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 suspect the mortgage lender discovered the rentals. IT would not be uncommon for the mortgage lender to discover this either on line or by driving by the properties. Typically the mortgage lender gets the FBI involved due to the fraud.
Read the whole thread. The mortgage lender didn’t discover this, the Maryland AG was looking into all of their finances.
“She and her husband, City Council President Nick Mosby, have been under federal investigation since at least February 2021, when the FBI issued subpoenas tied to their financial records
I'm not buying that this investigation was some kind of standard due dilligence- they had a hard on for her since Gray case and took them a while but they got her.
The probe began after a city investigation into her travel by Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming. Mosby requested the investigation herself, after she was criticized for failing to clear travel paid for by third parties, such as nonprofits, with Baltimore’s spending board. Cumming’s OIG report faulted her, but City Solicitor Jim Shea said in a legal opinion that the city’s policy on third party travel funding was unclear.”

Having absolute power of the law to use against other people corrupts many- it is more common that you know. For example,
* the cops with the Central Park Five who didn't even cross match DNa from a rape in the same location from 2 days prior
* the FBI who didnt follow up on the USA Gymnast's FBI complaint against the team MD
* the Secret Service deleting their texts sent during a coup attempt
* the 9/11 commission not releasing to the American people - and the 9/11 victim families the names of the Saudis who financed the high
jackers
* DAs in both VA and PA releasing the name publicly of persons under sealed indictment ( ground for disbarment )
on and on and on

Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby defeated in primary
Marilyn Mosby, a high-profile prosecutor who aligned herself with criminal justice reformers but ended up with legal problems of her own, has lost the Democratic primary for Baltimore state’s attorney to Ivan Bates, a defense attorney.
Baltimore is heavily Democratic, and there is no Republican candidate in the race. Roya Hanna is an unaffiliated candidate who has filed to run in November’s general election.
“Today, Baltimore decided it was time for a change,” Bates wrote on Twitter. “An enormous thank you to all of my supporters. I recognize that the job of helping build a safer Baltimore is a tremendous challenge. I am ready to lead — and to work with collaborators of all stripes to help make that a reality.”
Mosby, who was a two-term incumbent, rose to national prominence in 2015 when she pursued criminal charges against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man who suffered a spinal injury after police handcuffed, shackled and placed him headfirst into a van. His death triggered riots and protests. None of the officers was convicted.

Mortgage lenders are not driving by & staking out properties to determine if they are rented out within the first year of purchase. What are you smoking?
They do. We purchased a house years ago but didn’t move in immediately. The mortgage company called after six weeks and wanted us to know our moving date.

It is treated vey seriously by the FBI and by mortgage lenders. She lied to get cheaper rates and less of a down payment on the rental units (that she said were second home use only, not rentals.
Applications for investment properties are tougher to get approved for loans.

She intentionally committed mortgage fraud. The FBI is always involved in these investigations.
Mortgage companies are pretty savvy in researching this fraud. Given the proliferation of AirBnb's etc in the Orlando area it would not surprise me if the mortgage company discovered the nightly rental of the unit either through high tech on line research or old school drive by research of the properties.
She should be disbarred.

I believe the husband earned about $136,000 per year. Between the two of them they were earning close to $400,000 per year which is really big money in Baltimore.
I've had three employees who owed back taxes to the IRS. They owed small amounts of money like $800. The IRS were on them aggressively. They got letters in the mail about every 3 weeks and penalties and interest kept accruing until the employees met with the IRS.
No way did the Mosby's not know about their tax bill.

Don’t play the race card here just because several black elected officials in Baltimore and elsewhere have broken the law in similar fashion. Nobody forced them to scam the system for their own personal gain.
She should be ashamed. She and her husband.
Today in metro Detroit, a white guy county prosecutor in is headed to trial for 10 felony counts. He at least had the dignity to resign.

Oh please - you think that’s bad? The serving Attorney General for South Dakota murdered someone and got away with a parking ticket. Didn’t resign or step aside either.
