She may make it her personal mission to scorch the very earth you walk upon.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=207\">Get your weed from Trulieve? You can now buy its shares on the NYSE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell recently scored her pound of flesh from online troll and onetime defense lawyer Vladimir Gagic, who likes to pass the time by profanely criticizing her appearance and job performance on social media. And the State Bar of Arizona played cat\u2019s paw to the thin-skinned prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p>On May 14, a three-member disciplinary panel ruled in favor of the state bar\u2019s complaint against Gagic, finding that Gagic\u2019s insulting social media tirades against Mitchell and now-hubby Paul Stout had caused \u201cpotential harm (injury)\u201d to the legal profession and had been \u201cgenerally disrespectful of the court.\u201d That thereby earned Gagic the ultimate sanction: immediate disbarment.<\/p>\n<p>Harsh as that sounds, the ruling was effectively redundant. In 2023, the bar suspended Gagic for a year after he compared members of the local judiciary to \u201cthe Spanish Inquisition\u201d and to participants in the Stalinist show trials. Gagic made those comparisons in briefs Gagic filed in defense of a Black man, Jamaal Pennington, who faced sex trafficking and child molestation charges. Gagic insists that Pennington was falsely accused.<\/p>\n<p>The year-long suspension was a professional death sentence for Gagic, who was forced off Pennington\u2019s case and faced a high hurdle of paying a fine, showing remorse and proving he had been rehabilitated from his bad behavior before he could be reinstated. Gagic, who previously had enjoyed a 20-year career as an attorney free of discipline, was unwilling to endure such sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>So, why did the state bar double down on ejecting Gagic from the legal community? Because the bar, which is well-known for favoritism and for picking and choosing its targets accordingly, was acting on the dictates of Mitchell. Her complaints against Gagic for his arguably First Amendment-protected speech ran aground in now-shuttered criminal investigations performed by the Phoenix Police Department, the Arizona Attorney General\u2019s Office and the FBI. But the state bar was more amenable.<\/p>\n<p>The criminal investigations, done at the behest of Mitchell and her prickly beau, came after a social media war between Stout and Gagic, during which Gagic revealed that Stout was Mitchell\u2019s fianc\u00e9 and that the former shoe salesman and state employee had been using burner accounts to attack Mitchell\u2019s critics online. That tiff resulted in Stout obtaining an injunction against harassment against Gagic \u2014 despite Gagic having made no direct threats of violence, save for a hypothetical invitation to mutual fisticuffs.<\/p>\n<p>The two men have never met, except during a September 2024 court hearing, at which Gagic unsuccessfully challenged the order barring him from doing more than commenting \u201ccivilly\u201d on X about Stout\u2019s \u201cideas.\u201d Despite Stout\u2019s admission under oath that he had attacked others online under pseudonyms \u2014 and that Mitchell had helped him draft the complaint against Gagic \u2014 Maricopa County Superior Court commissioner Richard Albrecht ruled that Gagic had harassed Stout, saying that the First Amendment did not apply. The ruling was upheld by the Arizona Court of Appeals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ever obstreperous, Gagic continued to mouth off about Mitchell and Stout on X, triggering the pair to kvetch endlessly to law enforcement, seeking Gagic\u2019s arrest and prosecution. They were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>But Gagic\u2019s insults, innuendo and countless fat jokes also prompted Mitchell to throw the punch that eventually landed. In July 2024, she emailed the state bar to demand that Gagic \u201cbe disbarred,\u201d in part because \u201cGagic has been criticizing me on X for months.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And like a greyhound unleashed, the bar proceeded to do just that.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><strong>Cops, the AG and the FBI, oh my!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The bar took nearly two years to lower the axe on Gagic\u2019s professional neck. By that time, three law enforcement agencies had wasted precious public resources investigating a guy whose primary offense was being obnoxious on a platform that now overwhelmingly exists to host derogatory content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Records obtained by Phoenix New Times showed that in 2024, Stout repeatedly complained to the Phoenix Police Department about Gagic\u2019s posts, alleging they violated the harassment order. Stout told the cops that Mitchell had \u201ca conversation with the assistant chief\u201d to instigate the investigation into Gagic and that \u201che and Rachel\u201d were to be interviewed by the FBI because \u201cthe FBI felt there would be cyberstalking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, FBI agent Wyatt Storm served Gagic the injunction at Gagic\u2019s home in August 2024. Storm was joined by three Maricopa County Sheriff\u2019s deputies, who kept their hands on their holstered guns, as revealed by body-worn camera footage that Gagic obtained via a public records request and posted online.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, according to FBI reports obtained via a federal public records lawsuit filed on Gagic\u2019s behalf by Washington, D.C.