| Federal criminal investigation targeting top Baltimore power couple Nick, Marilyn Mosby |
| 2021-03-20 |
| [FOXBALTIMORE] Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby are the targets of the investigation multiple sources confirmed for FOX45 News. This is a wide-ranging investigation and sources confirm multiple subpoenas have been served. An attorney for Union Baptist Church in Baltimore confirmed the church was served with a subpoena and the Mosby’s were the target of the investigation. Robert Fulton Dashiell said the federal Sherlocks were interested in if any or how much the Mosby’s have donated to the church during a specified time period. Dashiell confirmed the Mosbys are not members at the church, but said they did make a small contribution. Dashiell said: "I spend more monthly at Starbucks than the Mosby’s gave during the time period." Dashiell declined to give the actual amount but did confirm it was much less than $200. An Attorney for the Mosbys fired back shortly after the investigation, first reported by Justin Fenton at the Baltimore Sun, was revealed. In what is quickly becoming a page in the politicians-under-fire playbook, he called the investigation a "witch hunt." “On behalf of Nick and Marilyn Mosby, my clients are progressive change agents, making them unfair targets of unnecessary scrutiny by federal Sherlocks. Nevertheless, I can assure you and the people of Baltimore, they have done nothing illegal, inappropriate or unlawful. This is a political witch hunt in its purest form, and both of them will vigorously, and fully defend themselves. In the interim, I’ve advised them to refrain from making any further comments, on these matters. As they’ve done with every other baseless charge and investigation lodged against them, they have every intent to fully cooperate with the investigation, to fight for the truth to come out, while continuing to fight for the citizens of a city that they both love, and are blessed to serve.” A trail of questions have followed the Mosbys throughout their time in Baltimore politics. Gifts given to Marilyn Mosby were allegedly auctioned off for charity at her Winter Solstice Gala. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... in a recent report from the office of the inspector general, there is no evidence that some of the gifts had actually been donated or auctioned. At the time, SAO spokesperson Zy Richardson told FOX45 News in a statement: "Any insinuation suggesting the OIG found ’no evidence’ that gifts were donated by the State’s Attorney is outright false and purposely mischaracterizes the truth. |

#2  Nick and Marilyn have long-term political goals. A federal 'investigation' will assist in cleaning out the closet in advance of their next career moves. A sort of policing up the drop zone or sanitizing effort. The goal of our current Federal government is to EMPTY the prisons, not put more criminals in them. |
