Caught on video Verbal abuse by Federal Public Defender

By: Star Moffatt, CEO of Moffatt Media (Investigative Journalist & Eye Witness)

Caught on video “Verbal & Mental” abuse induced by Claire Rogerson, “Federal Public Defender,” against alleged criminal Defendant Jeffrey Dean Moffatt, Ret. Federal Attorney and Former (2016) Congressional Candidate.

(Episode 1)

QUESTION PRESENTED:  A four month rookie assigned to defend high profile case of a 20 year Federal Attorney.  The question of the year, why would the Federal Public Defender’s Office assign an unskilled attorney to represent a seasoned 20 year Federal attorney?

Newbie (Rookie) Rogerson only licensed to practice California law from  7/13/2023 and was assigned to Moffatt’s case 11/2023.  Yet the  United States Supreme Court has made it very clear that any alleged criminal defendant must create a record at trial court level “Ineffective Assistance of Counsel,” in order for the Supreme Court to consider accepting a case for review. 

See Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez, Docket #20-1009, which mandates that deficiencies of counsel must make the record at trial court level.   5/23/2022 Justice Sotomayor, gave a Dissenting Opinion in Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez, said in part: “…the Court leaps to the conclusion that a petitioner is at fault for not developing the evidentiary record on a trial-ineffectiveness claim even if that lack of development.” … to essentially mean that a Defendant must know the law better than the attorney. 

Learning of Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez, my eyes have witnessed since 9/3/2021 to present April 2024, Newbie (Rookie) Rogerson, Public Defender #2 and prior Ramanujan Deskin Nadadur aka Anuj Nadadur, Public Defender #1, rolled over on Moffatt, ie … my beloved husband Jeff of 33 years.   Neither Rogerson or Nadadur, would NOT do one procedural substantial thing Jeff would ask. 

Essentially (Rogerson & Nadadur) have been setting my husband up to be railroaded on alleged non-violent offense without any victims and subjecting my husband with facing 105 years in Federal prison on statutes themselves, which raise constitutional challenges.   What qualifies me to say such:  I am also a Certified Paralegal since 1999, co-owner of a law firm, past lead Plaintiff in two major government cases, I have completed my First Year in Law and I have two College Degrees.

Back to what my eyes witnessed: misconduct by Rogerson and Nadadur,  they would NOT even submit one shred of Jeff’s own evidence, that included two Forensic Expert Reports onto the government’s supposed counsel.  

Since 9/2021 through 4/2024, (Rogerson & Nadadur) would NOT even submit ANY Pretrial Motions into the Court, with a simple Motion to Dismiss, because the court lacks jurisdiction on the alleged Grand Jury Indictment, that was filed  5 years and 3 months past the Statute of Limitations on 7/23/2021.   So yes, I have no problem admitting to doing the audio-video recording on Rogerson, because (Rogerson & Nadadur), were obviously rolling over and doing stand-downs  against my husband Jeff.

Additionally, I admit to doing the recordings without Rogerson’ consent because of fear in  protecting my husband’s safety from being illegally arrested (kidnapped) again, and potentially wrongfully convicted.  

They (Rogerson & Nadadur)  pushed my back up against the wall, to help protect my beloved husband Jeff’s American constitutional rights and gather evidence in creating a public record for trial court level as mandated in Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez, U.S. Supreme Court Docket#20-1009.  Briefly, in Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez, two Arizona convicted prisoners on Death Row: David Martinez Ramirez and Barry Lee Jones, were seeking post conviction remedies, to prove: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel, but Ramirez and Jones were still executed in Arizona.       

When the “Shoes of Injustices,” are being faced similarly in Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez and my husband is facing 105 years in federal prison, which is essentially a Death Sentence, on a bogus Indictment and illegal arrest,  wouldn’t you do the same thing to protect your own family members freedoms, even if meant to video or record a conversation, regardless if one is a Federal Public Defender?

(Rogerson & Nadadur’s)  actions against my husband Jeff, have been intentional unethical conduct by failing NOT to uphold his guaranteed Sixth Amendment and Equal Constitutional Protections, that have been placing my husband at risk of being wrongfully convicted of 105 years in federal prison on alleged non-violent offenses.    Enough is enough with intentionally depriving my husband of his constitutional protections for  nearly 3 years. 

Again one reason for recording Rogerson was to assist my husband (Jeff) in gathering evidence at the trial court record of  Ineffective Assistance of Counsel, based on  Shinn v. Ramirez, among other issues.

