Before he was assigned to investigate President Joe Biden’s son, Leo Wise built a reputation in Baltimore as a tough and hard-charging federal prosecutor, taking on powerful figures, whether a gang of corrupt cops, a police commissioner, a top local prosecutor or even the city’s mayor
Wise also netted high-profile convictions of members of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force who’d terrorized the city, robbing drug dealers and planting narcotics and firearms on innocent people. A prosecutor who worked with Wise on that case and others, Derek Hines, has also been assigned to the Hunter Biden prosecution team.
“If you look at the highest-profile cases in the Baltimore area in the last few years, Leo’s done most of them," Cumming said."It's not personal. It’s just a matter of the job you have, the job you chose, and doing it to the best of your ability." “As I quickly learned on the job,” he wrote of the ethics positions, “going after the powerful doesn't tend to make one popular.”His case against the city’s former top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby -- accused of perjury and mortgage fraud related to applications for relief during the COVID-19 pandemic – has been defined by acrimony., including that he'd been motivated by personal animus in his pursuit of Mosby and had a history of targeting Black elected officials.
The charges against Treem roiled the city’s legal community, with defense lawyers aghast that a federal prosecutor would so aggressively go after an attorney with some 50 years of experience and pursue a case they saw as exceptionally weak. Andy Levy, a former law partner of Treem's, said Wise “was pretty well-respected, not just for his legal ability, but I think people thought that he was a reasonable guy that could be trusted.” But, he added, the Treem prosecution was “such a colossal error of judgment” that it hurt his reputation in the legal community.
