The team behind '2000 Mules' is called out for deception. Again.

I saw the film “2000 Mules” soon after its release last spring, having been goaded into doing so by its director, Dinesh D’Souza.

-snip-

I interviewed D’Souza at length about the film. And while he admitted that he was reliant on the data from True the Vote, he insisted it had outside validators. For example, he noted with approval that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation didn’t say the geolocation data was fake, though they publicly rejected the idea that an investigation into True the Vote’s claims were warranted. (True the Vote also declined to identify a purported whistleblower who made claims about buying ballots.)

-snip-

Just as that interview published, NPR reported that a key point in the film — that True the Vote had helped solve a “cold case” murder in Georgia — was false. The day after, an election board in Georgia rejected claims made in the film, including clearing a man who was one of the few depicted in the movie dropping off multiple ballots. (He was doing so on behalf of his family, perfectly legally.) And that Yuma County investigation cited by D’Souza also didn’t exist: The sheriff had, instead, put out a statement touting his work combating fraud.

On Friday, a new development: The office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) sent a letter to the FBI and IRS recommending an investigation into True the Vote. An ostensible nonprofit, the group has raised millions of dollars purportedly centered on proving election fraud. But in its interactions with True the Vote (TTV), Brnovich’s office found a repeated pattern of misinformation and falsehood.

An Indian version of Steve Bannon and/or Roger Stone. A lying scumbag, that's why he's a Trump supporter.