Normally I do not make it a practice to share our own Life Bumps, on Moffatt Media’s social media platform, but it is time and much overdue in time!

Since my eyes have witnessed three incidents of Verbal & Mental abuse by Rogerson, Federal Public Defender against my husband Jeffrey Moffatt, Fed Retired Federal Attorney, an alleged criminal defendant.  It wasn’t until the third call that I recorded Rogerson. I had enough listening to how Rogerson, Rookie (Newbie) was verbally abusing my husband over the telephone.

My beloved husband of 33 years, an alleged criminal defendant in Federal Court is facing 105 years in federal prison on a bogus Grand Jury Indictment that alleges  5 Counts of Wire fraud at $30k and 1 Count of False Statement.  The bogus Indictment was filed against my husband 7/23/2021, he (Jeff) was illegally arrested 9/3/2021, never received any Summons or simple telephone call to advise him, that he had been Indicted on 7/23/2021.  

Get this, government Prosecutors had to conceal material facts from the Grand Jury, because if the (Jurors) had been shown evidence that $30k was on actually attorney fees earned and approved by five Judges, there is no way in the world ANY Juror, would have returned a Federal Felony Indictment, against my husband.  The government (Prosecutors)  also had to conceal from the (Jurors), an open Federal Appeal that has existed in another court prior to the Indictment, on the same issues since  6/19/2020 and that several recent U.S. Supreme Court cases vindicate my Husband.

MY OPINION

Rogerson, I am calling on you to Resign or be Fired from the Public Defender’s Office for failing to uphold Federal Sixth Amendment Constitutional protections and among other constitutional protections for the benefit of my husband (Jeff).  Why: You’re a disgrace to the Federal Public Defender’s Office!

It is beyond belief that you (Rogerson) couldn’t even do four simple things from the time assigned on Jeff’s case back in November 2023 through 4/4/2024, until you resigned from Jeff’s case 4/5/2024. 

Four simple request by alleged Defendant Jeff Moffatt were as follows:

1).  Provided a Certified copy of Grand Jury Transcripts; 

2).  File a Pretrial Motion (Motion to Stay), since open Appeal in another Federal Court since 6/19/2020;

3).  Submit a Motion for Bail Modification, because one Bail condition  conflicts with the Bail Reform Act;

4).  Provide “Certified Copies” of Arrest Warrants: Doc 3 issued 7/23/2021 and Doc 17 issued 9/3/2021; 

Above  four requests Jeff has been asking for since  2021, from  Public Defender#1 Nadadur who also resigned from the alleged Indictment case against Jeff.  

Court of Pubic Opinion Comments:

Beyond grateful that many True Americans took the time out of their busy day and reviewed the Video-Audio of Verbal  & Mental Abuse induced by Rogerson against my (hubby) and here are a few of many Public Opinion comments:

  • “She is a real piece of work! Nice she admits that she doesn’t have time to work on his case, (not important to her!) until January, yet wont file for continuance past May! This is really a horror show at Jeff’s expense sorry to say.” – Lori
  • “I would be dumping that public pretender.   Jeff should be mentoring these newbie public pretenders and getting paid for it!” – Aron
  • “Wow I can hear the frustration and Jeff’s voice, but he handled himself very well and I understand what hes trying to say by saying that they should use her inexperience to his advantage but she seems to be too prideful to want to do that.   What a nightmare.  She should be taking advantage of his experience not working against it.” – Kathy
  • This sounds like it has something to do with race & wealth!  Black folks have been stripped of their Generational wealth ever since I could remember.  Just think back when we as a people thrived during the times of Black Wall Street Once the courts and guardians spend or force you to spend up your wealth defending yourself you are left with nothing, which is all to be designed. 
The system may see Jeff guilty by association to whom he is married to Star Moffatt, a Black Woman.  It’s not hard to believe racists practices still goes on in today’s society. Too bad those same corrupt officials can’t be arrested and put on trial for their seemingly racist antics and old school mentality.  Times have changed but not much.  Black folks continue to have to work twice as hard giving 100% of themselves while they can get by and shine with 10% 🤷🏽‍♀️. I’m going to continue to follow this saga and hopefully the system  recognizes that it is truly broken and being indifferent to Jeffrey Moffatt, his wife Star and their entire family. – Annie Mae
  • “They need to throw that bogus nonsense out!” –  Maria

Conclusion:  

True American friends and family, the above is how you document “Ineffective Assistance of Counsel,” along with hiring a PR Media Company like Moffatt Media, to assist in gathering and preserving evidence for you or your loved ones, to protect one’s safety & freedoms!

