Former Baltimore City state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby has been found guilty in federal court on two counts of perjury related to alleged false statements made in order to withdraw money from the city’s retirement fund (in order to buy property in Florida, apparently!).
Mosby, you may recall, is the Soros-backed Baltimore state’s attorney who made a complete clown of herself with her bizarre mishandling of the Freddie Gray case. Mosby was also a “decarceration” advocate who lost her bid for reelection amid rising violent crime in Baltimore and ongoing questions about her judgement, competence, and character.
The latter three qualities (or lack thereof) all appear to have played a role in the recent guilty verdicts handed down for perjury and in upcoming trials related to making false claims on mortgage applications.
