Another Democrat gets indicted

[Stinky The Clown]

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby. She's the one who charged the cops in the Freddie Gray death several years ago. The charges were all dropped. Ever since, it has been clear someone is unhappy she pissed in their cornflakes.

Now this.

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby indicted on federal charges she lied on financial transactions to buy homes in Florida



A federal grand jury has indicted Baltimore’s top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby on charges of perjury and making false statements with a series of financial transactions that helped her buy a condo on Florida’s Gulf Coast and another property near Orlando, Florida.

Mosby, 41, is charged with falsely claiming to suffer financial hardship from the coronavirus to obtain an early withdrawal from her retirement savings to purchase the homes. In addition, federal prosecutors allege she lied on a mortgage loan application by hiding an outstanding federal tax debt. And they accuse her of entering into an agreement to rent out a home she bought in Kissimmee, near Disney World, while at the same time promising not to rent the property — all to obtain a lower interest rate.

The cloud of indictment has loomed over Mosby for nearly a year, since federal prosecutors issued subpoenas in March for a wide range of financial records from her and her husband, City Council President Nick Mosby. Marilyn Mosby is now charged with four felonies that could bring prison time, even as her election for a third term looms in June.
Federal prosecutors have not accused Nick Mosby of wrongdoing.

The charges are pretty serious with a big penalty looming. My gut tells me she's guilty, but that's just a feeling.

But damn . . . . what a shitty stretch of news.

1. If only Trump had lied to the banks.

[lagomorph777]

7. Or to the IRS.

Just imagine the consequences!

[dem4decades]

12. So the Feds investigate a Democrat but it's up to NY to investigate Trump? why have faith in

this country?

[lagomorph777]

13. Yeah, leave the really big Federal cases to the states to handle.

Not very encouraging.

2. I think they've been looking for a way to punish her for her...

indictments of cops for the Freddie Gray murder. I mean who tracks whether someone rents out a second home while they're not there?

Someone who's out to get you.

3. I agree with you. She's had a target on her back ever since then.

It takes VERY LITTLE foil on one's head to connect this to cops, cop supporters, a group like the Oaf Keepers, and someone staying very close to the course of her personal life.

11. I'm sorry, but *nope*. She may have charged those cops, but she id it in such

a way that EVERYONE knew they were gonna walk...and they DID. Each one of them. She screwed the investigation. Her husband is the city council president and they have been up to sketchy shit, this mortgage bullshit being the tip of the iceberg, but a black and white "letter of the law" violation, so it's an easy charge.

There might be campaign violation charges forthcoming s well, and she RAILROADED, and I do mean straight up RAILROADED an ASA, calling them the leak to the Gun Task Force saga, and then using campaign funds to pay an attorney to go after the unjustly fired ASA.

She is vile, plain and simple

5. She lied blatantly. Committed perjury.

Do we excuse this kind of thing now?

[madville]

14. It's more than that

She is also accused of lying to pull money out of her tax-deferred retirement accounts under a program to ease financial hardship due to the coronavirus, but she used the money as down payments on two Florida vacation properties.

4. If any republican gets caught doing that, then they should be prosecuted

[BlackSkimmer]

6. Yes, I dislike this double standard.

Smh.

[Baltimike]

8. She is as sketchy as the day is long and Baltimore AND every Democrat

should be happy to be rid of her.

Check my handle.

Right is right and wrong ain't nowhere.

[msfiddlestix]

9. It just boggles the mind, why any elected official in public service think they can get away with

this kind of thing.

[brooklynite]

10. So the Biden DOJ indicted her because someone is unhappy about her prosecution of police violence?