Now to you  Rogerson, congratulations you are now a textbook case of what a Rookie (Newbie) should NOT do straight out of law school.

Remember, as of 4/5/2024 Rogerson is asking the court to come off the case and the entire Federal Defenders office, as a direct result of the videos due to the outpouring support by True American’s  not afraid to speak up and out on: X formerly Twitter and YouTube.

Our gratitude extends also to the other True Americans that have shown support by sending emails, text and your many phone calls.  

The same appreciation if you have read thus far, in hearing our own temporary “Life Bump Story,” knowing that GOD is almighty and GOD will intercede on his timing, to expose the truth behind why my husband is wearing “Shoes of Injustice.” 

Finally note, and now imagine if the above can happen to a 20 year Federal Attorney and too mean my husband, can you imagine what happens to alleged defendants that are not legally trained and do not know their rights?

Jeff Fortenberry Community Service in Lieu of Prison? Due to Biden’s Failure

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.

Military Veteran No Vote for Lisa McClain Congressional Representative

INTERVIEW BY MOFFATT MEDIA WITH MILITARY VETERAN

Moffatt Media, Palmdale, California
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Updated 5/21/2022, Saturday

Interview by Moffatt Media, Voting Insights with Randy Hayes, U.S. Military Veteran, says Vote “NO” for Lisa McClain for (2022) Congress.

Veteran Hayes said he will also be encouraging other Military Veterans to Vote “NO,” for Lisa McClain, during her upcoming  Congressional Reelection Campaign.

Moffatt Media: Randy, why are you voting “NO” for Lisa McClain Congressional Rep.?
Randy Hayes: I reached out to McClain’s Michigan and Washington DC Congressional Offices.   Because I was asking for Veterans Assistance and  was told that their offices weren’t able to help me even though I am a Military Veteran and live in her district.

I was only asking for Lisa McClain, Congressional Rep. to make a Congressional Inquiry to assist me with Visiting my Mother (Betty Hayes).  Since the Michigan Wayne County Probate Court, is causing Age Discrimination against my Mother.

My Mother is a protected class member under the Older Americans Act.  From what I have learned the Michigan Probate Court can’t discriminate against my Mother, who is age 87, while in receipt of Federal monies. 

Now back to Congressional Rep. McClain, all I wanted from her was to assist me as a Veteran, but both her Michigan and Washington D.C. offices claimed they couldn’t help me!

It’s really sad when McClain Congressional Rep. was not even willing to make a telephone call on my behalf as a Military Veteran.   Guess I was wrong to think that McClain Congressional Rep. provided Veteran Services.

I have no criminal record and I have never been arrested.    Again, how hard would it be for Congressional Rep. McClain to even make a simple telephone call to the Court, regarding visitations with my mother?
 
Moffatt Media: Randy, what military branch did you serve in?
Randy Hayes: I served in the Marine Corps Reserve from 1982-1988 and I missed Desert Storm.  From 1992-1995, I was in the Navy Seabees.

Moffatt Media: Randy why did you join the military?
Randy Hayes: I wanted to serve my country and be the best.

Moffatt Media: What age were you when you joined the Military?
Randy Hayes: 18

Moffatt Media: Randy you mentioned that you will be encouraging other Military Veterans to VOTE NO for Congressional Rep. McClain, what steps are you taking to spread the word, vote no on McClain?
Randy Hayes: I am a member of The American Legion, Post 351, Member of The Marine Corps League and I have over 2,000 friends on Facebook, who are mostly military veterans, that I will encourage them to VOTE NO for Ms. McClain.

Moffatt Media: Randy do you have any final words?
Randy Hayes: I have in the past supported Congressional Rep. McClain and  listened to too many of her speeches. Now I will gladly go to Ms. McClain’s opponents to discuss how she has no regard for supporting Veterans.  Because  Ms. McClain has the power to assist me and my mother with a simple telephone call due to the outrageous actions by the Wayne County Probate Court.

It’s time to stand up for those that have lost their “Elder Rights” by the Michigan Wayne County Probate Court.

Congresswoman McClain’s office had no immediate comment.
