Alternative interpretation: corruption isn't tolerated

She's in trouble for taking her own money out of deferred comp? The tax isn't due yet on it so how has she committed a crime? I predict this will go away.

Looks like the real issue is that she claimed to have no debts and there is a tax lein on the house. Public agencies take a very dim view of tax debt.

Who'd she and hubby piss off?

Baltimore is a corrupt, democrat run, cesspit. How many mayors and othereasers have been indicted over the last 20 years? Lol, I still remember all of those photos of SRB in Arizona at all sorts of fancy restaurants and balls or whatever. She was using campaign funds for her nice exclusive getaway. Oh, and then you had mayor Pugh who was indicted for fraud. Pugh barely beat out contender Sheila Dixon who was also indicted for stealing from children.


Lol, Baltimore is a wasteland.

Lied about her finances? Gee, Trump did that all the time and Republicans insist there's no crime in him doing that.

She is INNOCENT until proven guilty

If this is true, this is stunningly stupid. I have no idea if there is any "inside baseball" going on, but requesting a COVID economic hardship, let alone the other thing she is accused of. As a City Attorney earning her full pay? Yes, innocent until proven guilty, but smh if true.

She apparently used the Covid money as downpayments for the two properties in Florida.

According to court documents, Mosby allegedly lied when citing coronavirus hardship as a reason to make withdraws from her city retirement account. Mosby allegedly certified that she met at least one qualification for distribution under the CARES Act and "affirm[ed] under penalties for perjury the statements and acknowledgments made in this request."

She allegedly requested two one-time withdrawals of $40,000 and $50,000 out of her city retirement account, resulting in deposits of $36,000 and $45,000 into her bank account. The court documents allege that Mosby used the money for down-payments on two separate vacation homes in Florida.

The indictment states that Mosby did not experience any adverse financial consequences from the coronavirus pandemic, and received her full salary of $247,955.58 from Jan. 1, 2020 all the way through Dec. 29, 2020.

On two occasions, according to court documents, Mosby also lied on two mortgage applications, allegedly failing to disclose that she had unpaid federal taxes from a number of years and the IRS had placed a $45,022 lien against all property that Mosby and her husband owned.

She's evidently running for State Attorney again. Five months away.
Voters will probably elect her again. This is Baltimore.

Baltimore is a solid democrat machine-town. Jobs for votes. That’s how it works in Baltimore.

The corruption’s been there a century at least.

Remember Tommy D’Alesandro and his son? (both mayors).

No? Maybe you remember the daughter, Nancy Pelosi? Corruption begets power in Baltimore, then power begets power.

Even Martin O’Malley had to marry his way into the machine; his wife is the daughter of a former dem state’s attorney (who was one of the stupidest lawyers I ever met).

I don’t like her but she is looking at 30 years? That is too long. I think she taxing guidelines are crazy because you either have zero time or 30 years?

Even the criminals know that the crimes they commit should be punished....

A man who pleaded guilty to burning his ex-girlfriend’s house down with her in it and faced just one criminal charge, says plea deals like his are sending the wrong message to criminals in Baltimore.

Luther Trent pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree arson after setting the home of his ex-girlfriend, Alexis, on fire in May 2021. He also faced three counts of attempted homicide since Alexis and her two roommates were home sleeping at the time of the fire.

“I went to the side of the house and poured gasoline on the side of the house,” Trent said. “The love of my life is in Baltimore. I know where she lives at and I can’t even talk to her. Can’t say nothing to her. In my head, it was some Romeo and Juliet type of thing – if I can’t have you, no one can have you, at least in Baltimore.”

Trent said he was equally as surprised to get released from custody.

“I was just charged with 18 different counts, that was dropped to 10, that was dropped to one. When I shouldn’t be out right now. I disrupted somebody’s life. I traumatized somebody because of how I felt in a situation,” Trent said. “Personally, yes, I want to be out but, principally, no I shouldn’t be out because I could have done a lot more damage than I did. I was expecting to get time; people who were in that situation, they should expect to get time.”

Trent was asked if the plea deal he got – and perhaps the others offered to people in Baltimore – send the wrong message to the community of Baltimore, a city that continues to grapple with violent crime and a homicide count that’s surpassed 300 for seven straight years.

“Oh yes, most definitely,” he said.

“That tells anybody that ‘I can go shoot somebody or I can attempt to shoot somebody, and I’ll be completely fine,'” Trent said. “It would empower me because I would be like, okay, this man just shot somebody, just blew his head off and he’s just out walking free. I can do anything I want. I can rob somebody, I can shoot somebody, I can do anything I want.”

When asked about the plea deal, a spokesperson for Mosby's Office said the agreement was given based on a lack of criminal background.

She made $250k and great benefits plus likely a free car — and presumably her husband made $100k (?) and free car at city council? How in the world can you be in tax delinquency on those salaries and fringe benefits in freakin’ Baltimore? Genuine 1-percenters. Drug or gambling addiction? Doesn’t make any sense.

I doubt it was her idea to buy the houses. Sounds like a male’s brainstorm.
