As those who have seen the film or read the book know, “2000 Mules” was based on cell phone geolocation data collected and reviewed by True the Vote. An analysis of this data revealed highly suspicious patterns of certain cell phones, which were recorded in the location of ten or more dropboxes. This data was the premise of the film.
During the production of this film, as a supplement to the geolocation data, True the Vote provided my team with ballot drop box surveillance footage that had been obtained through open records requests. We were assured that the surveillance videos had been linked to geolocation cell phone data, such that each video depicted an individual who had made at least 10 visits to drop boxes. Indeed, it is clear from the interviews within the film itself that True the Vote was correlating the videos to geolocation data.
We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data.
I know that the film and my book create the impression that these individuals were mules that had been identified as suspected ballot harvesters based on their geotracked cell phone data. While all of these individuals’ images were blurred and unrecognizable, one of the individuals has since come forward publicly and has initiated a lawsuit over the use of his blurred image in the film and the book. I owe this individual, Mark Andrews, an apology. I now understand that the surveillance videos used in the film were characterized on the basis of inaccurate information provided to me and my team. If I had known then that the videos were not linked to geolocation data, I would have clarified this and produced and edited the film differently.
We operated in good faith and in reliance on True the Vote. We continue to have confidence in their work and also in the basic message of “2000 Mules,” namely, that the 2020 election was not the “most secure election in US history”—far from it!—and that there was systematic election fraud sufficient to call the outcome into question. We also continue to have faith that True the Vote’s underlying geolocation data and analysis uncovered highly suspicious cell phone travel patterns, including a significant number of cell phone IDs that were recorded at more than ten drop box locations. While the video in the film created an incorrect inference as to Mr. Andrews, the underlying premise of the film holds true.
Indeed, the accuracy of the general proposition of ‘2000 Mules” was publicly confirmed recently by the disclosure of a leading Democratic organizer, who admitted to an undercover journalist that the premise of “2000 Mules” is accurate.
Again, I apologize to Mr. Andrews. I make this apology not under the terms of a settlement agreement or other duress, but because it is the right thing to do, given what we have now learned. While I do not believe Mr. Andrews was ever identified by the film or book, I am sorry for any harm he believes he and his family has suffered as a result of “2000 Mules.”
Some critics, on the Right, pointed out the flaw in 2000 Mules long ago. He's known about it for years. The big surprise is that he ever got around to admitting it. In typical Dinesh fashion he passes the blame to someone other than himself. Some things never change.
Always seemed as ridiculous as ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. Glad he’s finally admitting it was all nonsense. He’s no better than Gore, or Michael Moore. Left or right, fakery needs to be banished.
Sounds like he screwed up ONE PERSON. If so, the rename it 1,999 Mules and be done with it.
I also like those hostage videos. The ones where they are reading a statement....and you can almost feel the Glock aimed at them just off camera.
This is the equivalent of a typographical error.
The basic premise is still true: Ballot harvesters/traffickers were collecting mail-in ballots and dropping them off at Democrat distribution points, the ballots were being voted and mules were taking bundles of them from the distribution points and dropping them into mail-in ballot boxes.
If we had an honest FBI (and maybe we will soon), the FBI would follow up on the 2000 Mules investigation and hold the crooks responsible.
He’s always been a grifter. I’ve known him for >30 years.
Correct.
Way to make siht up, Karen.
He said no such thing troll. He reaffirmed the central claim of 2000 Mules, as he clearly said in plain English.
Dinesh was on Glenn Beck maybe two years ago. Beck asked him directly if the film provided proof that anyone had illegally deposited ballots.
Dinesh said “No”. But that an investigation ought to be launched by authorities based on what the film presents. So which is it- the film proves ballot fraud- or the film only suggests ballot fraud.
There was no reason to obscure the faces of people going to the drop box. You can’t sue if you are filmed on a public street. The only reason to obscure faces is so that the audience will fill in the blank and assume that it shows someone went to the same dropbox twice.
If the film proves the case then Dinesh had no reason to apologize for it. And he would have told Beck that it does provide proof.
“He’s always been a grifter. I’ve known him for >30 years.”
I’ve followed his career for maybe that same amount of time. Back when he was trying to curry favor with the MSM by trashing conservatives as being racist.
And from what I know... you, sir, are absolutely correct.
Distort D’Newsa’s another deception. And a total flop.
He should disappear.
Are these people trashing me (just the messenger) on this thread for real? I guess some really are just true believers to the end.
Yup, there are some true believers here who will not reject a proven fabrication.
Dinesh is a good guy who was screwed by grifters from True The Vote. He’s trying to make it right.
humm.
‘...We were assured that the surveillance videos had been linked to geolocation cell phone data,...’
yeah, True the Vote says this is bs. i believe TTV.
my bs meter has always been pegged with this guy. sorry TTV decided to work with/help him. now they have a black eye for their efforts.
Apinealgland 2 is a troll. He says Dinesh D’Souza now admits 2000 Mules is nonsense. D’Souza said no such thing.
#19 trying to get me banned it seems. Why doesn’t he go after you or the others on this thread saying our Indian Friend is a fraud?
