Control the niggers.

Leo Wise, the federal prosecutor who took down former Mayor Catherine
Pugh, a squad of corrupt Baltimore cops, an ex-police chief, two state
lawmakers, and is currently prosecuting former State’s Attorney Marilyn
Mosby, has been demoted and was temporarily removed from Mosby’s case, The
Baltimore Sun has learned.

Maryland U.S. Attorney Erek Barron removed Wise as chief of the Maryland
U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Public Corruption and Fraud Unit on March 21,
announcing the move in an office-wide memo sent the next day.

Wise, 46, remains a line prosecutor in the unit he most recently led, with
Assistant U.S. Attorney Harry Gruber being named the new chief. Gruber
most recently led a task force investigating COVID-19 fraud cases, an
initiative Barron and other U.S. attorneys have pushed in recent months.

A spokeswoman for Barron’s office confirmed the change but declined to
comment further. Reached by phone, Wise also declined to comment.

As the U.S. Attorney in Maryland, Barron has full authority to determine
who leads what units in his office.

The decision to remove Wise as the unit chief came after he and Barron
butted heads in recent months over staffing decisions and the Mosby case,
according to people familiar with the decision but who were not authorized
to speak publicly.

When Barron demoted Wise, he also decided to remove him from the Mosby
case, the sources said. Barron reversed course shortly thereafter and
reinstated him to the case before the week was up. Mosby is charged with
two counts each of perjury and mortgage fraud.

Federal prosecutors allege the Baltimore Democrat lied about experiencing
adverse financial conditions in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus
pandemic in order to make two early withdrawals from her city-managed
retirement account. She used the money, about $80,000, to make down
payments on two Florida vacation properties — an eight-bedroom rental near
Disney World and a condo on the Gulf Coast — and allegedly also misled the
lenders.

Longtime defense attorney Warren Brown said the zealousness with which
Wise investigated and prosecuted cases was bound to rub some people the
wrong way.

“The spotlight that goes with those types of cases can have unintended
consequences of people focusing a lot of their time and attention on you
and that gives them opportunity to find issues they are concerned about,”
Brown said.

Wise and Barron previously clashed over Mosby’s case in September when
Wise and the other prosecutors on the case asked U.S. District Judge Lydia
Kay Griggsby on Sept. 13 to either ban her expert witnesses from
testifying or to continue the case so that the government could hire its
own rebuttal witnesses, the sources said. Prosecutors, in the motion to
continue or exclude experts, said the late disclosure of expert testimony
by Mosby’s defense put them at a disadvantage.

Barron, sources said, wrote a late night email to his prosecutors ordering
them to withdraw the motion for continuance and to hold the trial as
scheduled.

Wise and his fellow prosecutors refused, with Wise threatening to withdraw
from the case if the request for a postponement was withdrawn, sources
said. Griggsby ordered the case delayed Sept. 14, and it has since been
delayed again after all of Mosby’s lawyers quit the case. It is now
scheduled to start Nov. 2.

A Harvard Law School graduate and member of the U.S. Attorney’s Office
since 2010, Wise has developed a reputation as a high-profile prosecutor
willing to take on public officials and community leaders, no matter how
prominent. Wise led the prosecution of Pugh, who resigned and pleaded
guilty amid the Healthy Holly scandal, and of Police Commissioner Darryl
DeSousa, who failed to file his taxes.

Wise also brought the federal cases against members of Baltimore Police’s
Gun Trace Task Force and the 80-defendant Eastern Correctional Institute
racketeering case.

Greenbelt attorney William Brennan represented former Maryland Del. Cheryl
Glenn in her federal bribery case, which Wise prosecuted, and said he
thought Wise was “honest, honorable and straightforward” in his dealings.
Glenn pleaded guilty in 2020.

Wise has made his fair share of enemies in Maryland legal circles. His
December 2021 prosecution of well-respected attorneys Kenneth Ravenell and
Joshua Treem rankled members of the defense bar who found Wise to be
overzealous in how he pursues cases. A jury convicted Ravenell of one
count of money laundering, for which he was sentenced to nearly five years
imprisonment. Treem, charged with obstruction of justice, was acquitted.

“The prosecution of Josh Treem was an utter failure of judgment by the
U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland,” Treem’s attorney Robert Trout said
after the verdict.

As part of the investigation into Treem, prosecutors sought a search
warrant for the Brown, Goldstein and Levy law firm. The materials seized
from the firm, which were likely subject to attorney-client privilege,
were supposed to be reviewed by a “filter team” of prosecutors before
reaching those handling the Treem case. The Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals found that was improper, and that such a team was an example of
the executive branch performing a judicial function.

Mosby and her former attorney, A. Scott Bolden, are some of Wise’s most
vocal critics, accusing him of mounting a racist, politically motivated
investigation against her and her husband, City Council President Nick
Mosby. Nick Mosby has not been charged with a crime. Reached by phone,
Bolden declined to comment for this article.

A judge found there was no evidence either Wise or the U.S. Attorney’s
Office was acting with racial or political vindictiveness in Marilyn
Mosby’s case.

The Congressional Black Caucus also accused the Office of Congressional
Ethics of targeting its members when Wise served as the first chief ethics
investigator for the U.S. House of Representatives from 2008 to 2010.

President Joe Biden appointed Barron, a former member of the Maryland
General Assembly, as U.S. Attorney for Maryland in October 2021.

Can't defend a nigger who just keeps lying

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 to all charges.

Court documents state that Mosby allegedly lied while citing coronavirus
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.

I remember the Freddie Gray case where she yelled out the charges against
the officers. It was grand standing 101 and her attempt at promoting
herself failed. All the officers were either acquitted or had the charges
dismissed.

