A federal grand jury in Maryland has indicted Marilyn Mosby, the state's attorney for Baltimore City, on two counts of perjury and making false statements on mortgage applications that she allegedly used toward the purchase of two vacation properties in Florida, according to a case unsealed Thursday.
Mosby gained national prominence after filing charges against the six officers who arrested 25-year-old Freddie Gray in 2015. His death while in police custody led to several days of protests and at times violent unrest in Baltimore. None of the officers were eventually convicted on the charges.

The indictment alleges Mosby lied on federal loan applications, including one where she asserted she experienced "adverse financial consequences" in her position as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, while prosecutors say her gross salary of nearly $250,000 was never reduced in 2020. In fact, the indictment says Mosby's gross salary increased by nearly $10,000 between 2019 and 2020.
As a result of her relief application, Mosby received $36,000, which she used "toward a down payment for a vacation home in Kissimmee Florida" that she purchased in September 2020.
The indictment accuses Mosby of making false statements on applications for a mortgages of nearly $500,000 for the Kissimmee, Florida, home and a nearly $430,000 mortgage for a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida.
If convicted of the charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland said Mosby faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the two counts of perjury and a maximum of 30 years for each of the two counts of making false mortgage applications, though actual sentences for such crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties.

Mosby has not entered a plea to any of the charges and has not had her initial appearance scheduled as of Thursday evening.
A spokesperson for Mosby did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday evening.

Makes all that money but STILL feels the need for fraud. WTF is wrong with some people?
That is pretty much a rhetorical question..............
Mister, you just don't understand the value of Florida real estate. It's the only place the left can frolic freely without catching covid. Ripple riders and 'rona runners.
Federal prosecutors began investigating the notorious anti-cop state’s attorney and her husband, Nick Mosby, who is president of the Baltimore City Council, after the Baltimore inspector general released a report in February of 2021 that brought into question the state’s attorney’s travel, personal businesses, and gifts, The Washington Post reported.
Finally we'll see her where she belongs!
In June of 2020, Marilyn Mosby dismissed more than 600 pending criminal cases and announced that her office would no longer be prosecuting many misdemeanors.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently called the Baltimore state’s attorney a “big part of the problem” with skyrocketing violent crime in that city, The Washington Post reported.
“We have a prosecutor in Baltimore City who refuses to prosecute violent criminals and that’s at the root of the problem,” Hogan said.
Scum as DA's in the era of the left. One down and many more to go.
I seriously hope that scumbag poor excuse for a elected official is tried, convicted, and if found guilty, locked up for a few years, but her good bud Kamala Harris will probably arrange for a get out of jail free card and she'll walk.
I’m thinking she won’t do any jail time either. That’s just for us peons. She might end up with a new ankle bracelet that she has to sport for a bit.
There's hope. Kathleen Kane, (D, PA Attorney General) did eight out of twenty-four months for her deeds.
she experienced "adverse financial consequences" in her position as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, while prosecutors say her gross salary of nearly $250,000 was never reduced in 2020. In fact, the indictment says Mosby's gross salary increased by nearly $10,000 between 2019 and 2020.
I’m thinking she’s going to claim that she only got a 1% raise when she was expecting at least 3%, which was an adverse financial consequence. No sympathy here. Go to your prison cell for a few years and think about what you did.

