He Didn't Act Alone
Chad Christensen was the central figure, but the scheme that destroyed Gregory Graf's livelihood and pursued years of harassment required a network. Each person below played a documented role. Each profile is sourced from court records, sworn depositions, and public records.
Greg Pruett
Idaho Second Amendment Alliance (ISAA)
He recruited Christensen to run for office in 2018. He received the secret recording the next day it was made. He coordinated with Dustin Hurst to publish the smear campaign. His fingerprints are on every stage.

State Farm Insurance, Idaho Falls
Christensen's boss at State Farm. She coordinated the secret recording. Christensen helped her download the recording app. She forwarded the recording to Christensen, who forwarded it to Pruett. She is still active in the network, a $100 donor to Christensen's 2026 campaign.
Read full profileA Pattern, Not an Incident
This was not a spontaneous act. The Idaho Freedom Foundation network has used litigation, media attacks, and coordinated harassment as tools against political critics for years. By the time Chad Christensen filed his defamation suit against Gregory Graf in 2021, the same network had already sued Graf once before (Doyle Beck, 2018), had a lawyer pre-committed to defend the participants (Bryan Smith), and had a media operation ready to amplify the story (Dustin Hurst and Greg Pruett). Every profile on this page documents a role in that pattern.
All claims are drawn from court records, sworn depositions, and public records in Case No. CV10-21-1197, Seventh District Court of Idaho.
