Department of Defense official charged with running dog fighting ring

A Department of Defense official has been charged with dog fighting, according to records unsealed by the Justice Department on Monday night.

Fredrick D. Moorefield Jr. -- who serves as the deputy chief information officer for command, control and communications -- allegedly engaged in dog fighting under the code name "GeeHad," according to a statement from the Maryland U.S. Attorney's office.

"Moorefield … and [his] associates used [an] encrypted messaging application to discuss how to train dogs for illegal dogfighting, exchanged videos about dogfighting, and arranged and coordinated dogfights," the statement read.

"Moorefield … also discussed betting on dogfighting, discussed dogs that died as a result of dogfighting, and circulated media reports about dogfighters who had been caught by law enforcement. As further alleged in the affidavit, Moorefield … also discussed how to conceal [his] conduct from law enforcement."

In one instance in 2018, the DOJ alleges that Moorefield disposed of two dogs who had been killed on his Maryland property that had wounds consistent with dog fighting.

Officials eventually linked Mooerfield to the dead dogs by identifying a piece of mail located with the dogs' bodies, authorities said.

The agent who filed the complaint alleges that Moorefield "sponsored" the dogs in a dog fight.

Moorefield was allegedly involved in a larger dog fighting conspiracy called DMV Kennels, in what reassembled some sort of dog fighting league, the DOJ said in its statement.

Prosecutors say they found "multiple" photographs, taken in March 2023, that show dogs in cages and wearing weighted collars -- all hallmarks that are consistent with dog fighting training.

Meanwhile, at least 12 dogs were seized between two properties belonging to Moorefield and his co-defendant, a barber who was also charged with dog fighting.

Now take down the people in the military who poisoned THE ENTIRE US MILITARY with a vaccine that the knew caused heart problems, strokes and miscarriages... then get back to me. The most evil psychopaths are running our country. Don’t expect thing to get better until these folks clear out the Epstein client list. I wonder if there is anyone in Homeland, NSA, DOJ, or FBI who actually wants to have grand kids and live a good life. PSYCHOPATHS ARE RUNNING THE COUNTRY and they are killing and our kids... maybe we should stop rigging elections.

No surprise, he’s a black guy. For some reason blacks tend to be the most enthusiastic demographic for the so-called “blood sports,” with dog fighting way up there.

You can take the person out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the person. Even after many generations.

After the fair trial, of course.

“Oklahoma has been called “the cockfighting capital of the United States” — top 10, baby — and reports claim that thousands of roosters have been shipped to other parts of the globe where cockfighting remains popular and prominent.”

I want to bless everyone’s heart on this post, so far.
In fact, it is so racist, that I believe some of you are Feds.
I wonder If this stereotype is related to our fellow Americans being threatened and hunted with big mean dogs a long time ago.
Love,
Me
