Another newly launched criminal proceeding that is not getting much attention lately but which is very similar to the Biden administration’s witch hunt after James O’Keefe and Project Veritas is the September arrest of conservative attorney Jeffrey Moffatt. In 2016, Moffatt and his wife ran as Republicans for the state legislature and Congress in California, and as a result the Arizona State Bar, which has a lengthy history of targeting conservatives, went after Moffatt for a small infraction that blew up into arresting and prosecuting him when he fought back.
Unfortunately, the facts in Moffatt’s case are so complex and convoluted — the left deliberately uses complex methods to target conservatives through the legal system for that reason, something the right can’t do since the left dominates much of the legal system — that it’s not easy to get anyone to understand the corruption.
Basically, Arizona Bar disciplinary Judge Willam O’Neil — whose legal authority has been questioned by many, which no doubt led to him stepping down this year — issued a disbarment order against Moffatt over consensual flirting that appeared improper with a woman he didn’t know who lived in New Mexico. Moffatt hadn’t even practiced law in Arizona for years — more evidence the Arizona Bar reaches out to aggressively target conservative attorneys. Attorneys have done far more serious things, like sexual harassment, sex with clients, etc. and O’Neil merely gave them a slap on the hand.
But Moffatt is an easy target in this #MeToo era, and even though he brought up evidence showing the woman complained about him because she was trying to extort him, it didn’t matter, the left pounced on him in order to hold him up as an example of an evil conservative and destroy his chances at running for office — especially his wife’s chances since she is black, and we all know the left treats conservative minorities worse than white minorities.
The feds arrested Moffatt in September, on the ruse of claiming he had not disclosed to the Social Security Administration that he was disbarred. He’d continued his practice of representing clients trying to obtain disability status in front of the SSA, which didn’t require a bar license, and it was very obvious the SSA knew that he was disbarred because he sued them over it! Tellingly, Moffatt was not arrested until after Biden was in office and in control of the Department of Justice — even though they knew going back to 2018 when Moffatt was involved in litigation with the SSA over the disbarment.
The arrest was meant to shut him down from exposing how corrupt the Arizona Bar is. Most attorneys who are wrongly disciplined by the Bar keep their heads down because they’ve learned from previous attorneys who were targeted that the Bar will keep after them for years with its deep pockets to thoroughly destroy them, ruining their careers and reputations with horrible media coverage and massive financial punishment if they fight back or go public.
The reason the feds are going after Moffatt is simple: They are setting up an easy-to-get precedent (because he’s an unsympathetic target) to then use when going after other conservatives.
However, the left may regret overreaching. This is going to expose how corrupt the Arizona Bar is. There are plenty of conservative attorneys who have been disbarred solely because of their politics who will now go public. It will reveal how the Arizona Bar has gotten away with acting like a quasi-governmental agency with draconian power over attorneys, while asserting it is not open to public records laws because it’s private.
