[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They indicted her for taking hardship withdrawals from her own retirement account and for renting out a house that has a secondary home mortgage on it?  Geez, even if that technically qualifies as a crime, that seems like weak tea.[/quote]

Feds go harder after African-American elected officials (it's true). I can guarantee that others more prominent and powerful than her have done the same exact thing, but there's no probable cause to trigger a review of their finances. Feds definitely went on a fishing expedition for Mosby's finances. What triggered the probable cause?

I don't think anyone could survive this level of scrutiny.  One of the charges is that the mortgage agreement she signed had a provision in it that she would use it as a residence and wouldn't rent it out, but she in fact rented it out.  As anyone who has signed a mortgage knows, these agreements are dozens of pages long with dense text.  How many people actually read all of this, know what it says, and then comply with every clause in there?  [/quote]

Lots of UMC people invested in real estate buy a home, say its a primary residence, get the low 30 year rate, then rent it out within the first year. I mean, this is a pretty common practice, despite being illegal. I know LOTS of people who have done this. [/quote]
