After spending nearly a week in jail, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips — leaders of Texas-based right-wing voting activist group True the Vote — have been released. They’d been held for contempt of court since Halloween, having repeatedly refused to release the name of a man they called a “confidential FBI informant” who is a person of interest in a defamation and hacking case against them.

The person remains unidentified.

I think this is the first time I have heard of anyone going to jail in a civil case for failure to disclose an informant. This is not a criminal case... in a civil case contempt is usually assessed with a fine... correct???

I think woodwork should be indicted for not disclosing deepthroat, well at least not until he came out of the closet revealing himself as deepthroat.

“leaders of Texas-based right-wing voting activist group True the Vote”

Since when is election integrity “right-wing”?

How much time does the unlawful judge who unlawfully sent them to jail have to serve himself?

btw, the appeals court merely stayed the jailing, not the lower court’s ruling:

What effect does a ruling without punishment have on the defendants?

“Engelbrecht and Phillips were not held in “prison” but rather the Joe Corley Federal Detention Facility, which is a temporary lock-up facility used by the U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and is not run by the Bureau of Prisons. Still, they repeatedly claimed to be in “prison” in their many fundraising efforts of the past week.”

They’re going for semantics? The we’re incarcerated in a federal facility. Call it you want, but they sure as hell weren’t free on their on recognizance. They spy on James Rogan, Sharyl Attkisson, James O’Keefe, the Trump campaign/administration and others and they get away with it.

Direct assaults on the First Amendment. Talk about a threat to democracy . . .

The left has no integrity of any kind so it looks like they may be correct that it is right-wing.
