips testified a man named Mike Hasson plugged a laptop into the hotel TV and brought up the personal information of 1.8 million U.S. poll workers purportedly stored by Konnech on a server in China.
The judge issued the TRO early in the litigation, directing Phillips and Engelbrecht to identify each person involved in taking Konnech’s data.
At a hearing last Thursday, Phillips testified that there was another man in the hotel room but he could not name him because he is an FBI confidential informant who works with cartels at the U.S.-Mexico border and revealing him would put him in mortal danger.
Both Phillips and Engelbrecht, whose two bodyguards accompany them to court, testified they constantly receive threats. Engelbrecht said every associate they divulge gets “doxxed and harassed.”
And in an Oct. 12 text message transcript filed Friday by True the Vote’s defense team, Engelbrecht wrote, “There is the possibility that I’ve been poisoned. Toxicology reports are being reviewed now.”
Unsympathetic, Hoyt gave them until Monday at 9 a.m. to name the third person in the hotel room."
----------------
"After Hoyt ordered Phillips and Engelbrecht detained, they quietly followed a U.S. marshal with a silver star badge hung around his neck out of a side door."
