Hard Data: The Stories or the Truth?
Now you see it, now you don’t.
Now You See It, Now You Don’t
On the Aug. 23 episode of the "Prophets and Patriots" podcast, Phillips described how he, another FBI informant True the Vote's legal team identified in an Oct. 6 court hearing as "Mike Hasson" and an unnamed FBI informant met in a hotel room in Dallas and accessed Konnech's computer servers.
“We went and met at a hotel room, towels under the doors,” Phillips said, describing a “weird” Friday night meeting with his “guys” in Dallas. “They proceeded to show me everything. They showed me the database.”

When Pamphilis asked Phillips about previous claims that he and “his guys” had broken into Konnech’s data by guessing a simple password, Phillips said he had not personally accessed any information and did not know how the data Hasson showed him had been obtained. Asked if he was told about the existence of a password by someone else, Phillips said he didn’t remember.
“I don’t have recollection,” said Phillips.
Phillips said Hasson did not directly access any Konnech data that night in January 2021. Instead, Phillips said Hasson simply showed him files and screenshots that had been previously gathered. They could not have possibly downloaded the files — which Phillips said totaled “somewhere in the 350-terabyte range” — on hotel internet, Phillips said confidently.

2000 Mules: Lost in Space
The only problem is the AGO special agents involved in the investigation insist no hard drive has ever been provided by True The Vote, not in 2021 and not in response to several requests this year.
So when Cole Hughes, the executive director of True The Vote, wrote in a May 27, 2022 letter that a hard drive was also given to the FBI, Special Agent William Knuth asked the federal agency to share the data so Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s investigators could review it for any alleged violations of Arizona law.
But the FBI had nothing to turn over, public records show.
June 3, 2021 – Gregg Phillips of True The Vote meets in Phoenix with several of Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s special agents. He reportedly promises to turn over “data” the group claimed to possess about election fraud in Arizona.
March 28, 2022 – True The Vote files a complaint concerning “ballot trafficking” in Maricopa County and Yuma County during the 2020 General Election.
March 31, 2022 – Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True The Vote, sends an email to the AGO seeking to meet in early April in Phoenix as a follow-up to the June 2021 meeting. She notes her group “will be providing all raw data to the FBI Phoenix office and are meeting with them as well.”
April 5, 2022 – Engelbrecht meets with various AGO investigators in Phoenix. During the meeting the parties have “an extensive discussion” of a True The Vote report prepared for the Arizona Legislature. According to the AGO, the group’s officials promise again to share data about election fraud.
May 5, 2022 – One month after the meeting with Engelbrecht and with no data provided from True The Vote, AGO Special Agent Roger Geisler sends a status message through the group’s website.
May 6, 2022 – Engelbrecht responds via email that the group’s time “has been diverted to another project that consumed our entire team’s focus.” She assures Geisler that True The Vote will “wrap up everything we have and send to you next week.” The next week went by without anything provided by the group, as did the next week.
May 20, 2022 – AGO Supervising Special Agent James Cope writes to Engelbrecht. “We are still very much interested in the date you stated you would provide us during our meeting on April 5th, 2022,” he wrote. Cope provides information on how to deliver the data to his staff.
May 27, 2022 –True The Vote claims for the first time it gave AGO investigators a hard drive of Arizona elections data in June 2021 and that an “identical copy” was provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Arizona, Cope was told by Cole Hughes, True The Vote’s executive director. Hughes also noted Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips would be available June 1 “to provide additional information for your reference.”
May 31, 2022 – Engelbrecht and Phillips discuss their group’s methodology and findings with several Arizona lawmakers.
May 31, 2022 – Cope responds to Hughes, confirming the June 1 meeting. He also pushes back on any claim that the AGO received a hard drive from True The Vote in 2021 or since. Cope asks once again for “all of the information and data that you have compiled” so that the AGO’s investigation could continue.
June 1, 2022 – AGO Special Agent William Knuth write to the FBI- Phoenix Office after meeting early in the day with True The Vote officials. He requests the data which Engelbrecht and Phillips indicated has been provided to the FBI.
June 3, 2022 – Cope asks Phillips for “another meeting with you so we can obtain the information you developed related to election integrity in Arizona.” Taxpayers would even cover the cost of airfare and hotel, Cope promised.
June 16, 2022 – Copes tries once again to get Phillips to share the promised True The Vote data and reiterates that his travel costs would be covered by the State. He sends identical letters to Engelbretch and Hughes.

Closing
If it was me, and I had evidence of election fraud that would have prevented the use of Mules in the 2022 Election in Arizona, I would have walked a hard drive into their offices myself and handed it to the Inspector in Charge.
It is Gregg cavalier attitude that has made me question his commitment to Truth. As much money as those two are raking in, they could afford to send a hard drive every week FedEx until the AZ Attorney General’s office signed for it and their receipt of delivery came back. I would then post proof of delivery on my website as confirmation. Instead, it’s I sent it to the FBI, get it from them nonsense.
2000 Mules remains behind a paywall. Hardly indicative of folks trying to change our election system by getting out the word to as many folks as possible. More indicative of profiteering. But that’s just my perspective. I would have covered my cost then released it for free on Rumble & YouTube to raise public awareness in the widest possible audience, assuming I could confirm the data was accurate.
