1/ Alright, everyone. I watched @DineshDSouza's new film #2000Mules (twice) and have put together a review of the movie. I cover what they got right, what they got wrong, and what they fail to prove. I think this is an important piece. Please share and RT. readtangle.com/2000-mules-fac…
2/ I want to first remind everyone that this is a *new* theory. The stolen election theories started with the granddaddy of them all -- Dominion Voting Systems. But they have changed, repeatedly, and now landed here. Back at election fraud. 
3/ From the very opening scene in this film, D'Souza is misleading viewers with a viral clip of Joe Biden that has been deceptively edited and taken out of context. I explain here:
4/ The movie then pivots into perhaps the most debunked election fraud claim yet. The idea that Biden overtaking Trump in the middle of the night was somehow unexpected or proof of fraud. I explain how we knew this was likely before the race even started:
5/ There are loads of other spurious claims that the movie introduces or recycles (like that Trump won bellwether counties or was outperformed by every Republican candidate, all of which is false)
6/ The central claim in #2000Mules, though, is the idea that a group of 2,000+ people (D'Souza estimates as many as 54,000) were conducting a massive ballot harvesting scheme to overthrow the election.
Simply put: D'Souza never comes close to proving this.

7/ The cell phone location data thesis is spurious for a number of reasons, which Gregg Phillips (featured in the movie) has actually admitted in testimony before the Pennsylvania state senate
8/ Here is Phillips conceding that without footage in Pennsylvania (which they don't have in the movie) they can't know for sure if innocent people are being caught up in their data dragnet
9/ One of the main characters in the film has *already been investigated* by Georgia state officials. They exonerated him, saying all five ballots D'Souza shows him depositing were for family members. readtangle.com/otherposts/200…
10/ D'Souza, Phillips and Engelbrecht also allege over and over again that they have videos of the same people appearing at different drop boxes in the same day and placing ballots in them. Yet they never show such footage in the film.
Not once!
Not once!
11/ D'Souza actually responded to this criticism with this tweet:
https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1524865266894897152
12/ These two photos show one man depositing in a drop box on 2 different days -- which is not the central "mule" claim purported in the movie.
Even worse, it looks like the guy is an innocent caretaker/nurse of some kind, who can legally deposit ballots for ppl in his care.

13/ D'Souza and his team never once explain why in such a scheme Democrats would use dropboxes when they could use their own mail boxes or the Post Office, which would be much less public scenes! He also never explains how these ballots would not be caught.
14/ The film also frames ppl wearing gloves or taking selfies with ballots as somehow suspicious, despite the fact a) it's cold in Nov-Dec-Jan! and b) we were in the middle of a pandemic. 🤔
15/ Most telling, though, is what @DineshDSouza *doesn't* tell the viewer.
He presents "True The Vote" as a non-partisan org despite the fact it is a Tea Party offshoot run by lifelong and vocal conservatives. #2000Mules

16/ He does not inform #2000Mules viewers that he
A) Actually presented this data to Georgia officials, who said it was not sufficient evidence even for an investigation! OR
B) Why they couldn't easily prosecute the ppl they have identified, if the crimes are real?

17/ Perhaps most telling of all, though, is the #2000Mules team won't even hand over the incriminating information they say they have to officials to investigate!
They were *literally subpoenaed* for it because GA would want to know
But they won't turn it over. Why??
"🤔🤔🤔"

END/ In the end, D'Souza's #2000Mules is a mix of truth, recycled lies, and a brand new theory that he provides no compelling evidence to support.
I've become well-learned in these allegations.
And this is one of the least convincing yet.