Get the niggers under control or start shooting them.

BALTIMORE -- A federal judge will allow all six of former Baltimore City
State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's defense attorneys to withdraw from her
criminal case.


Judge Lydia K. Griggsby also found Mosby, who made more than $200,000 a
year in her former job, indigent and appointed federal public defender
James Wyda to represent her.

Judge Griggsby made the decision during a virtual hearing that was
accessible to the public by phone.


Mosby, who has rarely spoken in court, told the judge, "I would like this
case to go as quickly as possible so I can resume my life."

She later said, "I want to rebuild my life, but I do understand new
counsel would have to get up to speed in the case."

Mosby's perjury and fraud trial, slated to kick off on March 27, will now
likely be delayed again.

The lawyers' withdrawals stem from the possible criminal contempt charges
facing her former lead defense attorney A. Scott Bolden for his conduct,
including cursing on the courthouse steps and releasing secret jury
information.

Bolden has since apologized. Now, he says that he needs to focus on his
own defense instead of Mosby's. He did not speak in court on Friday.

The other three lawyers at his firm working on Mosby's case argued they
also have a conflict because of Bolden's situation.

Mosby's other two attorneys, Lucious Outlaw and Gary Proctor, will be
allowed to withdraw too.

They argued that they had taken the case pro-bono and were never prepared
to handle the main defense, citing other obligations.

"You can't get blood from a stone, judge. That's where I'm at," Proctor
said during Friday's conference.

Federal prosecutors said Mosby's defense team was "too large" and objected
to all but Bolden leaving the case, noting it has already been pushed back
too many times.

"Distracted is not a conflict of interest," prosecutor Leo Wise said.

While Judge Griggsby will allow Mosby new counsel, she acknowledged that
"a delay is certainly not something this judge welcomes."

The government has accused Mosby of perjury. Investigators argue that she
knowingly lied to take a hardship withdrawal from her retirement account
due to the pandemic when she was employed the entire time.

Prosecutors also claim she provided false information on mortgage
applications for two Florida vacation homes in order to get lower interest
rates.

Mosby has maintained her innocence. She lost her re-election bid and has
since been replaced by Ivan Bates as Baltimore City state's attorney.

A hearing will be held on February 3 to decide the next steps in the case.

Put the lying nigger in jail.

BALTIMORE -- Former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is set
to appear in court Friday with a public defender after a federal judge
allowed her team of defense attorneys to withdraw from her criminal case
earlier this week.

Judge Lydia K. Griggsby appointed a public defender after she found Mosby
indigent Monday. Federal public defender James Wyda officially entered his
appearance as the defense the next day.

The Friday hearing is to decide the next steps in Mosby's perjury and
fraud trial. Slated to kick off on March 27, the trial will now likely be
delayed again.

The lawyers' withdrawals stem from the possible criminal contempt charges
facing her former lead defense attorney A. Scott Bolden for his conduct,
including cursing on the courthouse steps and releasing secret jury
information.

Give these niggers some free time in jail.

Last week, Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby lost in the Democratic
primary contest to retain her position. Around the country, other de-
prosecuting prosecutors are being removed one by one, as their failing
policies and ethical problems culminate in disorder and public distrust.
Is the progressive prosecutor movement on the decline?

Mosby’s original campaign platform was to ignore entire categories of
crimes and to reduce sentences even for violent criminals. The criminals
got the message: Baltimore was a free-fire zone. Homicides exceeded 300
per year in the Charm City every year that Mosby was in office, making
Baltimore one of the nation’s most dangerous municipalities. People and
businesses fled the city, with over 35,000 residents exiting, even as the
rest of Maryland grew in population. Just a few weeks before the primary,
a report from the Maryland Public Policy Institute detailed how many of
the homicides in Baltimore were committed by criminals who would have been
in jail under a normal prosecution regime. Mosby did not help her position
by ending up under federal indictment for perjury charges alleging that
she made false statements while applying for pandemic-related loans to buy
a vacation home in Florida. Mosby’s victorious opponent, Ivan Bates, is
something of an unknown quantity, but he campaigned explicitly on a
public-safety platform, as his campaign materials make clear: “To build a
safer Baltimore, we must have a functional and efficient prosecutor’s
office led by a State’s Attorney who prioritizes public safety.”

Mosby is not the only radical prosecutor for whom the bell has tolled or
is tolling. In San Francisco, Chesa Boudin’s loss made national headlines.
In St. Louis, circuit attorney Kim Gardner faces a three-headed problem of
spiking homicides, persistent ethics complaints, and line prosecutors
fleeing her office. In Chicago, state’s attorney Kim Foxx has de-
prosecuted her city into record levels of violence, the Jussie Smollett
embarrassment, and her own ethics investigation. New Orleans district
attorney Jason Williams, another George Soros-backed prosecutor who
promised to dismantle the criminal-justice system and instead put his city
into contention for the title of murder capital of America, is being tried
in federal court for tax fraud. And in Seattle, King County prosecutor Dan
Satterberg—a moderate Republican who pivoted to progressivism—has
announced that he would not seek reelection after 14 years in office.

If some American cities that have experienced the consequences of
progressive prosecution are rebelling, others can still be lured into
repeating the same mistakes. Oakland recently made avowed progressive
reformer and civil rights attorney Pamela Price the leading vote-getter in
the primary election for Alameda County district attorney. Apparently,
Oaklanders missed the lesson delivered just across the Bay Bridge and in
numerous other cities across America: a prosecutor who refuses to
prosecute violent criminals will invite more violence on the law-abiding.

Thomas Hogan is an adjunct fellow for the Manhattan Institute. He has
served as a federal prosecutor, local prosecutor, and elected district
attorney. He currently is in private practice.
