A former IRS contractor and devout Democrat, Charles Edward Littlejohn, 38, a guy who leaked former President Donald Trump's tax returns, was sentenced to five years in prison this week, and is hoping to meet fellow Trump-haters in the mess hall.
Littlejohn [aka Tiny Toilet] was a contractor with the IRS from 2018 to 2020. He pleaded guilty last October to unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information, in spite of his belief that he was doing a patriotic operation.
When and if former President Trump wins a second term, it is highly unlikely that he will pardon the Democratic operative.
As a government contractor, Littlejohn “stole” Trump’s tax return information, the DOJ said on Monday, adding that he took steps to conceal his activities so he wouldn’t get caught. He also stole the tax return information of thousands of America’s wealthiest individuals, including figures like Jeff Bezos.

Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden nominee, imposed the maximum sentence on Littlejohn in federal court and compared him to those who participated in the January 6, 2021, so called riot at the U.S. Capitol, which is patently ridiculous. It's like comparing apples to blowfish. Reyes said the leak was "an intolerable attack on our constitutional democracy." The sentence also includes 3 years supervised release and a $5,000 fine.
“When you target the sitting president of the United States, you’re targeting the office and when you’re targeting the office of the president of the United States, you’re targeting democracy — you’re targeting our constitutional system of government,” she said, adding: “It cannot be open season on our elected officials — it just can’t.”
Acting Inspector General Heather Hill of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) said that the sentence should “serve as a warning to anyone who is considering emulating Mr. Littlejohn’s actions.”
“TIGTA relentlessly investigates individuals who illicitly access and disclose taxpayer information, regardless of their personal motivation,” Hill added. “TIGTA appreciates the commitment of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in ensuring those who abuse their positions of public trust are held accountable for their actions.”

Federal prosecutors said Littlejohn sought his job as an IRS consultant specifically for the purpose of leaking Trump's returns in 2019. Littlejohn had done work for Booz Allen from 2008 to 2013, but he returned to the company as an IRS consultant in 2017. Prosecutors say the career move was meant to grant him access to private tax information that would allow him to leak Trump's tax returns. The DOJ says Littlejohn considered Trump to be a threat to democracy when, in fact, it is assholes like him who are the real threat.
When Biden loses the election this year, don't be surprised if he pardons this scumcrumpet.
