[NYPOST] Former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s entire legal team has asked a federal judge to withdraw from representing the city’s top prosecutor.
Attorney A. Scott Bolden, previously part of Mosby’s legal team, said that he is withdrawing from the case because of a contempt of court charge leveled against him during his work on the former prosecutor’s case, according to FOX 45.
The other attorneys haven’t yet explained why they are withdrawing from the case, but have asked for a public defender to be appointed.
Bolden said in the filing that he needs to focus on defending himself from the contempt of court charge after cursing while airing criticisms of the court and sharing confidential jury information.
"In order to do so, Mr. Bolden must, understandably, focus on his own interests, not the interests of his client, Ms. Mosby," the filing states. "The representation of Mr. Bolden (and the entire Reed Smith team) will be—and indeed already has been—materially limited as a result of Mr. Bolden’s justified personal interest in the outcome of his own prospective contempt proceeding before the Court."
"Ms. Mosby is entitled to effective counsel free from conflicts, and if that counsel requires time to prepare, such time must be provided, regardless of the Government’s interest in maintaining the current trial schedule, since any such is far outweighed by Ms. Mosby’s Sixth Amendment right to constitutionally-effective conflict free counsel," Bolden added in the filing.
Mosby was indicted in 2022 on federal charges of making false mortgage applications and perjury, which both relate to vacation home purchases in Florida.
She has pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to all charges.
Marilyn Mosby other attorneys haven't explained why they are withdrawing from the case yet.
Court documents state that Mosby allegedly lied while citing coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... hardship as a reason to make withdraws from her city retirement account. Mosby allegedly certified that she met at least one qualification for distribution under the CARES Act and "affirm[ed] under penalties for perjury the statements and acknowledgments made in this request."
Mosby allegedly requested two one-time withdrawals of $40,000 and $50,000 out of her city retirement account, resulting in deposits of $36,000 and $45,000 into her bank account, and also allege that she used the money for down-payments on two separate vacation homes in Florida.
The former prosecutor didn’t face any adverse financial consequences from the coronavirus pandemic, as she received her full salary of $247,955.58 from Jan. 1, 2020 all the way through Dec. 29, 2020.
If convicted, Mosby could face up to five years in prison for the two counts of perjury and up to 30 years in prison for each of the two counts of making false mortgage applications.

To me this looks like an annoyance ploy. He is telling the judge to drop the contempt charge or delay the case indefinitely while she coordinates new representation. It would cost the client more in legal fees over the length of the case, but she gets to delay jail. With no other info about the charges, this indicates to me that she is guilty and there is evidence to back it up.

This is the kind of corruption that they're all guilty of, and usually gets overlooked. She pissed off someone somewhere.

I talked to some guy from the future and he said that after her legal career ends, Ms Mosby goes on to become the poster girl for Resting Bitch Face.
[NYPOST] Rep. Adam Schiff ...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"... joined the crowded 2024 Senate race in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, on Thursday, saying Democrats "need a fighter" just days after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip.

Schiff gained national prominence as a leading opponent of former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... — who nicknamed him "Shifty Schiff" — and was the lead impeachment manager in the 45th president’s 2020 Senate trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings.
McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday banned Schiff from the intelligence committee, which the Democrat had chaired for the past four years, for allegedly lying about the existence of evidence showing Trump conspired with Russia to win the 2016 election.

He believes that his strong record of malfeasance and corruption deserves promotion. We will see if California rewards him. My gut tells me that he will not make out of the primary, but my recent prediction record is spotty at best. It will be interesting to see if he has a primary opponent for his district.

If you want to actually replace Old Piano Legs, you'll have to up your drinking game...

The hell of it is, in a state like California and with the media refusing to report his many misdeeds, he might win. In fact, I would predict at this point that he will win.

I suppose on the bright side, if he were to actually win nobody would notice the difference.
#5
There is no bright side to it. Feinstein is old and out of it. Schifferbrains is young, energetic and ambitious. But on top of that he is totally unscrupulous...well, he's a Democrat. That's bad.
They'll vote for him in Los Angeles. If he can get Pelosi and Newsom to support him, they'll vote for him in the Bay Area too.
Yes, it does make me ashamed to be a Californian.

With the amount of graft available at the Senate level, there will likely be a host of challengers. California politics is sort of like Saruman’s orc spawning pool. Don’t discount the possibility that a more despicable candidate might emerge. Their district attorney farm system is top flight. Kamala Harris is a generational talent, but there are still some up and comers working on their craft at through that system. The mayoral pipeline is also robust.

I’d say the odds are against him. Running against 3 womyns including a POC from Oakland and law professor from purpling OC. While a soy boy, don’t think a white male in his 60s has much of a chance in Wokeville. As a recovering Californian, sad to see my home circle the drain.

[BREITBART] Representative Adam Schiff ...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"... (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" that Facebook parent company Meta was reinstating former President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s personal account after a two-year suspension following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol for "profit."
Anchor Joy Reid ...Harvard-educated lefty MSDNC (If you're white you ain't right!) ...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points we hear as news stories originate... commentatrix, given to fits of hyperbole, bad arithmetic, and faux sophistication... said, "Donald Trump is the only announced Republican candidate so far for president. He has just been given back access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts."
Schiff said, "I think Facebook’s decision to reinstate Donald Trump is inexplicable. It represents, in my view, a total caving in and copping out. The only motive I can see is a profit motive here."
He added, "If you look at what Donald Trump has been posting on his own social media platform, all of that violates Facebook’s policies. He’s continued to give aid and comfort to those who committed acts of insurrection. He’s continuing to spread the big lie. And the idea that somehow he would not do that on Facebook when he’s doing it on his own platform, to me, is a tragic decision by a company that is putting its profit above the public interest."
Reid added, "They have said they believe the threat has passed, which seems ludicrous."

The issue with Schiff is that he sounds rational until you compare what he says to objective facts.