But sister, how can she possibly be expected to squeak by on a meager $250,000 salary, supplemented by whatever her husband is making? The struggle is real!
The cop-hating DA in happier days:
Financial corruption by elected officials is as old as the hills. I'm pretty sure it happened in ancient Rome.
And there are those who obviously should never be DAs!
hell, even before. Doesn't mean that when caught they shouldn't have to face the consequences.
That comment sounds like an excuse to accept corruption as acceptable behavior.
It's an excuse to accept corruption when a democrat is the corrupt one.
And that is the bottom line here….
I approve office holders being held legally accountable!
CARES Act Fraud Tracker | Arnold & Porter (arnoldporter.com)
The attached spread sheets through August of 2021 represent amounts as high as $14,000,000 in people trying to scam
the CARES ACT. They represent black, white, LAtinos, Christians, Muslims, citizens and non citizen
jerks that tried to defraud the government by taking advantage of the pandemic.
They represent the breadth of the political scale but you won't find that in a report of government supplied information.
The optimist in me recognizes that the Mosby's together or just Marilyn thought she was immune
to being a high quality target; Black female Democrat DA.
Cop hater ? get the fuck over yourselves, she did what any DA should have per Grey's death.
Now indicted she will have her day in court like the rest of the idiots on the attached list.
She will pay back the money, and maybe cut a deal to resign but keep her suspended law license.
In a few years she will run for something else and get elected because of Freddy Grey.
Just another partisan hit seed
That being said, I just read that one of the properties in Florida is an 8 bedroom multi floor, multi family rental
that experienced a dramatic lack of rentals during the pandemic.
The second Florida property is also a rental...isn't that the American way?
Makes sense, Maybe she has a point for her paltry $36,000 loan that might save her two investment properties?
Looks like the citizens of Baltimore got exactly what they voted for.
A prosecutor devoted to not pursuing criminal charges for marijuana possession, no matter the amount, no prostitution charges, no traffic charges, and no charges in other low level crimes.
A real law and order type gal!
Same as the DA in New York..................must be something about the salt air LOL
There are simply way too many "woke" idiots acting as DA's.
And loads too many idiots voting them into office.
Same here in Seattle, and yes too many idiots voting them into office whine about the conditions in the city, but disconnect when when it comes time to vote...
The new mayor, called by the talking heads as the Conservative candidate that won, is two steps to the left of Obama on the political scale... yeah, that passes for conservatism here in the Pacific Northwest...
It’s just as bad on the left coast. San Francisco, Alameda, Los Angeles counties have equally bad Soros bought DA’s.
The latter are just as much to blame…
A repeat anti-Semitic trope posted by the same member.
There is nothing anti Semitic about exposing Soros for the far left elite secular progressive socialist that he is. That he’s a secular Jew is no shield for him from criticism of his acts in the economic or political realm.
Your comment is BULLSHIT. Your repeated attacks and attempts to smear George Soros are totally anti-Semitic. Disgusting.
"The internet has once again exploded with a surge of social media posts about George Soros, with far-right activists and QAnon conspiracy theorists posting wildly imaginative claims related to the billionaire philanthropist. But behind the spectacle of paranoid outrage, there is a troubling and undeniable truth about the constant attacks on George Soros:
Anti-Semitism.
The Hungarian-born financier, whose philanthropic organization Open Society Foundations supports freedom and democracy initiatives in over 100 countries around world, is frequently accused of being a mastermind of international conspiracies. The countless unfounded claims against the successful Jewish businessman could fill books, all without any evidence of their truth. In fact, in the overheated political environment of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, they continue to grow.
A cursory read of conservative and far-right media would have you believe that Soros and his funding is behind Antifa, Black Lives Matter, violent protests, illegal immigration, fraudulent voting schemes and a myriad of other radical conspiracy theories. And of course, his detractors fume at his funding of democratic causes and candidates in state and federal elections across the country.
The most recent anti-Soros flare up appears to stem from an article in the conservative media outlet The Free Beacon. The controversy is focused on activities related to Soros’s Democracy Alliance donor network, which supports progressive candidates and causes, and in particular the network’s affiliated Strategic Victory Fund, a political action committee. The PAC, like similar initiatives on the conservative side of the political spectrum, seeks to influence voters through a range of educational and engagement tactics on the state level.
The fierce attacks on Soros come not only from conservative activists and media. He is frequently the target of conservative and Republican political leaders, including President Trump, who has used his Twitter account to make baseless claims against the financier. Soros has been called a Nazi by some of the President’s supporters (a claim retweeted by the President’s son, Donald Trump, Jr.) and even referred to as the “Antichrist” by Trump’s longtime advisor Rudy Giuliani.
The emergence of QAnon has also added fuel to the anti-Soros fire, with unfounded claims that Soros, as a “globalist,” is behind an international network of pedophiles and others who seek to defeat President Trump. The viral nature of QAnon and its conspiracy-minded followers is increasing the spread of misinformation, and fear, about Soros at an exponential rate.
So, if it isn’t facts that are driving the animosity towards Soros, what is it?
Anti-Semitism, plain and simple.
Soros’s critics barely hide their anti-Semitism anymore, frequently posting images of him with grossly distorted anti-Semitic features. The attacks also frequently reference, directly and indirectly, longstanding anti-Semitic theories from texts such as the Elders of Zion that claim Jews are running an international cabal. The most perverse attacks on Soros relate to fraudulent claims that he was a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer. In fact, Soros’s family escaped persecution from the Nazis, who killed over 500,000 Hungarian Jews during World War II.
What is most troubling perhaps about the attacks on Soros is that they also reflect a growing wave of anti-Semitism in America and around the world. The Anti-Defamation League has called Soros conspiracy theories “ a gateway to anti-Semitism ” and noted the explosion of anti-Soros sentiment in the a wake of the George Floyd protests. The report also detailed a litany of anti-Soros pundits and provocateurs who traffic in false claims and inflammatory rhetoric. By giving oxygen to anti-Soros theories, these pundits not only do a disservice to the truth, but they fuel anti-Semitic hate and violence that is beginning to reach worrisome levels of pervasiveness in America.
Without question, there is a place for disagreement with any one individual’s politics, and Soros should not be immune to criticism. But the animosity against Soros goes far beyond criticism of any other billionaire funder of political efforts, and perhaps beyond all of them put together. The truth is there is only one sordid reason for why attacks on George Soros are constantly trending, and it is not because of his money or his politics.
It is because he is Jewish."

