A consultant for the IRS has been charged with leaking to the news media private tax information about former President Donald Trump and thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people.
Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole the files while working as a government contractor and gave them to two news organizations, the Justice Department announced Friday.
The agency doesn’t identify the outlets, though it appears to be referring to ProPublica and the New York Times.
…
Littlejohn faces a maximum five years in prison, the Justice Department said.
The charges were filed as a “criminal information” rather than an indictment, which typically means the defendant has entered a plea deal.
The announcement comes more than two years after ProPublica said it had obtained a massive trove of information about the taxes and incomes of wealthy people, many of them well known, going back some 15 years. It published a series of stories showing many of them paid little or nothing in taxes.
It’s convenient for this charge to happen now while a friendly administration is in charge.
The news organizations should be held liable as well. They know they should have not published anything about that data.
With the two-tiered justice system we’ve got in place today (that Merrick Garland tells us doesn’t exist, lol), we know this person will be put on the “Democrat” track — meaning, a symbolic slap on the wrist with no real consequences for these actions.
Charles Littlejohn plead guilty. However he faces maximum of only five years in stir. Hardly seems either a deterrent to future such behaviour by others, nor adequate punishment for Mr. Littlejohn considering nature and scope of his crimes.

so here is what happened, lets say he did this on the first monday in july 2018. Tuesday am and at 0-dark thrity, the log of all transactions was closed and rolled to the next day, a job somewhere ran that created a large set of datasets and it was washed.
Trump, like govt employees, has a protected TIN, so system accesses using his TIN kicked out. then the ID of the person who did the access was compared to see if they were assigned the TIN. BUT! in the case of the prez, only a very very small set of agents, and senior ones at that, can be assigned the prez records. so by 10am, noon at the latest, a set of 'alarms' (not really alarms, just emails notices with the outlook red ! showed up.) you cannot in any way, circumvent this system.
whomever got them went to their boss in TIGTA (lookitup) and probably a few bosses up and up and up until an obama appointee in both TIGTA and the IRS made the call to bury this. 2nd time in the last set of years the US taxpayers got bamboozled.
Because he pled guilty and accepted the max 5 year country club sentence (more like 9 months) and because a Soros shell corporation issued a 7 figure 1099 in his name, this will NEVER be looked at.
so given the parameters, by the first tuesday after the first monday in july of 2018, everyone knew WHO broke the law at WHAT time, and WHERE they were sitting.
But according to democrats, this is ok, because...welll TRUMP!
There are no dark recesses in the US govt where the DNC corruption is not present. none.

There's no parole in federal system, if sentenced to "X" days or years that is what one serves. There might be some time shaved off for good behaviour but otherwise it is what it is.
