But the FBI doesn’t assign a team to go through them to look for discrepancies. They save that for politicos they are looking to bust.
Vast majority of people who do what Mosley did on her forms get away with it. That’s most people who bought homes to rent out on AirBnb. But they don’t get caught because there’s no one to crack down on it.
So yeah, she broke the law. But she’s was also targeted for special scrutiny by law enforcement.
Most of the Americans who lie on their mortgage forms don't have jobs that center on upholding the law. Mosby very clearly thought the law didn't apply to her.

Sure. If you want to be in the public eye you should expect that level of scrutiny. Similarly Trump probably wouldn’t be facing a fraud trial in NY right now if he wasn’t President. As with anyone though, if you don’t want to do the time then don’t do the crime.
As for Mosby, she most certainly is going to prison. I’d guess a sentence less than 3 years and probably serves only 12 months.

+100, lots is people lie or make mistakes on their mortgage application. Big deal. The money seems to come from her own retirement fund, so this was unnecessary.

Now, she actually did commit mortgage fraud. Egregiously. But its very, very common and typically no one ever picks up on it because no one has an incentive to pull the documents & verify. There's so many mortgages originated every month that the burden is too high to check.
In short, she got unlucky. She was high profile and federal prosecutors were already going through her life with a fine-toothed comb.
Like they do to every White politician?

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