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.

Leakers R Us.
The guy needs to be sent to Gitmo’.
What a co-inky-dinky.
But no one will leak the Tennessee shooter manifesto?
Corruption on the grand scale.
How convenient.
87K new agents and IRS needs sub contractors?
Crime does pay.
No kidding, Rep. Smith. It would sure be nice if we had a political party that would actually do something about this corruption, but I guess that party doesn't exist.
3 major breaches of data by the company and they get rewarded with a lucrative IRS contract.
Littlejohn got a slap on the hand. If he’d been a republican he’d be in jail for 30 years.
Dems have all the leakers knowing they will be protected. IRS, reporters, Doj, State Dept, Military. We are so screwed as a country.
Ping
I hate this term "loophole" when used in the context of taxes, there is no such thing, these are rules or reductions that are legally allowed as per the tax law, granted to us thru our elected (corrupt) representatives. Same goes for tricks
No kidding, Rep. Smith. It would sure be nice if we had a political party that would actually do something about this corruption, but I guess that party doesn’t exist.
How pathetic that the swamp GOP manages to play bystander to history during the Marxist war on America.
The subs will locate the Republican tax filers.
I’m still waiting for one brave soul who participated in the fraudulent ballot count to come forward.........waiting, but not holding my breath.
Total coincidence of course. When you live in a swamp it is only natural that the only other beings you know are other swamp creatures.
These people swap jobs, political positions, and mistresses much like we poor folk trade hand-me-down clothes, beat-up vehicles, and four ingredient recipes.
It’s all so ordinary now, I’d have to say standard operating procedure at this point.
