News of an Eminent Covert Attack on U.S. Elections Surfaced Weeks Before the 2024 Election, Led to Operation "Three Musketeers" 

A few weeks before Americans headed to the polls in 2024, a quiet meeting in Mar a Lago set off a chain of events that reporter Emerald Robinson says nearly unraveled the most sophisticated election rigging operation in the world. In a detailed thread published across dozens of posts on X, Robinson laid out a story filled with covert briefings, last minute cyber strikes, and inner-circle personal relationships she claims shaped the final outcome of the 2024 presidential race.

Her account also sheds light on the shifting alliances and quiet tensions inside Trump's inner circle, showing how personal dynamics shaped key decisions.

According to Robinson, the turning point came when Trump adviser Susie Wiles met a technical expert who said he could explain exactly how global election systems had been compromised. Wiles had publicly dismissed election fraud claims, but during the briefing in Mar a Lago, her opinion made a sharp turn. After hearing the initial briefing, she decided Trump’s closest advisers needed the same information.

Elon Musk Enters the Picture

What happened next pushed the story into political thriller territory. Robinson reports that Wiles trusted only one person to help verify the data: Elon Musk. After receiving a summary of the technical findings, Musk reviewed it, made a phone call, and reportedly declared the information credible. Shortly thereafter, on October 17, 2024, he appeared at a pro-Trump event in Pennsylvania and made pointed comments about Dominion voting machines, signaling that something was deeply wrong behind the scenes.

A Secret Team Worked Against the Clock to Sabotage a Fraudulent Election

America's "Three Musketeers" Backed by Venezuelan Defectors

At the center of the story was a three-man team: a mystery expert who briefed Musk, former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, and former CIA officer Gary Berntsen. Robinson calls them the three Musketeers. She says they weren’t working alone. A Venezuelan group of Smartmatic whistleblowers, who once worked for Nicolás Maduro, were bunkered down in a hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland. Retired General Michael Flynn flew in to see them. He asked how long election rigging had been happening. They replied: "Venezuela now rigs it in 72 countries. For the last 20 years."

Robinson says the whistleblowers briefed both Musk’s team and Trump’s team over video calls, explaining the technical workings of the alleged rigging operation. One key detail stood out in her story: Dominion IP addresses had been located for just $15 in Bitcoin, purchased through an anonymous Japanese account.

A Cyber Strike Three Days Before Election Day

Once the data was verified, Robinson says Senator Markwayne Mullin helped secure a cybersecurity team to act on the information. Three days before Election Day, she claims the cyber team hit a Dominion office in Serbia, leaving its computers inoperable.

No one at Mar a Lago knew whether the effort was successful until the results came in. The expert who briefed Musk reportedly flew to Oslo that day, while others scattered, expecting they might need to flee the country if the alleged fraud went forward.

Robinson stated that Patrick Byrne watched the election returns from Switzerland and Gary Berntsen from Qatar, convinced they might be hunted down if Trump lost.

Inside Trump World: A Fight Over the Truth

In her report, Robinson also addressed the tensions inside Trump’s inner circle. She claims that Trump had been warned about election vulnerabilities days after the 2020 election by the same three-man team. But according to her, Trump entrusted the matter to Jared Kushner, whose team dismissed the intelligence. Figures like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were left isolated after receiving their early information from this same network.

When similar allegations surfaced in 2024, Robinson says Trump was furious that members of his team had spent years discouraging him from raising concerns. She names advisers like Boris Epshteyn and Chris LaCivita as individuals who tried to block access to the whistleblowers and the expert who briefed Musk.

A Dangerous Escape After Trump’s Victory

Whistleblowers on the Run

After Trump’s win, Robinson says the Venezuelan defectors were moved from Switzerland to the Bahamas on temporary visas. Their safety quickly unraveled as cartel groups allegedly began hunting for them.

When their visas expired in February 2025, Robinson writes that Patrick Byrne pushed off from Florida on a catamaran as a violent storm tore across the Atlantic. His mission, she says, was direct: reach the Bahamas, extract the whistleblowers before cartel hunters closed in, and move them into the United States before they were forced back to Venezuela.

The Final Rescue

Despite Trump being back in office, Robinson claims the administration still struggled to coordinate their protection. The story ends with former ICE Director Tom Homan sending two men from Washington to bring the whistleblowers safely into the United States.

White House Republicans Undermine Our Election

By April 2025, Trump authorized a new election-fraud task force. DOJ, CIA, DHS, and DNI officials met with the Venezuelan whistleblowers, but instead of coordinating, the agencies immediately began arguing over who controlled the investigation. After that first meeting, none of them returned. The case stalled before it even began.

Robinson wrote,

"What’s going on exactly? Our intel agencies are so compromised that NONE of them really want to investigate election fraud. Because they’re involved in rigging the elections too. And Trump didn’t bother to fire all these people."

By June, two of the whistleblowers quietly left the United States out of frustration and fear. Tulsi Gabbard stepped in and pulled in new personnel from the three-letter agencies to restart the review. Those new investigators were reportedly stunned by what they heard in the interviews.

July. Tulsi prepared to deliver a full report on both 2020 and 2024 to Trump. But Trump’s own White House advisers pressured her to omit the 2020 material. She delivered a partial report instead, and Trump (wanting the whole truth) was furious with Tulsi for not giving it.

Trump deciding to bypass the agencies entirely, he calls the Three Musketeers back to brief him directly to ascertain whether Venezuela truly controlled America’s elections. That briefing, according to Robinson, is what convinced Trump it was time to move against Maduro’s regime.

Side note: Robinson says Patrick Byrne spent tens of millions of dollars over the years (homes, cars, cryptocurrency, everything) to fund operations that the U.S. government wouldn’t; and Gary Berntsen mortgaged his house. Neither of them, according to Robinson, have been reimbursed by Trump, the government, or anyone else.

Robinson:

“How did the Three Musketeers do all of this? Well @PatrickByrne spent $80 million to protect America. Houses, cars, bitcoin: all gone now. Gary Berntsen mortgaged his house. They’re all broke now. No one has been PAID BACK by Trump or Trump Admin at all. Not one cent.”

Robinson notes that Byrne had long‑standing investigative authority: a 2006 Senate Judiciary Committee letter granting him broad latitude to investigate government corruption. That authorization, she argues, provided legal cover for everything he did.

Robinson's Post 27: Trump did not save the 2024 election, the Three Musketeers did. They found the IP addresses. They recruited whistleblowers. They briefed Musk and Susie Wiles. And for years, Trump’s own advisers kept them from reaching him.

The message is clear: America was ultimately protected by a small group working outside official channels, while Republican Party operatives inside the White House undermined the security of the vote and the country itself.

Robinson’s post 27:

"Let’s remember: Team Trump did not save the 2024 election. The Three Musketeers saved it. They got the IP addresses. They recruited the whistleblowers from Venezuela. Susie Wiles called these heroes 'the clown car.' Team Trump kept them from briefing Trump for YEARS."
