Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby goes to default position: calls 'racism' to her indictment

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.

Baltimore State AG Marilyn Mosby sees a softer side to crime that should not be punished

Mosby angry over something 

Baltimore State Attorney General Marilyn Mosby announced the city is going to take a more gentle, less punitive approach to crime and no longer prosecute certain criminals for "low level" crimes like drug possession, prostitution, minor traffic offenses, and other "quality of life" crimes she finds less offensive.

The chronically angry Mosby had previously said the policy as a temporary measure supposedly designed to stem the flow of COVID-19 among cops and prison populations, and to also make Baltimore a more interesting place to survive. But now she claimed at a Friday press conference that the policy had served to lower violent crime in the city and proved that her vision of "criminal justice reform" worked. Thus, the policy is now permanent.

Perhaps if she criminalizes crime, the crime rate will drop even further. She claims that violent crime and property crime has decreased significantly, but that's more likely due to the decrease in arrests. 

In fact, the idea of defunding the police would show a similar drop in crime for that same reason, while criminals would make the streets look like a bad day in Metropolis.

But while the homicide rate is hard to fix [aka fudge], they fell only slightly from 2019 and that was an all-time high year for that statistic.

There should be no doubt about Mosby's feelings about the police in her city and in the nation. She has been a frequent and public critic of Baltimore police. But now she has claimed the police force was on board with her program of decriminalizing crime.

"Our understanding is that the police are going to follow what they've been doing for the past year, which is not arresting people based on the offenses I mentioned." She also claimed that police will work with a local non-profit to help Baltimore residents find help for problems like addiction to drugs, homelessness, window smashing, looting and gentle requesting of financial assistance from street donors.

Mosby's husband, Nick Mosby, is president of the Baltimore City Council, and the couple is widely believed to have higher political ambitions which do not exclude leaders of the world. That is, if they can successfully fight the charges leveled against them in a federal criminal investigation that has been opened by the United States Attorney's Office regarding the couple's finances. 

The government is reportedly investigating alleged tax and campaign finance improprieties and have huddled with Maxine Waters who they view as their mentor and financial guru.

Mosby was asked questions about the federal investigation during her press conference, but according to NBC News, she refused to answer those questions, preferring instead to discuss her new policies.

She was not led out in handcuffs and plans to decriminalize tax and campaign fraud in her proposed "green" new deal.
