As it is now, yes. But they can spin things and go after parts of the black community and even attack scrubs saying that, for instance being against lockdowns is a white supremacist action

Approval ratings for Dems are already low because of their efforts over the last couple of years. Even most staunch Democrat voters are tired of lockdowns and the restrictions. If they start calling a big chunk of their voting base white supremacist (especially the minority Dems), they'll never win another election, again.

They have clearly become the limousine liberals. I thought it was funny that my liberal friends were the biggest pushers of the lockdowns. Yet they were the ones who could work from home and had no kids.
Basically the dems lander to this 5% or so and has become entirely dependent upon them; their donations and social influence. All the while regular people are fed up with their crap and their use of idiots like andweallknow who throw out some nonsense to cover for all the government’s failures

 

[ElKarlo]

its a 3 d step process in lefty arguments:

deny
deflect
discredit

That all she ever brings to the table. @andnowweknow is basically an unfunny Toni. Brings the deflection and “derp what’s a Soros DA” and then runs away from any real discussion. It’s like the rittenhouse thread all the time everywhere with her

Never is a long time lol.

This reminds me of Democrats. We gots da demographics.

I'm old enough to guarantee flip flopping all the time. Simply because the Duopoly, god cop bad cops, democrats and republicans, dont serve you. they serve Wall Street leaving Main Street unhappy and ready for change.

Here's a protip. Invest in Wall Street you won't care who wins because you win either way.

 

[SanchoMF]

These woke DAs continue to find themselves in trouble. Kim foxx for trying to shut down the Juicy investigation. Kim Gardner in St. Louis being investigated at this time as well. Milwaukee DA under investigation as well

now Baltimore DA, Mosby, seems to have lied about COVID relief and was buying properties in Long Beach, the Orlando area, etc.

These people are hell bent on allowing crime because they are corrupt criminals themselves.




Hell, this is why you have the new NYC mayor giving his under qualified brother a plushy job making like 250k/year. They brazen about it too.

It'd be the time to lock up these whores.

 

[BearGrounds]

Baltimore is such a disaster, poor leader, democrat, leadership has absolutely ruined the city. It is a shame too, because Baltimore is right next to some of the wealthiest areas, per capita, in the world (The MD suburbs of DC like Howard County are the top counties in the country). Despite that and the opportunity associated with it, it has the 11th highest murder rate of major cities in the WORLD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate

I used to go to Baltimore all the time as a kid in the 80s and 90s and it was still a relatively safe place to go to and lots of stuff to do. But by like the early 2000s, me and everyone I knew would never want to go to fucking Baltimore. The city has a long history of corrupt democrats, driving the city into the ground, yet people keep voting them in. Several prominent leaders including multiple mayors, include two within a little more than a decade, multiple reps and city delgates. The first article below doesn't even include the most recent mayor, Pugh, so I added the second link... but both links don't cover the full extent of how awful the leadership of Baltimore has been.

The problem with Baltimore, as any well-meaning Democrat will tell you, is white supremacy.

Baltimore will turn around as soon as the white supremacists are rooted out, and systemic racism is ended for good.

It’s on like fucking Donkey Kong, dude. Mrs. months before her reelection campaign. There is going to be so much backlash from these Soros-funded civil workers.

Democratic DAs are going to get a shellacking during the next election. And the consequences of their actions (or lack thereof) will be swift.

Virginia’s new Attorney General has just fired the entire civil rights division in the AG office and announced that he will prosecute criminal cases in jurisdictions where Soros DAs decline to prosecute. He is also the first PoC Attorney General in Virginia history.

The left loves crime and corruption.

The right does, too.

Marilyn Mosby sentenced to year of home detention for perjury, mortgage fraud

Marilyn Mosby sentenced to year of home detention for perjury, mortgage fraud​

BALTIMORE — Former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was sentenced Thursday to one year of home detention for her perjury and mortgage fraud convictions, and ordered to forfeit her Florida condo.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby handed down a sentence of three years of supervised release, opting against sending Mosby to prison. Prosecutors had sought 20 months in prison.

