Sturgis Podmore was convicted of trespassing at the MOM. If we believe
Ron's account of how this happened, Malfoy put him under Imperius
Curse. But Podmore had invisibility cloak, so how could this happen? I
suggest that Mad eye is how it happened. He is the only character we
are told who can see through invisibility cloaks, should we believe
that Malfoy got a lucky shot off with the Imperius Curse? I don't
think so. It would be almost impossible to cast a curse on someone you
could not see, so how could Malfoy do it to Podmore? It is simple
really, he could not do it. The only person who could do it is Mad eye
Moody. But wait you may say "Mad eye has fought against dark wizards
all his life". To this I would reply "He got tried of fighting and
decided a despot is what the WW needs".  Why would Malfoy use the
Imperius Curse on a hunch in a building full of Arurors? He wouldn't.
At that time he had the ear of the minister and would not want to do
anything that would damage his position, so he would not use the
Imperius Curse. For this reason I say Mad eye is a traitor. We do not
know what Moody does for the OoTP, so it is perfectly plausible that
he could be a traitor. Plus the fact that he was under Barty's
Imperius Curse for so long, he could know a Death eater's mind and
like it. Moody is the one to keep your eye on in the last two books. 

John who thinks Moody is a rat.
