Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has applied for a presidential pardon ahead of her upcoming sentencing on perjury and mortgage fraud convictions, according to a letter sent to President Joe Biden by the Congressional Black Caucus on Thursday.
Mosby, who was convicted on one count of mortgage fraud and two counts of perjury, is set to be sentenced next week.
In February, a federal jury agreed she had made a false statement on a mortgage application for a home in Long Boat Key, Fla.
The verdict came about three months after another jury convicted the once-high-profile prosecutor on two counts of perjury, relating to the withdrawal of COVID funds from the city’s Deferred Compensation Plan.
Prosecutors said she claimed COVID-related financial hardship in order to make early withdrawals from her retirement account. She then used those funds for down payments on two vacation properties in Florida.
Thursday, 60 lawmakers said in a letter sent to the president that Mosby’s prosecution has been politically motivated.
“As a nation that leads by example, our justice system must not be weaponized to prevent progress toward a more perfect union,” Rep. Steven Horsford, a Democrat from Nevada and the chair of the CBC, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Baltimore Sun. “We share your desire for racial equity, Mr. President, and this Trump-era prosecution is in direct conflict with a justice system that serves us all.”

If anyone should be pardoned, it’s the Donald.
Why should she get a pass? Black woman? Xiden need the votes?
Do the crime, do the time - so tired of this Just-us for thee and not for me crap.
That's rich.
Joe: She said “pardon me” but I didn’t even notice she bumped into me. Guess I’m slipping.
She was just following orders from Holder and Obama.
Hunter will broker thi$
Wow, really? That's sounds so familiar. Except Trump hasn't actually commited any crimes like Mosby has.
She was trying to put innocent people in jail to bolster her political career.
My neighborhood.
I heard this woman (Baltimore, and undoubtedly black) call in the radio show today excusing her.
Unbelievable.
She stated In Essence, Mosby should be THANKED for prosecuting those 6 officers in the Freddie Gray nonsense and that that helped the Preakness keep going that year! ROLF!
Another Soros der kleine Führer’s ghettopotamus affirmative action shysters.
Just another corrupt black politician. Baltimore has them by the bushel. No wonder its schools and crime stats look like they do. Keep voting for the same thing time after time and you expect different?
The key question here is really whether Biden’s handlers think he needs more black votes in Maryland. If they think he’s a shoo in anyway she’s out of luck. If they think they need some more black votes it’s a pardon
President Donald J Trump did NOTHING to be pardoned for! mittens was all for tainting the Donald with “pardoned for a crime” but Romney is a complicit rinoclass criminal. when the American people wake up, and they are, Romney will become a marie Antoinette...headless.
He just spent today pandering to blacks at the National Museum of African American History and “historically black sororities and fraternities “
They’re panicking over their losses in the polls
She’ll get it, but only if she has the $2 million in cash pedo Joe charges for these things.
She’ll get it...sometime in mid November.
