She’s been on the outs at least since she indicted so many cops for Freddie Gray murder and couldn’t make them stick. Pretty remarkable, really.
She and husband have been living separate lives for years. There was a fascinating profile about their relation in the NYT maybe 5 yrs ago.

Not certain if my facts are in order or not, but shouldn’t there have been a credit check to confirm there were no liens? Moreover, why is it that as of 2017 tax liens are no longer a part of one’s credit record. In my eyes mine and I’m speaking of mine whenever one is delinquent and money is due to the issuer (federal government) it’s reported to the credit bureau. Some examples are student loans, child support and other delinquent debts. So how was she able to purchase not 1 but 2 properties, because I couldn’t without a clean report. I’m just asking? Someone please provide some clarity. I’m a little slow. Thanks!

This is what blows my mind: "Marilyn Mosby faces a maximum of 30 years in federal prison for making a false mortgage application. In the perjury case, she faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for each of the two federal counts."

I'm assuming she won't get anywhere near that amount of time, but still, these prison terms seem insane to me. What am I missing?

It's a political witch hunt. The DINOs in Maryland are looking to punish someone.

Cry me a river. She’s just another politician who feels entitled.

Add in that she was incompetent and a diva who traveled with an entourage.

Oh I guarantee the feds were like, "We know you're involved in a lot of shady stuff, but we're only gonna charge you with these two things, which we can easily prove. Take the L and disappear."

Worked for Spiro Agnew.

It’s not that she took the money, it’s what she used it for, which is different from what she certified died on her documents.

Do you have any evidence of this? Sounds like her prosecution is anything but political.

It's also pretty amazing that a person who made nearly $250,000/year relied upon a federal public defender.

That caught my eye, too. I didn't realize that she made $250k, but she was either so broke that she couldn't afford real attorneys to fight prosecution that could disbar her and render her unable to practice law or she simply was too cheap and didn't care if she practiced law again. My friend thinks she pissed off all the good attorneys in Bmore and no one wanted to represent her.

She simply doesn't seem very bright. Hard to believe she became Baltimore City's top prosecutor.

She quickly ran out of money. Legal fees can be ruinous. Her husband is in trouble for tax evasion charges as well and as a family they are on the ropes.

Yesterday was merely phase one in the prosecutions against her. She was convicted of perjury for claiming hardship for her side business as impaired so as to withdraw retirement funds held by the City for her account. She faces future charges for mortgage fraud and possibly for tax evasion. While her prosecution is political she should have had some awareness Democrats increasingly viewed her as a political liability and should have been exceedingly careful.

Add to this the fact that they are divorcing, though maybe that is a strategic move to protect funds?

I’ll have to go back and fact check myself on this, but I read that she either fired, or was fired by a couple other rounds of attorneys. A public defender was her last and remaining option.

Mosby's first lawyer withdrew from the case after he narrowly avoided criminal contempt charges over his conduct during the run-up to the trial. The judge then appointed a federal defense attorney for Mosby to replace him.

All the criminals she opened the jailhouse doors for believe it.
