Federal grand jury investigating Baltimore officials Nick, Marilyn Mosby; churches, campaign staff subpoenaed

Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby and State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, subpoenaing her campaign and the couple’s business records, according to a grand jury subpoena obtained by The Baltimore Sun.

The U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI requested a wide range of financial records related to the power couple: tax returns, bank statements, credit card statements, loan documents and canceled checks. They subpoenaed Mosby’s campaign treasurer and requested records tracing back to 2014, some related to the Mosbys’ private travel and consulting businesses

Union Baptist Church received a federal grand jury subpoena seeking information about whether Nick Mosby had made contributions there, the church’s attorney, Robert Dashiell, confirmed. The pastor of another major church, Bethel AME, also said he received a subpoena, though Rev. Patrick Clayborn said he did not know details of what it was seeking.
Federal agents visited Nick Mosby at City Hall last week, according to two sources.

Nick Mosby, who was elected last year to his post, has not responded to multiple requests seeking comment this week. Marilyn Mosby, the two-term top prosecutor, also did not respond to multiple requests for comment

Their lawyer, A. Scott Bolden, issued a statement calling the investigation “a political witch hunt in its purest form.”
“My clients are progressive change agents, making them unfair targets of unnecessary scrutiny by federal investigators. Nevertheless, I can assure you and the people of Baltimore, they have done nothing illegal, inappropriate or unlawful,” he wrote.

Federal authorities have declined to discuss the investigation. The records are listed in a subpoena issued last week to Marilyn Mosby’s campaign treasurer and obtained under Maryland’s Public Information Act

The treasurer, Sharif Small, had forwarded the subpoena to state elections officials along with an email about the use of campaign funds for legal fees.
Prosecutors also asked Small to supply records related to the private travel and consulting companies of the Mosbys. The companies listed include Nick Mosby’s firm of Monumental Squared LLC and Marilyn Mosby’s Mahogany Elite Travel and Consulting.

The state’s attorney has said she formed Mahogany Elite Travel to help underserved Black families vacation around the world at affordable rates. She said the companies exists in name only

because vacationing around the world is high on the Baltimore priority list ?

Of the subpoena sent to Union Baptist Church, Dashiell said he reviewed its records and found that Nick Mosby had made a negligible donation. “I spend more at Starbucks,” Dashiell said.

Emerson L. Dorsey Jr., an attorney for the Mosbys’ church, New Psalmist Baptist Church, declined to discuss whether the church had received a subpoena as well.
The couple has drawn scrutiny in recent months for business and financial dealings. The Sun reported in October that the Internal Revenue Service filed a $45,000 lien against their home for three years worth of unpaid taxes.


The IRS filing shows the couple owed nearly $23,000 for the 2014 tax year, more than $19,000 for 2015 and about $3,000 for 2016. Nick Mosby, 43, said the debts stem from his early withdrawals of retirement savings because of “unplanned expenses after a series of family tragedies.” Marilyn Mosby has said only that she was unaware of the lien.

Marilyn Mosby, meanwhile, has been embroiled in a tense back-and-forth with the office of the Baltimore inspector general. Mosby faced growing questions last summer about her trips abroad to criminal justice conferences and her private travel businesses

No surprise. Baltimore is one of the most corrupt cities out there.

Warms my heart.

It really does.

Do any of these investigations lead to prison time or the usual, they didn’t mean any harm & have learned their lesson. Walk free and clear. Don’t even have to repay taxpayers. I hate politicians.

Sometimes I wonder if some of the people involved in the investigating/judicial process are as dishonest as those they are looking into.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Mosby's are dirty, it wouldn't surprise me if there are minimal consequences.

It’s all just a show. Nothing will happen to them.

I wonder how things would proceed had a conservative Repub been the person of interest.

^^^A Conservative Republican would be 'Roger Stoned'...

In today’s crazy world, I visualize them telling their lawyer to counter sue as this is purely racial harassment...and awarded multi millions.

Multi millions of taxpayer money.

(Sidenote. I googled Mosby's, seems they have a tax on their property for unpaid taxes)

One fine day John Q is going to rise up with maddening bloodlust fury.

Ask Al Sharpton.

Just saw a report today that Nick and Marilyn settled on a Florida condo a few weeks ago for just under a half million

Believe The Reverend Al?! I’d rather be in hell with a broke as to see or hear him.

I suspect that they are digging for a money trail and at some point false tax statements will come up and then Bribery charges. Basically they are crooked as a dog's hind leg and are now getting Caponed.

I read that Pelosi's father AND brother were Mayors of Baltimore.

Coincidence??

Pelosi's brother handed me my diploma in 1969 at the Baltimore Civic center. Lucky me.

Pelosi's father was Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. (died 1987) He was Baltimore mayor 1947-1959

Her older brother was Thomas D'Alesandro III (died 2019). He was Baltimore mayor 1967-1971
