Charles Littlejohn: Man who stole and leaked Trump tax records sentenced to 5 years in prison
The man who stole and leaked former President Donald Trump and thousands of other’s tax records has been sentenced to five years in prison.
In October, Charles Littlejohn, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns. According to his plea agreement, he stole Trump’s tax returns along with the tax data of “thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people,” while working for a consulting firm with contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.
Littlejohn leaked the information to two news outlets and deleted the documents from his IRS-assigned laptop before returning it and covered the rest of his digital tracks by deleting places where he initially stored the information.
Judge Ana Reyes highlighted the gravity of the crime, saying multiple times that it amounted to an attack against the US and its legal foundation.

If people believe in this stupid law thing, they have to actually be willing to enforce it. You can't just keep giving into cynicism forever.
The United States' legal system is regularly enforced against the poor and the weak. It is serving its actual purpose
Wow... You're everywhere today beating your drum, aren't you? How soon until your manifesto drops in this thread?
Yes, the justice system has and is used disproportionately against the poor and maligned. The work to overcome that continues - your diatribes about the "obvious result of late-stage neoliberalism policies" notwithstanding.
Not sure what you're upset about. Care to elaborate?
Some people will stop at nothing to defend the 1980's crime tv status-quo where police are the good guys where no broken law is ever justified except their broken law
