Prosecutor Switched Sides

  By , ,

A United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Prosecutor felt so guilty about how Defendant was treated, that the Prosecutor decided to switch sides, to represent Defendant instead of the Government

Have you ever heard of a Prosecutor switching sides to then defend an alleged Defendant just before Trial?

“Moffatt Media,” has expanded its investigative skills into an Innocence project case.

First time ever, for Moffatt Media’s Eyes to have Witnessed a Prosecutor switch sides to defend an alleged Defendant.

_____

In my 20 years as an attorney I have NEVER seen a situation where the Prosecutor (Plaintiff’s Attorney) for the United States of America government now becomes Defendants Counsel.

Defense counsel then becomes Plaintiff’s Counsel for the United States of America, said alleged Defendant.

“Since the Prosecutor is now my Counsel, can you have my new counsel call me?”

If my new attorney aka former Prosecutor does not proceed with a Motion to Dismiss the Indictment, will you put forth an effort for dismissal?”

The Transcript declares in part “True and Correct Transcript,” of the reported proceedings held, 9/1/2022.  Defendant argues it is impossible that the Transcript is: “True and Correct.” because the Prosecutor’s Appearance indicates to have switched sides.   The Prosecutor is now my defense counsel, says Defendant.

Above is not done in satire.   Moffatt Media’s eyes did witness where the Court Reporter flipped Prosecutor to represent Defendant, in a Transcript.

In a separate unrelated issue, an Amicus Brief filed by The Onion, actually made its way into the United States Supreme Court, was based on Satire.   Click on highlighted area above for Source Link.

The Onion’s Satire Amicus Brief, and errors found in an actual Federal U.S. District Court Central District Transcript covered by “Moffatt Media,” makes you see comedy at work in Federal criminal cases.

Sentencing News – Politics

Moffatt Media, Palmdale, California

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fortenberry served as a Congressional Rep., from 2005-2022 (17 years) and resigned on March 26, 2022, after pressure by Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader.    

June 28, 2022 Fortenberry is to be sentenced.  Fortenberry’s sentence was prompted by a federal Jury that found Fortenberry guilty on March 25, 2022.

Along with a Grand Jury Indictment, filed against Fortenberry back on 10/19/2021, in the United States District Court Central District of California. JEFF FORTENBERRY NEBRASA CONGRESSMAN GJ JUNE 2021

But Fortenberry pleaded not guilty for supposedly giving False Statements to FBI agents (2016) on $30k Foreign Campaign Donation, at a California Fundraising Event. 

Fortenberry has served as a Nebraska Congressional Rep., who now finds himself facing “Excessive Sentencing,” for alleged nonviolent offense.

  • Public Interest Concern Question:  Why did Tracy Wilkison, Prosecutor-Acting United States Attorney,  NOT affix her own signature onto the Indictment, against Fortenberry

Because Wilkison was not officially appointed as a United States Attorney for the Central District until November 16, 2021, by Merrick Garland, United States Attorney General.  

  • Second Public Interest Concern Question:  Why is Fortenberry facing a statutory “Mandatory Maximum   Sentencing?”

Because President Biden has failed to restore the United States Sentencing Commission, since January 21, 2020.

Did you know, that both Congressional Representatives Armstrong and Raskin said the lack of quorum also meant the commission cannot update the advisory sentencing guidelines needed to help implement the law, resulting potentially in its uneven application by judges across the country.  

Sadly Biden’s intentional act not to appoint ANY commissioners on the Sentencing Commission, takes another toll on our American criminal justice system!

Installing a new Sentencing Commission would help prevent “Excessive Sentencing” to reform criminal Mandatory Maximum Sentencing, that contribute towards: “Massive Incarceration,” even against alleged nonviolent offenders including Fortenberry.

Since Biden’s failure to restore the Sentencing Commission, Fortenberry’s Sentence should be put on STAY.

In consequence, Fortenberry’s landmark case is an example to now call on Congress with evaluating and reforming 18 U.S. Code §1001, that imposes a Mandatory Maximum Sentencing 5 years.  In Fortenberry case (5 years x 3 counts)=15 year sentence Fortenberry is facing in prison.

Noting, without restoring the United States Sentencing Commission, confidence in the uniformity and fairness of our criminal justice system is gone!

With a broken criminal justice system American Citizens like Fortenberry are now becoming the target of  false criminal charges conjured by American rogue prosecutors.   

Fortberry, will be sentenced on three felony charges, that carries Maximum 15 years in prison, which is an “Excessive Sentence,” even if Fortenberry were to serve one day in Prison away from his family. 

Now as a Congressman who understands the absolute abuse of power brought by a select few corrupt individuals within the Justice Dept … my heart goes out to Congressman Fortenberry and his family for the injustice they have suffered,” said Rep. Rick Renzi

The Judge in Fortenberry’s case can do the right thing by issuing Court Ordered Community Service to Fortenberry with preventing another “Excessive Sentencing,” scheme.

Congress, it is time to bring more attention to “Mandatory Maximum Sentencing,” laws!  Because these same laws cause cruel punishment and “Excessive Sentencing,” where logic does not hold especially towards nonviolent offenders. 

Thus, a 15 year “Mandatory Maximum Sentence” against Fortenberry would be an “Excessive Sentence.”

Kevin McCarthy Congressman had no immediate response.

Price gouging gas where is DOJ

  By ,

Moffatt Media, Palmdale, California

 

Friday’s Public Concern:   Did you know the U.S. DOJ prosecuted and sentenced a man for ...  “Price Gouging Facemasks?”

Where is the U.S. DOJ for “Price Gouging” Gas?

Troy Businessman Sentenced for Hoarding and Price Gouging Facemasks

ALBANY, NEW YORK – Imran Selcuk, age 35, of Troy, New York, was sentenced September  2, 2021, 3 years of probation for … price gouging  in violation of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (DPA), said in part by the United States Department of Justice – The United States Attorney’s Office Northern District of New York.

Arend Mathijssen, Quartz Hill, California Concerned Citizen and Taxpayer, reported March 10, 2022, within his own community, cost for Supreme Gas: $6.35 and Diesel $6.79.

Yet, certain Congressional Representatives are blaming “Putin,” for higher Gas prices throughout our Nation.These same Congressional Representatives won’t call out, tell the truth or prosecute big oil and gas companies that are “Price Gouging” Gas, against its own Citizens, similar to the Troy Businessman prosecuted for“Price Gouging Facemasks.” …

Truth Exposed about certain career Congressional Representatives, who are unfriendly towards the same American Citizen’s they claim to represent.   But remember the power to vote is one of your most important sacred rights of “We the People, We the Taxpayers and We the Majority!”
