It seems as if whenever a person of color allegedly breaks the law and is called out for it, the left immediately goes to their default position and calls the accuser(s) racist. If the person in question is not a person of color, but a leftist, then the default position decries the accusation as being politically motivated. In Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby's case, and in her opinion, to accuse her of a crime is both racist and politically motivated.
Mosby's lawyers filed a motion seeking to have the federal indictment alleging that she improperly received COVID relief funds and lied on mortgage applications for the purchase of two vacation homes in the free state of Florida, be thrown out. They argued that prosecutors were racially and politically motivated to ruin her career, who they described as a "young, progressive, Black, female elected official."
So Black women in political positions are judgment-proof?
The motion was filed on Friday last week in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. It seeks to have the federal indictment against Mosby dismissed on the basis of "selective or vindictive prosecution," and names Assistant U.S. Attorney Leo Wise alleging the "animosity" he has shown toward Mosby is "an example of a pattern and practice of engaging in similar conduct aimed at other Black officials." The other person named is U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, Erek Barron, who signed the indictment against Mosby.
"Since its inception, the prosecution against State’s Attorney Mosby has been driven by malicious personal, political, and even racial animus on the part of the prosecutors," lawyers for Mosby wrote, but offered no examples of this claim.
The lawyers continued, "The indictment returned against State’s Attorney Mosby is the culmination of a long-running crusade to ruin the political career of a young, progressive, Black, female elected official, led by a prosecutor who has repeatedly made financial contributions to the campaigns of her political opponents and led a prosecution team that engaged in intentionally reckless behavior that stonewalled any participation by State’s Attorney Mosby and failed to disclose exculpatory evidence to the Grand Jury."
The motion alleges the indictment was purposely timed to influence her June 2022 reelection prospects, but again, this is only speculation because contrary to popular belief of the left, nobody can read anyone's mind.
Mosby, 42, a two-term Democrat, of course, is Baltimore State's Attorney. She is charged with two counts of perjury [willfully lying under oath] and two counts of making false statements on loan applications.
She allegedly requested coronavirus-related withdrawals in the amounts of $40,000 and $50,000 from the City of Baltimore’s deferred compensation plans. The indictment said she falsely verified meeting at least one of the qualifications as defined under the CARES Act despite earning a gross salary of $247,956 in 2020.
Mosby is also accused of making false statements on loan applications for a $490,500 mortgage to purchase a home in Kissimmee, Florida, and for a $428,400 mortgage to purchase a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida, but allegedly failed to disclose that she and her husband Nick Mosby, Democratic president of the Baltimore City Council, also allegedly had unpaid federal taxes amounting to $45,022 and also that the IRS placed a lien against all property and rights to property for that amount. But Nick Mosby, who is also Black, has not been charged which has race-baiters scratching their collective heads.
Marilyn Mosby pleaded not guilty to all counts earlier this month.
The motion filed by Mosby's lawyers takes aim at Wise for contributing to the campaigns of Mosby’s Democratic primary opponents for state’s attorney in 2018, Ivan Bates and Thiru Vignarajah. However, two things can be true at the same time: Wise may have supported Bates and Vignarajah because he thought they were better candidates than Mosby, and also believed Mosby is guilty as charged.
It also accused Wise of engaging in a "smear campaign" against Mosby, accusing her office of leaking information about a federal investigation into the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force.
"When you don’t have the law or the facts on your side you claim that it’s a witch hunt, you point fingers back at the prosecutors, that’s not uncommon," Vignarajah, a former federal prosecutor, told Fox 45.
That tactic can be seen in "Rules for Radicals," by Saul Alinsky.
In Rule Number 5 it states: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
The Left loves that rule.
