The Internal Revenue Service recently awarded a lucrative contract to help modernize its computer databases to the same Washington firm, Booz Allen Hamilton, that employed the man who pleaded guilty last week to stealing and leaking thousands of private tax returns of wealthy Americans, including former President Trump, according to records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.
The massive IRS theft is the third major breach of confidential and classified government information by Booz Allen contractors over the last decade – including Edward Snowden's 2013 leak exposing the National Security Agency’s worldwide anti-terror surveillance program.
Cyber-thief Charles “Chaz” Littlejohn was working on an IRS contract for Booz Allen in 2018 when he stole more than two decades of Trump’s personal tax records from IRS computers. He later leaked them to the New York Times, which published negative stories on Trump’s long-sought returns several weeks before the 2020 election, which Trump narrowly lost in a handful of battleground states.
After the election, Littlejohn leaked a trove of sensitive IRS data on Elon Musk, Michael Bloomberg and other billionaires – including major conservative donors – to ProPublica. The left-leaning news site used them to write a series, “The Secret IRS Files,” about how the rich use loopholes and tricks to avoid paying taxes. Congressional Democrats cited the series in their push for higher taxes on the wealthy.

On another note-
If you run for public office and are asking for the public’s trust, and none of this is a national security issue, it should be public.
But for ALL OF THEM (all elected and appointed officials).
If you want your “privacy” (whatever that means in America), you shouldn’t run for public office. In other words, when you run for “public office” the public has a RIGHT to know what they are voting for and government agencies (paid for by US tax dollars) like the IRS should not even have the right to conceal this information as it has no national security nexus.
The entire idea of “secrecy” and “privacy” have been distorted/perverted in America.

And this is what is meant by “deep state.”
These anti-American contractor companies need to be totally cut off. Federalize all work to have maximum accountability.
