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.
Thank you for taking the time and for your words once more. You’ve given much to think we the shakiness in hope can be chalked simply to less experiences; Armstrong was already 90 when I came into this world.
But I can conceptualize what you mean about his message; it resonated enough it’s been covered by other musicians I’ve listened to.
I still fear the bounds of faith in our shared humanity and the meaning of the social contract may be tested, but while I have the conviction I certainly do not wish for that.
I’ll take your words in and accept them as a truth for the world.
A world I’d rather live in even if I don’t see how to square the sins of the figurative fathers of the past with any actions I could do for the children of today, starting with my literal one.
Mayhap the hope of the past and faith in common humanity will mingle with youthful vision somewhere down the line and I’ll have done my part that way, even as I contemplate and rightly fear the alternatives.
