DOJ: Ex-IRS employee who leaked Trump's tax returns intentionally got job to disclose records
The IRS consultant who released Donald Trump's tax returns, Charles Littlejohn, got the job to intentionally disclose the records, prosecutors said.
A former Internal Revenue Service contractor, who leaked tax information about Donald Trump and other wealthy individuals to news organizations, got his job to intentionally to spread the confidential records, according to Justice Department prosecutors.
Charles Edward Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, pleaded guilty in October to unauthorized disclosure of tax return and return information. U.S. District Judge Ana Reye scheduled sentencing for Jan. 29. Prosecutors recommended Tuesday he receive the maximum sentence of five years in prison.
“After applying to work as an IRS consultant with the intention of accessing and disclosing tax returns, Defendant weaponized his access to unmasked taxpayer data to further his own personal, political agenda, believing that he was above the law,” wrote prosecutors Corey Amundson, chief of the Justice Department’s public integrity section, Jennifer Clarke and Jonathan Jacobson.

It doesn't sound to me like he thought he was above the law. He seemed to know the consequences. He just didn't think that Trump should be above the law. Or, at the very least, above presidential decorum.
Yet the orange buffoon still walks the streets and continues raising hatred.
"raising hatred" ... How did he hurt you and would like to talk about it?
Sir, you must be confused, this isn't reddit. Take your trolling bullshit and go back there, thanks.