Griggsby’s decision followed an approximately four-hour hearing during which prosecutors asked for prison time and Mosby’s lawyers requested probation.


While Mosby was state’s attorney when she perjured herself and committed mortgage fraud, Federal Public Defender James Wyda noted none of Mosby’s crimes related to her role in office. He said Mosby had been punished enough given she lost her job, likely stands to have her law license revoked and endured a grueling trial that put her private life into the limelight.

“Jail is not a just sentence for Ms. Mosby, her family or the community,” Wyda told Griggsby.

He also said that sending Mosby to prison would inflict “extraordinary trauma” on her daughters, citing letters the defense submitted from the children’s therapist and a scholar who wrote about the impacts on children when their mothers are incarcerated.

Maintaining her innocence, Mosby declined an opportunity to speak in court. Wyda said Mosby should not be penalized for pursuing legal rights.

“Ms. Mosby maintains her innocence. That is her right,” Wyda said. “Ms. Mosby will appeal her convictions. That is also her right. Ms. Mosby is pursuing a pardon. That is also her right.”

The public defender’s comments came after more than a dozen people testified in Mosby’s support.

Ahead of sentencing, Mosby made several appearances on news programs, professing her innocence while saying she was a victim of politically-motivated and biased prosecutions.

Earlier Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Delaney pointed out several of Mosby’s public statements in an effort to label the former prosecutor as a liar who lacks remorse for her crimes.

“Marilyn Mosby is unremorseful. She has no regard for the truth,” Delaney told Griggsby, who ultimately will determine Mosby’s punishment.

Separate federal juries convicted Mosby of perjury and mortgage fraud after two trials held in Greenbelt. The former state’s attorney asked that they be moved from Baltimore.

In November, jurors determined that Mosby lied about suffering financial consequences because of the coronavirus pandemic, an assertion that enabled her to withdraw roughly $80,000 from her city retirement account early.

Prosecutors also accused her of being untruthful when she used the financial windfall for down payments on a pair of properties in Florida worth almost $1 million combined: an eight-bedroom house near Disney World and a condo on the Gulf Coast. She was charged with making false statements on loan applications for the homes — one count of fraud per property. Mosby’s lawyers argued successfully to have a separate trial for her real estate-related charges.

A jury in February acquitted Mosby on one count of mortgage fraud — clearing her of most of the lies she was accused of — but found her guilty of the other, determining she made a false statement about a “gift letter” she composed saying that her then-husband Nick Mosby gave her enough money to close on the condo in Longboat Key.

In court Thursday, Griggsby asked Delaney whether there are any victims in this case. The lenders who provided loans to Mosby took no action when they learned she lied on her mortgage applications, and the money she used to put down payments on the Florida properties came from her own retirement account.

Delaney said the citizens of Baltimore are the victims because Mosby committed perjury while she was the city’s top prosecutor.

“It hurts the public when public officials are found to have lied under oath,” he said.

Delaney also said the crimes are more serious because Mosby’s work as a prosecutor shows that she knows the importance of truth.

She exonerated men who she believed were wrongfully convicted of crimes. She published a “do not call” list of police officers with integrity issues that prevented them from testifying in court — a list that Mosby herself would have ended up on because of her perjury conviction, Delaney said.

“Marilyn Mosby does not care about facts, does not care about the law, does not care about the truth,” Delaney said. “In our country’s courtrooms, the truth still matters.”

Before the sentencing Thursday, Griggsby granted a request from prosecutors, ordering that Mosby give up the Florida condo. The judge cited Mosby’s mortgage fraud conviction in ruling she relinquish the property, noting that jurors in February found she lied on the loan application for that condo by falsifying a letter promising she would be gifted $5,000 to close on the property.

