Once again, a Biden official has found himself in trouble.
This time, it is a Department of Defense staffer.
Frederick Moorefield, 62, had been indicted on charges related to a dog-fighting ring.
Guilty
According to reports, Moorefield and his partner, Mario Flythe, 49, had warrants issued in September.
When authorities checked their homes they found veterinary steroids, training equipment, and jumper cables that were “used to execute dogs that lose dogfights(sic).”
They also rescued 12 dogs that were being used in the fighting ring.
The men had used code names and an encrypted messaging app to run their ring.
While Moorefield has since been terminated, he was serving as the Deputy Chief Information Officer for Command, Control, and Communications, for the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
The DOJ stated, “On September 6, 2023, law enforcement officers executed search warrants at Moorefield and Flythe’s residences in Maryland.
“Following the execution of these warrants, twelve dogs were recovered and seized by the federal government.
“Law enforcement also recovered veterinary steroids, training schedules, a carpet that appeared to be stained with blood, and a weighted dog vest with a patch reading ‘Geehad Kennels.’
“In addition, law enforcement officers seized a device consisting of an electrical plug and jumper cables, which the affidavit alleges is consistent with devices used to execute dogs that lose dogfights.”
The Department of Defense confirmed that Moorefield is no longer working for the DOD, but it did not say when he had been separated.
