When the pair took this information to the FBI, the bureau “said the information was forwarded to their counter-intelligence operation, and a counter-intelligence op was opened up in January or February of 2021,” Phillips noted.
He then described how he and Engelbrecht went on to play an active role in the problem. “They engaged us in the operation, they were communicating with us on a regular basis. They were communicating with Catherine regarding communications with the target and this went on for approximately 15 months," he said.
They experts also said that the FBI field office they were working with for the 15 months was "legitimate" and not "political law enforcement."
“These were legitimate people who believed that this software posed a national security risk to the United States of America and they were working with us closely to try to stop this from being in place during the midterms,” Phillips explained.
“The focus point was always we needed to remove this software from the election, but taking a step further, there were a lot of other concerns that the bureau had," he said, adding that agents told the pair that Konnech was already on the FBI's radar for a number of other reasons.
In April, Engelbrecht said she got a call from the field office, which relayed that headquarters in Washington, D.C., had gotten involved. She said literally everything changed after that phone call.
There was no more goodwill, there was no more let's work together, the script had been flipped, and now we were the target,” she said. “That was a very disturbing call.”
The Substack report continued:
The agent informed Engelbrecht that “two women” at the FBI’s headquarters believed that Phillips and Engelbrecht were “in the wrong for doing this” and that the D.C. office was now trying “to figure out how you guys broke the law to find all of this.”
Engelbrecht added, “which of course we didn't, but that was kind of their MO [modus operandi], they were going to try to pin something on us, and today you can pick your headlines about how the FBI has done this time and again.”
“The problem is they know about this, and they chose to do nothing. They chose to investigate it, and in the end, they chose to blame us, but this is China. These are Chinese operatives in the United States; these are Chinese citizens who are programming this," Phillips added.
