Surprising and dumb move. They are attacking the home team here.

Prosecute the media outlets that ran with this obvious illegal information. It’s no different than the media making trades on insider information, it’s a crime.

No they aren’t. They are trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube, they are panicked with the populist movement and Trump and know they may well be on the receiving end of this next year!

5 years for this huge abuse of trust. 20+ years for strolling through the Capital.

It would seem to me, given the Assange and Snowden situations, that anyone who used the leaked returns on TV, like Maddow and the rest, should be prosecuted for being an accessory to a crime.

And yet Lois Lerner is still free.

Bitch should have been drawn and quartered. But that’s just me.

5 years in St.Thomas, a plaque, cash bonus, and a sternly worded letter.

They’ll put him in a minimum security lockup; he’ll spend 2 1/2 years playing Parchesi with geezers old enough to be his grandfather, and leave with the equivalent of a Master’s Degree in scamming and fraud ...

No parole in the Federal system. He’s going to do 90%.

Freedom stops when they do illegal stuff.

Littlejohn also admitted to leaking tax records belonging to “over a thousand” other wealthy people.
~~~~~

Then why isn’t Littlejohn being sentenced on over one thousand counts of breaking this law?

Exactly. This guy won’t serve more than 18 months regardless of the sentence. BUT, the Feds are warning any possible anti-Deep State leakers that they will get hammered by seeking “the maximum.” A pro-Trump leaker will have charges stacked on one another, combined with RICO-type charges, and will be looking at 80-100 years.

The Feds will then say they ALWAYS seek the maximum in such cases.

God bless President Trump and his family.