“The mortgage was obtained because Ms. Mosby obtained the gift letter,” Griggsby said.

One of Mosby’s lawyers, public defender Maggie Grace, asked Griggsby to put a hold on the forfeiture order pending Mosby’s appeal of her mortgage fraud conviction.

The judge said the government had to return Mosby’s down payment on the property, which amounted to about 10% of the cost, and 10% of the condo’s appreciated value since she bought it. According to estimates from her attorneys, Mosby’s property nearly doubled in value to almost $890,000.

Prosecutors argued Mosby should have to forfeit the property and the entirety of its appreciated value.

“The defendant should not get to profit from her crimes merely because she invested the fraudulent proceeds,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Williamson told Griggsby.

Mosby’s lawyers said the government hadn’t proved there was a nexus between the property and the crimes Mosby was convicted of, and called the forfeiture overkill because there was no harm to the mortgage lender.

Griggsby agreed but found a different harm.

“The court shares the defense’s view there’s no apparent financial harm to the lender, but there had been a significant harm to the public because of Ms. Mosby’s role at the time, as both an elected official and an officer of the court,” the judge said.

Before court, a charter bus dropped off scores of Mosby supporters, who gathered in a prayer circle outside of the courthouse around 8:45 a.m. The former state’s attorney arrived around 9 a.m. sporting a crisp white suit and a short bob.

During a brief lunch break, well-known civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump spoke outside the courthouse, reading from remarks he will give in court as the defense presents its case at sentencing.

Crump said other white collar crimes have been met with a “slap on the wrist.”

“What is different here today is that underneath that white collar is the neck of a Black woman who dared to challenge the status quo,” Crump said.

Mosby has long held she is a victim of biased and politically-motivated prosecution, claims dubbed unfounded by the judge, and intensified that narrative in a series of media appearances ahead of her sentencing Thursday. A growing coalition of supporters echo her cries, alleging she is being persecuted because she advanced progressive policies as Baltimore’s top prosecutor.

Mosby, who served two terms as Baltimore state’s attorney, plans to appeal her convictions but also is seeking a full pardon from President Joe Biden. The Congressional Black Caucus urged Biden to pardon Mosby.

The office of Biden-nominated U.S. Attorney for Maryland Erek Barron led Mosby’s prosecution, although the investigation into Mosby predates him. Mosby wasn’t indicted until January 2022, nearly a year after Biden took office. Griggsby was also a Biden nominee.

During his argument, Delaney sought to dispel claims of ulterior motives underlying Mosby’s prosecution.

“In the United States of America, we do not prosecute people because of their politics,” he said. “And we do not cut them a break because of their politics either.”

Fucking government mafia definitely protects their own.

Soooo NOW prosecutions aren't ever political.

Of course your hack ass wants to promote Mosby as a victim.

Fucking government mafia definitely protects their own.

She definitely got a deal she didn't deserve, but at least she will be effectively neutered when it comes to holding any meaningful political position of power. She's history.

[cottagecheesefan]

Haven’t read the news that lead to this being bumped, it is bodymore, shieeeeeeet, basically the democrat political operative goose that lays the golden egg every single fiscal year.

I am from Baltimore, and the city is a disgrace to this country

None of this story is surpassing. But damn, some good posters ITT now banned. Bless them

 

[nhbbear]

ben crump and other black civil rights celebs have been demanding she be pardoned citing racism for even charging her. Weak ass sentence and a travesty of justice. She was the one that overcharged everyone involved in the Freddie gray death-the guy that was killed in the back of a police van due to neck injuries when he wasn’t strapped in. Another inmate said he was slamming himself against the walls. They fucked up by not strapping him in, but this bitch charged every officer that even handled gray before putting him in the van-even the original officer that originally chased him. She charged them with first degree murder and lost every single case. Baltimore rioted over his death and burned down a bunch of buildings after looting a cvs and other places.
