A former IRS contractor who leaked a slew of confidential tax records filed by the wealthiest Americans, including those of President Donald Trump, was sentenced Monday to the maximum of five years in prison.
Charles Littlejohn pleaded guilty last year to one count of unauthorized disclosure of income tax returns. Littlejohn, 38, admitted that he leaked Trump’s confidential tax information to the New York Times in 2019 and then replicated his work the next year, filtering the tax returns and financial data of thousands of wealthy Americans to ProPublica.

And yet Lois Lerner is still free.
I hope enjoys his prison stint all for nothing
A small baby step in the right direction...
Hopefully he gets to bunk with Big Bubba
Why I have the feeling if Trump beats Biden/Big Mike/whoever they run, this felon will be pardoned on Biden’s last day.
Why didn’t the editors and reporters for the New York Times get indicted? Stupid question, I know why.
This was literally the most anticlimactic revelation of all time for the poor democrats. For years and years they clamored....then the returns were out there and its like nothing ever happened. 5 years for nothing- what a hero.
Yeah, why didn’t they get the Julian Assange treatment?
He got 5 years because the returns were positive for Trump. He didn’t know when to bury info.
I hope he finds that special someone behind bars, if you get my drift.
I hope this guy is the first of MANY who will get their comeuppance soon.
And may it be for a very long time!
Wasn’t there a thread last week that some people in the know were thinking this punk was gonna get probation? I’m rather pleased they were wrong.
And yet the NY Times, in possession of stolen material, with top notch attorneys advising them on such, get off scot free?
I expect this is why he is going to prison. He leaked details of the wrong wealthy people.
Does he have a “purty mouf”?
I agree, I thought I saw a thread where they were talking 9 months.
The “some people” that whined about this guy getting probation were the Surrender Monkeys that tell us over and over they”know” people like this will walk.
Look at the whiny “yeah buts” on this thread.
I’ll bet you he is granted an appeal and is released within a month.
I’d like to be first up with the claim that the judge is not at all suicidal, avoids high storeys in buildings and is an excellent driver.
