Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby lost her reelection bid to defense attorney Ivan Bates in the Democratic primary after she was indicted by a grand jury on federal charges alleging that she used coronavirus hardship as a reason to take money out of her city retirement account.

The Associated Press called the race in favor of Ivan Bates, a defense attorney, on Friday night. Bates is a former prosecutor in Baltimore who served from 1996 to 2002 before becoming a defense attorney.

Mosby, a Democrat, directed her office to stop prosecuting offenses such as drug possession, prostitution, urinating in public, and more during the coronavirus pandemic in an attempt to stop the virus from spreading in jails and prisons.


There seems to be little reason that Mosby lost the election other than the multiple ongoing corruption investigations into the affairs of her and her husband, City Council President Nick Mosby. Voters didn’t seem to be all that upset about her terrible job performance when she stopped prosecuting almost all nonviolent crimes, despite the fact that prosecuting crimes is pretty much the definition of her job. They didn’t seem particularly incensed over the way she spent eight years at war with the city’s police, hounding them more fiercely than the gangbangers who control the streets most evenings.

But over the past two years, the endless headlines seemed to have become too much for the voters. It was all too embarrassing. She’s been charged with fraud, perjury, and corruption. She and her husband didn’t bother paying their utility bills for years at a time despite making enviable salaries on the taxpayers’ dime. They both allegedly played fast and loose with the campaign funds they raised. Marilyn Mosby was getting dragged into court more often than some of the criminals she was elected to prosecute.

Why would they supposedly do all of that? Because this is Baltimore that we’re talking about. Democrats own and operate the city and many of them have treated the municipal coffers like their personal piggy banks. It’s simply part of the culture and many of them have gotten away with so much of this activity for a long time until it became too obvious to ignore anymore and they finally faced prosecution. (Two of the city’s last five mayors wound up going to prison and another messed up her job so badly she didn’t even bother attempting to run for a second term.)

Sure, that's why she did it.

Is Kim Foxx next?? Another Chicago criminal released from County on a gun charge had a gun battle with two Chicago cops, wounding one.

^^^ Don't be in such a hurry to move on from Mosby - let's see where the criminal charges go. At this point all progressive hero DAs seem to be getting kicked out of office under the weight of their own mistakes.

One can only hope.

The tide is finally turning against all these woke morons, it’s about dammed time!

Ok, good.

Is this guy going to be any better?

Hopefully the schmuck took the room temperature challenge...

Not likely.

Glad to see the walls closing in on that crooked POS Mosby.

That said is Ivan Bates going to be any better? Or will he be a distinction without a difference? Serious question, I don’t know the political characters in Baltimore as it isn’t my home turf.

Marilyn Mosby loses primary in Baltimore

Lots of DA's have been coming from the defense particularly the, public defender side of the legal table.

Unfortunately, many of them, SF's Boudin and Philly's Krasner being the most dubious examples, could never shake the ideology of the public defender and carried that mindset over to the District Attorney office.

Mosby is a piece of work. She was the one who instigated the whole Freddie Gray shit, and I think the LEOs involved still have a suit against her.