Hmmm XX...Just got awful quiet, didn't it.
I don't think anyone gives a shit that Soros is Jewish. Hell, I don;t think many people KNOW he is Jewish.
Just an excuse to toss out accusations and insults to someone.
It got quiet because everyone gets sick of his batches of bullshit.
Everyone knows Soros is Jewish so saying people don't know is a copout...
There is an ignore button that can be used.
And you don't have to go on his seeds.
The only reason why I knew he is Jewish is because the number of liberals kept bringing it up and accusing everyone of anti semetism.....simply because we think Soros is a crook.
Then don't complain if/when it gets quiet...
This was his seed?...
Exactly. Nothing he can say changes the that fact that it's an anti-Semitic trope. He was called out for using that same anti-Semitic trope before. He knows exactly what he is doing. He was also suspended recently for racially taunting another member.
The fascists do. Read the article.
If you can show me where i was complaining i’ll readily admit you are right, but you can’t. I was merely pointing out there is an ignore button so one can ignore certain comments rather than sit there and bitch about them.
Then maybe you should direct your comment to the people that were complaining. Ya know, where it would belong...
That would be too easy...
Actually it is easy, which is why his and several others barely get over 10 comments anymore, usually their own...
It got quiet because everyone gets sick of his batches of bullshit.

So I was not responding to anyone else...Yeah sure. Sell that shit elsewhere.
I answered why it got quiet. Don't like the answer, don't complain to begin with then try to blame others.
Go there, find out.

Truth hurt?