-based attorney Wade McMullen, the FBI investigated Gagic for alleged \u201ccyberstalking,\u201d citing a violation of a federal statute that carries a possible punishment of up to five years imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of that year, the FBI had closed the case. Though not all of Gagic\u2019s FBI file has been released, the records include a December 2024 turn-down letter from the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona. It conceded that Gagic\u2019s conduct may be \u201charassing in nature and offensive,\u201d but it noted that the First Amendment \u201cpermits even offensive speech in many contexts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The letter states that the FBI \u201cconcurred with the plan to close the matter\u201d and offered reasons why a conviction was unlikely, including \u201cmutual online communication between the victim and Mr. Gagic,\u201d the \u201cnature of the speech relating to a public figure running for office\u201d and caselaw on cyberstalking that \u201crequires a higher level of scrutiny\u201d when a public figure is involved. Moreover, Gagic\u2019s X account \u201cdoes not include speech specifically threatening physical harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This news apparently was not well-received by Mitchell and Stout. The FBI file includes an email to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office, likely from Stout and\/or Mitchell \u2014 as alleged \u201cvictims,\u201d their names have been largely redacted from the documents \u2014 stating that the sender was \u201ca bit disappointed with how the FBI has handled this situation.\u201d The letter also asked for \u201ca high-level overview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was not to be. Records show that during a January 2025 Skype meeting with the FBI, the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office and the complainants, an unnamed participant provided \u201can emotional response to the news of the declination and disconnected from the call prior to completion.\u201d\u00a0 Three guesses on who that was.<\/p>\n<p>Probes by Phoenix police and the Arizona Attorney General\u2019s Office also went nowhere. Records obtained by New Times show that Phoenix police investigated Gagic for aggravated harassment, a class 6 felony, passing it onto Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes\u2019 desk in 2025. Mitchell had referred the case due to her glaring conflict of interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mayes\u2019 office obtained an Orwellian search warrant for all Gagic\u2019s communications on X and also interviewed Stout, who complained about Gagic\u2019s \u201cpotential for violence.\u201d Mayes\u2019 office concluded that Gagic may be in violation of the court\u2019s gag order \u2014 Gagic had continued to hurl epithets at Stout such as \u201cpsycho freakshow loser,\u201d \u201closer pussy cocksucker\u201d and \u201cnasty dirtbag troll\u201d \u2014 but the investigation also noted that Stout previously admitted in court that he had \u201cused pseudonyms online to attack Gagic as well as political rivals of his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=205\">Nazi-salutin\u2019 Deer Valley school board member storms out of meeting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The same records show that after New Times asked about the search warrant on Gagic\u2019s X account, Nicholas Klingerman, chief counsel of the attorney general\u2019s criminal division, emailed Mayes\u2019 spokesperson Richie Taylor to say that the warrant \u201cshould have been sealed.\u201d He added that he was \u201cnot sure we\u2019ll prosecute anything\u201d and that \u201cnow I\u2019m concerned about causing unnecessary concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March, Taylor told New Times that Mayes\u2019 office considers the case against Gagic \u201cfully closed,\u201d stating that it was never submitted to a grand jury or referred to another agency. Mitchell had crapped out again.<\/p>\n<p>But she could still count on the state bar.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><strong>Kangaroo court<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The State Bar of Arizona has a long record of arbitrariness and a lack of transparency in its dealings with its members, among whom are some of the most powerful individuals in Arizona.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Though the bar is a nonprofit institution that technically receives no public money, it is supervised by the Arizona Supreme Court, which is funded by Arizona taxpayers. Under a rule that took effect in January 2020, the Arizona Supreme Court effectively blocked public access to its members\u2019 state bar files, except in certain narrow instances.