“Catherine Engelbrecht: The Genius Behind 2000 Mules”
From Donna Garner
[COMMENTS FROM DONNA GARNER: Every American needs to see Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules.” He and his wife did a fantastic job in headlining this thoroughly well-documented film. No one can doubt any longer that the 2020 elections were rigged and that the winner is indeed an illegitimate President.
What the public needs to know, however, is the story behind Catherine Engelbrecht who is an unsung heroine in her own right.
Those of us involved in the early Tea Party movement remember Catherine; and we also remember Obama and his evil empire.
Below is a story written by Michael Gaynor, a well-credentialed lawyer in New York. I have excerpted various portions, but the entire article bears reading.]

“The Catherine Engelbrecht story is the key to the IRS scandal”

Excerpts from this article:
Who but the White House could coordinate the IRS, OSHA, BATF and FBI?
All scandals are not equally perilous to President Obama.
Benghazigate, the Obamacare rollout and the Veterans' Administration horror involved managerial incompetence, not necessarily malice or vindictiveness.
The apparent targeting of Catherine Engelbrecht by multiple federal seems to have been malicious and vindictive as well as political.
…
The House of Representatives is still trying to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal, but unless that scandal is traced to the White House, President Obama simply will explain it away as the result of out-of-control supporters in the IRS.
…to date the scandal has not been traced higher than Lois Lerner, she pleaded the Fifth Amendment (after professing to be innocent) and her pertinent email has not been produced, purported because her computer crashed and was "recycled."
Supposedly the same thing happened to the email and computers of about half a dozen other IRS employees whose emailed had been subpoenaed.
One computer crash could be viewed as an unfortunate coincidence, but half a dozen appear to be a conspiracy.
To get to the bottom of the IRS scandal, we need to figure out how high up that scandal goes.
To do that, the spotlight needs to be put on the story of Catherine Engelbrecht and the question has to be asked who inspired the Internal Revenue Service, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to start investigating her.
Lois Lerner was able to stall the processing of the tax exemption applications that Engelbrecht filed on behalf of a tea party organization called King Street Patriots and a non-partisan election integrity organization called True the Vote for years, but she could not even order audits of taxpayers, much less make OSHA, BATF and FBI do her bidding.
Engelbrecht's frightening story is incredible, but true.
…Engelbrecht's story is atypical, because multiple federal agencies suddenly came knocking after she "helped found and led True the Vote and King Street Patriots."
Engelbrecht was "a wife, a mother, and small businesswoman working with [her] husband, raising [their] children and participating in [her] church and PTA" and the federal government had been "collect[ing] [her] taxes and left [her] family in peace."
That ended with a vengeance.
…Engelbrecht's treatment was unique.
Engelbrecht testified at the Congressional hearing as follows:
"Shortly after filing IRS forms to establish 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organizations, an assortment of federal entities – including law enforcement agencies and a Congressman from Maryland, Elijah Cummings – came knocking at the door. In nearlt two decades of running our small business, my husband and I have never dealt with any government agency, outside of filing our annual tax returns. We had never been audited, we had never been investigated, but all that changed upon submitting applications for the non-profit statuses of True the Vote and King Street Patriots. Since that filing in 2010, my private businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and family have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit or inquiry by federal agencies.
- In 2011, my personal and business tax returns were audited by the Internal Revenue Service, each audit going back for a number of years.
- In 2012, my business was subjected to inspection by OSHA, on a select occasion when neither my husband nor I was present....
- In 2012 and again in 2013 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms conducted comprehensive audits at my place [of] business.
- Beginning in 2010, the FBI contacted my nonprofit organization on six separate occasions – wanting to cull through membership manifests in conjunction with domestic terrorism cases. They eventually dropped all matters and have now redacted nearly all my files.
"All these incursions into my affairs began after filing applications for tax exemption. There is no other remarkable event, no other reason, to explain away how for decades I went unnoticed, but now find myself on the receiving end of interagency coordination into and against all facets of my life, both public and private."
…Who but someone in the White House could coordinate the IRS, OSHA, BATF and FBI?
Not Lois Lerner.
Lerner was not in a position to do that.
President Obama certainly was in a position to arrange it, but to date there is no evidence that he did. No reporter has asked him on the record about Engelbrecht's ordeal, even though it understandably kept True the Vote and King Street Patriots from exercising their constitutional rights with respect to the 2012 elections as they wanted to do…

“True the Vote Wins Stunning Court Ruling Against IRS in Lois Lerner Scandal”
The True the Vote v. IRS lawsuit has finally come to a close with a stunning ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton ruling in favor of True the Vote; penalizing the IRS with maximum attorneys fees due to their unconstitutional discrimination against the group and their unethical behavior in the case.
This decision marks the end of a nearly decade long battle that first began in 2010, when federal government agencies including the IRS, DOJ, FBI, ATF, OSHA weaponized against True the Vote and its founder, Catherine Engelbrecht. Under Obama Administration leadership, the agencies leveled a barrage of attacks, including twenty-three audits, investigations, and inquiries, against the group in an attempt to stop their work in election integrity.

At one point the IRS got Child Services to try to take Ms. Engelbrechts’ children from her—this is how vicious Lerner and the crowd became, to stop honest elections. To stop those exposing the corruption of elections…
True the Vote’s founder Catherine Engelbrecht said, “At the outset of this case, I testified before Congress and swore that I would never retreat or surrender. Today I have fulfilled that oath. Thank you to all the citizens across the country who stood steadfastly beside us. We could not have done it without your support.”