If you think posting my own comment would be embarrassing, you have no clue.
That is the bottom line here…
And one of the sources I used that was critical of Soros is Jewish owned too. Soros ethnic background is not a shield that those who like his politics or economics can hide his record behind and label all criticism of his actions anti Semitic. Just like Obama worshippers couldn’t play the race card to protect him from all criticism of his actions in office or running for it.
I didn’t do that and that was pure bs. I simply threw Trump in his face during an argument, nothing more. There was no racial intent. Period.
He is a secular progressive fascist himself
He was right about all that he wrote.
I’m thinking about doing likewise.
Yes please.
You were suspended for racially taunting a member. Period.
That is an idiotic comment.
I’ll pass for now.
No, it’s exactly right. Soros is a face of evil in our world today.
What I said in 9.1.37 stands and is correct. What I got suspended for is something that I categorically did not do. Period.
The face of evil is worn by those who propagate anti-Semitic tropes.
You're the last person anyone would believe. Your credibility on here is zero. I believe responsible individuals, [removed]
Redding California Refuses to Open a Warming Shelter for Her Least Fortunate
With Christmas just days gone by, you would thing Redding and Shasta County Supervisors would have more compassion for the homeless in our community. The Good News Rescue Mission, 3100 South Market Street, the only nighttime shelter we have is reportedly kicking out homeless seeking shelter for the most nominal of offenses. Several can be seen sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the mission.
Redding Homeless Blog: Redding California Refuses to Open a Warming Shelter for Her Least Fortunate
So is the shelter open and kicking people out for nominal offenses or is it closed?
You really shouldn't ape the progressive liberals here with all their idiotic talk of fascists.
No need to lower yourself.
Oh, FFS.
Criticism of a Jew isn't always anti-Semitic.
No more than criticism of a woman is misogyny.
Idiots who always play those cards have made the phrases practically meaningless by using it wrongly so often.
You don't know what you're talking about. As usual, you don't let the facts stand in your way.
Actually, I do.
But thanks for showing you didn't understand my post.
No, you don't.
Boring.
Yes, you are. And tiresome. Go troll someone else.
If you think that any criticism of a Jew is anti-Semitic, and any criticism of a woman is misogyny, then what FACTS are you dreaming about?
Get back to me when you understand my post.
Until then, do take the last boring words.
Like the Colleyville Police Chief meant no harm tonight when he said "the jew synagogue".
I can accept that he was nervous and misspoke on live tv
but I am also old enough to expect that he will blame the Jews that put a synagogue there...
and that he says Jews a lot more than he says Jewish.
It is when they constantly bring up his Jewishness
it's a pretty simple deduction.
My post you are responding to:
with THAT?
W-h-a-t????
Then perhaps it is high time ya'll stopped.
And the idiots insist that criticizing Soros is anti-Semitic.
Seems like you can't criticize any person on the left.
If it is a woman, then you are a misogynist.
If the person is of color, then you are racist.
Pretty convenient when you declare all criticism is an attack on the person's race, sex, religion, or heritage.
But that is the type of people we are dealing with.
It was and is open and it is a faith based ministry so it has rules it expects people to abide by as a condition of staying there. The county and city have little influence there. The city is looking into creating micro housing for the homeless. Some should get a clue before criticizing another’s home town.
You summed them up perfectly. Well said!
I can only imagine how many millions of people who make far less than $250K (plus perks) wish they had her "financial hardships".
Funny how so many Dems choose Florida as their vacation destinations!

What else would one expect of such a hypocrisy afflicted collection of lousy people? Rules for thee but not for me is their collective motto.
“The indictment accuses Mosby of making false statements on applications for a mortgages of nearly $500,000 for the Kissimmee, Florida, home and a nearly $430,000 mortgage for a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida.”
and no doubt she has a home in baltimore too. There’s your problem, lady. So, how is she supposed to afford all this, that she soooooo deserves on a paltry 250k a year? I think she went into the wrong line of work, she should have gone into a leadership position with blm.
One of those Florida homes has 8 bedrooms. She and her husband have only two kids. Why does a family of four need eight bedrooms in a vacation home? I can understand the ultra-rich having lavish things like that, but she's only a state DA.
Probably needs it as a rental property to supplement their meager household income!
LOL!
This isn't Mosby's first rodeo in shady dealings. Read the Controversy and Complaint against media sections in this link:
As expected, Mosby and her lawyer pull that good old race card defense ...
When will we see her tax returns?
Don't hold your breath!
I don’t think that any of us will do that!
