The Department of Justice charged an IRS consultant Friday with disclosing tax return information on “thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals” to news organizations, the agency said in a statement.
The consultant also passed tax information associated with “a high-ranking government official” to a different news outlet. Neither the news outlets nor the government official were identified in the statement from the DOJ.
The consultant was named as Charles Littlejohn, a 38-year-old resident of Washington, D.C.
“Littlejohn is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison,” the DOJ said.

It must have been Democrats.
If it were Republicans he’d be hailed as a hero...............
I wonder how much was he paid to narc to news outlets on clients?
Just curious as to what the price he set on his future was.
Why would he need access to THOUSANDS of files? Seems to me that no single person should have access to more than a handful of files of rich dudes, due to the complexity of reviewing their filings. For Middle Class - yea, I can see having access to thousands, since most can likely be dealt with in an hour or so.
His picture on Linked In shows him to be one of Obama’s sons he never had. Maybe his is a member of BLM putting out information on people he thinks owe reparations.
If he is a democrat he will face 5 minutes in the corner with a dunce hat on. If he is a Republican, he will be in solitary next to the J6 political prisoners.
When will they charge the IRS employee who leaked the tax returns of a sitting President?
=:-)
Charged with 1 count? Article mentions many people exposed. Why wouldn’t he be charged 1 count for every single individual he exposed?
I have a ‘thing’ about consultants! Worthless POS
Faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for his jollies going to have time to think that one over.
IDIOT
Must not have been the right political affiliation for that IRS Consultant.
Didn’t seem to be a crime when Trump’s tax return was leaked and published by the NY Times.
Does it say he is a consultant or an employee? Here’s one without a picture, from Maryland.

THOUSANDS OF DISCLOSURES?
ONE COUNT?
MAX 5 YEARS?
WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT THESE DAYS?
PLED DOWN TO TIME SERVED.
NO JUSTICE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The wealthy returns are managed out west. Colorado perhaps?
Not with the usuals.
So he would have had to go out of his way to get them from DC.
What kind of self-absorbed narcissist when given the privilege of handling sensitive information, thinks he has the right to distribute that information?

An enemy of the US laws
