Arizona County Board’s Vote to Not Comply With Subpoenas Suggests Something to Hide: Trump Campaign Adviser
The vote by the board of supervisors in the largest county in Arizonanot to comply with subpoenas to audit election machines and scanned ballots suggests it has information it doesn’t want getting out, a Trump campaign adviser has asserted.
“That actually seems to be a major miscalculation by the county board of supervisors, because if they had nothing to hide, they would turn it over and say, ‘Here’s a subpoena, it’s a lawful subpoena from the state Senate, ” Boris Epshteyn, a campaign adviser to President Donald Trump, said on “War Room: Pandemic” on Dec. 19.

PHOENIX An aggravated assault charge against a former Mesa police officer who shot an unarmed man outside a bar while trying to make an arrest has been dismissed.
The Arizona Republic reports that a judge dismissed the felony charge against Nathan Chisler, who was charged in June and fired from the police force shortly after.
The shooting occurred in December 2019 after police responded to reports of drunk and disorderly patrons at a Mesa bar.
In a preliminary hearing last Friday, the Republic reported that Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Patricia Ann Starr agreed with the defense and dismissed the felony count against Chisler.
PHOENIX The question of whether Mormons are Christians may be a thought-provoking debate for theologians.
But the state Court of Appeals is warning Arizona judges to stay away from such issues.
And the appellate judges are advising parents who get divorced they need to be very careful in how they word the provisions of any parenting plan in a dissolution decree if they have strong feelings about the religious training their children.
In a unanimous ruling, the appellate judges struck down a ruling by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Mandell. They said he is constitutionally precluded from issuing a ruling, even if he has testimony to support his conclusion.

PHOENIX Yet another bid to overturn Arizona s election returns has been swatted down by a judge.
The latest ruling came Tuesday as Pinal County Superior Court Judge Kevin White ruled that Staci Burk lacked the legal standing to challenge the conduct of the election. White said only people who actually were registered to vote in the 2020 race can complain about its conduct and the results.
Burk admitted she was not registered.
She blamed that on county election officials who she claims illegally canceled her registration. And even if that were not the case, Burk contends that anyone who is eligible to vote registered or not has the right to sue over election returns.

A host of local and national organizations demanded the firing and prosecution of Phoenix police officers involved in the death of Muhammad Muhaymin Jr. in 2017. They also claimed that the officers mocked Muhaymin s religion Islam shortly before he died; a spokesperson for the Phoenix Police Department disputed this characterization. Muhaymin was killed as officers tried to arrest him for having an outstanding warrant for not showing up to court over a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge. Multiple cops held him down and put knees on his head and neck. He said, I can t breathe, according to bodycam footage, before he died in a pool of his own vomit. The Maricopa County Attorney s Office had previously cleared the involved officers of any criminal wrongdoing, but the organizations demanded that a new special prosecutor be appointed to investigate the incident. Meanwhile, Muhaymin s family is suing.
