The Biden administration is formally considering commuting the sentence of the convicted felon who stole and leaked incoming President Trump's tax records along with those of thousands of other taxpayers, in the biggest tax data heist in U.S. history.

Your tax records are not private if you disobey the Deep State

[Hodar]

Family worked a seasonal job in the IRS. The FIRST rule they were taught was that tax records are PRIVATE. If they knew someone (no matter how remotely) they could not look a their tax records. If they looked up a family member, friend, celebrity - ANYONE - not tied to an assigned case, they would first be fired; then charged with a felony.

This not an accident, this person knew the penalties; and decided to do it, repeatedly. No sympathy at all.

MY ANSWER WOULD BE:

[Jane Long]

Why not?

You get away with it if you’re doing it for the DS/cabal.

🤬

[Flaming Conservative]

Of course he is. If I never hear another thing from the monstrosity that is Biden, it won’t be too soon. Every word that proceeds from his mouth is a lie.

[kiryandil]

This would GREAT if Pedo Joe’s handlers decided to pardon this stooge.

The IRS and the US Census Bureau wouldn’t have a leg to stand on when they tried to claim that “their records are inviolate” in the future.

[God luvs America]

If true- get a Congressional subpoena on this guy and question him who else was involved.

[ncfool]

Bull shit. No.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Federal employees can’t be trusted. These days everything is fair game when it comes to privacy. Classified Government documents are expected to be leaked for political purposes.

[unlearner]

Biden and his leftist handlers need to consider that President Trump has the power to do the exact same thing.

It’s becoming like conferring presidential immunity. A crime could be committed knowing in advance that it will be pardoned.

Since all of D.C. is under federal jurisdiction, it could even allow assassinations to be done with no legal consequences.

How about a real insurrection?

Do they want this to escalate to that?

[lee martell]

The real surprise is Biden has not already given this guy the Medal of Freedom. Not yet, anyway.

[Dennis M.]

Trump needs to go after Biden real hard to publicly expose his corruption. The house hearings are not enough. He needs to be in front of a jury lying his ass off. When the left whimper, point out what they did and laugh in their face.

Present a choice, either end the pardons or end the IRS.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "A number of liberal watchdog groups, including Revolving Door Project and Patriotic Millionaires, have been lobbying President Biden to free Littlejohn from prison because they believe his leaks provided a 'public service.' They argue he is a 'selfless defender of tax fairness' for exposing how Trump and other wealthy Americans, including billionaires Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, and Jeff Bezos, take advantage of tax breaks to reduce their tax bills. Littlejohn leaked the sensitive IRS data to the New York Times and the liberal news site ProPublica, which published them in a series of articles before and after the 2020 election."

Notice any prominent, politically active billionaire's name missing from the list?

[newzjunkey]

The leaker can pound sand and do the time.

This isn't a virtuous gov't whistleblower situation.
