Slap on the Wrist? Former IRS Contractor Charles Littlejohn Gets Five Years in Leak of Tax Docs

Back in September, Twitchy reported on a former IRS consultant charged with leaking tax documents of wealthy Americans, including those of former President Trump and many others.

Today, that IRS consultant, Charles Littlejohn, was sentenced.

Five years, and a $5,000.

NBC News reports:

The former Internal Revenue Service contractor who leaked the tax records of former President Donald Trump to The New York Times as well as the tax records of billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to ProPublica was sentenced Monday to five years in prison.

Charles Littlejohn pleaded guilty in October, and prosecutors sought the statutory maximum of five years in federal prison, saying that he "abused his position by unlawfully disclosing thousands of Americans’ federal tax returns and other private financial information to multiple news organizations." Prosecutors said that Littlejohn "weaponized his access to unmasked taxpayer data to further his own personal, political agenda, believing that he was above the law."

Five years and $5,000 seems a little bit lenient, does it not?

Twitter/X was feeling the same thing:

Sure feels that way.

But no one is above the law. Or something.

Really is a rake step, isn't it?

And you know what they say about karma. It's a b***h.

Thousands. 

There were a lot of victims. Five years seems light.

A sentiment others shared.

Others were more supportive of Littlejohn.

'Unless you have something to hide, why do you care' is always the tell of a person who has no idea how justice works. Or privacy. Our income is no one's business. Nor is what we pay in taxes.

Of course someone is going to say that.

Biden probably would, too.

Are you serious right now?

'We can break the law if we don't like the target of our law breaking' is a heck of an argument. And one the Left wouldn't like if it was applied to them.

Anyway, back to sanity.

22 years for texting. From another state.

Yes, it was conspicuous.

No one's tax records should be leaked.

We haven't forgotten about Lerner, who is enjoying her full pension and not facing any accountability for her role in the IRS scandal.

It's crumbs of justice, but we'll take it, we suppose.