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the public can obtain no information on a bar complaint filed in 2022 against Mitchell and other top county prosecutors for allegedly suppressing evidence and other misconduct in the false prosecution of Nubia Rodriguez. The county attorney\u2019s office \u2014 led by Mitchell\u2019s predecessor at the time \u2014 charged Rodriguez with negligent homicide in the accidental 2019 traffic death of a Phoenix police officer, who jaywalked in front of her vehicle. Two judges dismissed the charge against Rodriguez for prosecutorial wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>If the bar did more than a cursory review of the complaint before square-filing it, the public will never know. In response to an inquiry from New Times, bar spokesperson Danny Shapiro would only say that \u201cthe charges were closed and have no public disposition,\u201d adding that per the bar\u2019s rules, \u201cthere are no public records available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bar\u2019s one-sided rules were in full effect at Gagic\u2019s April 15 hearing before Lisa VandenBerg, the Arizona Supreme Court\u2019s presiding disciplinary judge, and two other panel members. VandenBerg had previously ruled that Gagic could not subpoena Mitchell because VandenBerg considered her a \u201cnon-party\u201d to the case. Subsequently, Gagic refused to comply with a subpoena to be deposed by the state bar senior counsel Craig Henley prior to the hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, at the beginning of the nearly two-hour hearing, VandenBerg declared that Gagic \u201cwill not be permitted to testify\u201d but would be able to \u201cpresent argument\u201d regarding the \u201caggravation and mitigation\u201d of the sanctions he would face as a result of his disobedience. Gagic responded with an ironic \u201cHallelujah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henley spoke first, painting the already-suspended attorney as the second coming of Voldemort, accusing him of a \u201crelentless quest to impugn the integrity of the judiciary and the judicial system.\u201d Gagic had maligned a number of judges, Henley averred, giving numerous examples. Worse still, Gagic possessed as a \u201cself-serving interest\u201d his intention to \u201cburden the sitting county attorney and her husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gagic had been \u201cobstructionist\u201d during the two-year process leading to the hearing before VandenBerg, Henley said. He had \u201cconsistently refused to comply with the court orders and discipline rules in this case,\u201d which had \u201cerode(d) the public\u2019s confidence in the rule of law and the orderly system of justice.\u201d A pretty robust allegation against a guy with less than 1,000 followers on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Henley stumbled when he accused Gagic of \u201cmultiple threats and expletive-laced emails to the state bar.\u201d Gagic called that out as \u201ca lie,\u201d prompting Henley to read aloud an email in which Gagic wrote that \u201cI can\u2019t wait for all your kids to find out you are all a bunch of fucking cowards and traitors.\u201d Profane, sure. Threatening?<\/p>\n<p>Despite the supposed ban on him testifying, Gagic got in his licks in, repeatedly interrupting to the point that VandenBerg threatened to kick him out. Gagic nonetheless buffaloed his way through the hearing, making points that were sometimes off topic and other times spot on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is the State Bar of Arizona OK with the county attorney using her husband to troll her critics?\u201d Gagic asked during the proceeding. \u201cThat\u2019s what I would like to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gagic continued, driving home the point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would think a county attorney should maybe have thicker skin, should maybe just, I don\u2019t know, ignore me,\u201d he said. \u201cIf she just ignored me, if Mitchell just ignored me, I would quit Twitter after two weeks because what\u2019s the fun in that? There is no fun. There\u2019s no point to it if I\u2019m just being ignored. But she created this. Why is the county attorney ordering a defense attorney disbarred for criticizing on Twitter? Why isn\u2019t that kind of problematic?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Mitchell\u2019s unhinged pursuit of an admittedly offensive troll has only elevated Gagic\u2019s fat jokes and problematic innuendo, giving them a far wider audience than if Mitchell and Stout had simply looked the other way. By doubling down at every turn, the couple created a trail of public documents that illustrate a prolonged example of what is commonly referred to as the Streisand effect. For Mitchell, it could also be viewed as an abuse of her authority as a prosecutor, one in which the state bar is complicit.<\/p>\n<p>Following his notice of disbarment, the bar hit Gagic with a bill for more than $4,400 for the costs of the proceedings against him. His previous suspension garnered a similar bill for $6,000, according to the state bar\u2019s website. He compared the invoice to the \u201cbullet fee\u201d the Chinese communists reputedly applied to the families of executed prisoners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gagic also doesn\u2019t think Mitchell is done with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAs long as she\u2019s in power, there\u2019s going to be people pandering to her,\u201d he said. \u201cFor her, it\u2019s personal. And who the fuck am I? I\u2019m nobody. You know what I mean? Who\u2019s going to stop it? So why wouldn\u2019t she? So, depending on who the attorney general is or the U.S. attorney or whoever else, as long as she\u2019s in power, she\u2019s going to try.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell characteristically did not respond to New Times\u2019 request for comment on her and her paramour\u2019s feud with Gagic, and whether she will finally put an end to it.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=203\">Special prosecutor investigating Maricopa County Recorder employees<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell struck out on getting cops to charge a man who trolls her online.
