@ASFleischman AZ law now covers nearly all lawful forms of speech, press, petition, and assembly. It defines “legal action” as including civil claims AND criminal prosecutions. NO other anti-SLAPP law in the U.S. allows criminal defendants to use anti-SLAPP motions to defeat criminal charges.
Knuth's Nov 27, 2023 testimony is here, on pages 92-101. AGAIN, the grand jurors had quite a few questions to ask witness Knuth and prosecutor Lawson.

In all of Arizona, no news operation of any type has even ONE full-time paid reporter covering just the local courts - no one that understands the law and procedures, knows the people, and can attend hearings, read documents, write, explain to readers or listeners what happened.
@mattvanswol This corresponds with the disintegration of serious, competent, financially independent local news operations.
When citizens no longer understand how their LOCAL governments work, and begin to believe that such things are NOT understandable, they stop trying to understand.
@mattvanswol@elonmusk To understand why government actors [and their co-conspirators] don't get indicted and arrested for their parts in official fraud, it's helpful - maybe critical - to understand what's happened to our criminal justice system over the last 30-50 years. It's a giant fraud/scam, also
X responded to AZ AG's search warrant that sought X account records related to Vladimir Gagic: Dear X User:
We've received your notice that a Motion to Quash has been filed. We will suspend processing the request regarding @toxikVlad pending resolution of the motion to quash.
Where it was filed is a secret.
The identity of the person requesting the search warrant - swearing under oath to the necessity of the search - is hidden.
The signature of the person [a judge?] that purportedly signed and authorized the search is illegible.
The person signing [a judge?] ASKS the entity that is expected to carry out the search its customer's records to NOT advise the customer of the search.

Have there been 2,497+ plus secret search warrants authorized by someone - so far this year in Arizona?
Apparently related to the AZ Attorney General's Special Investigative Services monitoring of social media accounts, in this case "X". ( Case No. SIS-2025-0412)

Yesterday, X provided Gagic an unredacted copy of the search warrant. It was filed in Pima County, requested by AZ AG Special Agent James Wakeman (Badge #520)
