      Charles Littlejohn was the IRS contractor who leaked the tax returns of Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison.

      Candidly, I don’t think it’s long enough. The IRS has such an incredible advantage over taxpayers, IRS employees can easily feel that they’re above the law. I think the punishment should be more severe.

      The judge thought so too. She complained about the prosecutors only bringing one count.

      The smugness of the perp with his “wrong thing for the right reasons” rationale is sickening. He abused a position of trust in order to advance his political motives.

      And, the press that went right along with it can bite me, too. Rachel Maddow waving Trump’s illegally obtained tax return comes to mind. I believe in a free press, and a free press should be a restraint on state power not a conduit of it!
