According to the article, he could have been charged with thousands of counts each punishable by 5 years but the Justice Department chose to charge only one count. The Judge criticized the decision but could do nothing about it. She gave him the maximum sentence possible and since there is no parole at the federal level he will have to serve the full sentence.
Relative of mine worked a temp job with the IRS. Decent wages, but was warned of very harsh penalties of using the job position to even LOOK at friends, relatives or tax records of Hollywood stars.
Glad to see that the threat actually has consequences. It's a Federal offense.
"Violations of IRS tax return confidentiality law may be charged as felonies. Violations may be punished by up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. Victims of the unlawful disclosure of tax matters may also sue for damages of $1,000 or more for each act. Federal employees convicted of this crime must be fired, in addition to criminal law charges and potential civil liability."
I don't know; but I am all for equal punishment. I would go it a bit more, I have no issue with making it capital punishment, and enforce it across the board. Whether it's Pres Trump, Joe the Plumber or Hunter Biden - you leak private information, you forfeit your life.
Molest a kid - permanent fix. Sell information to our enemies - permanent fix. Steal votes, aid in an illegal invasion, cheat people out of money - rope is cheap. We need more Beekeepers.
Stupid asshole probably thought it would bring down President Trump once and for all and that he would be worshiped as a hero and never charged. Now he's going to be someones bitch and traded around for packs of cigs.
yeah. my coworker that is Captain Woke of the Woke mentioned this today... and I said this... its been so long nobody will GAF about it. The damage is done, narrative wise. And she agreed. Maybe thats progress.
He'll be out in 2 with a book deal, and a job at MSDNC
Is there parole at federal level? I thought there wasn't
He's cute, and not very robust looking. Don't drop the soap.
The elites who hired him got 0 years.

I'm hoping the prison community will dole out more appropriate punishment.

Did they ever find who leaked Joe the Plumber's info?

I don't personally feel 5 years is enough.
Cause it’s not connected to the actual US government.

nice picture, and let's assume it was the person that committed the crime, just for today !
Charles Littlejohn is his name? LMAO, this has to be a movie.
To the the judge: We're a Constitutional REPUBLIC!!!!!!

Biden will quietly pardon him on the way out and he'll eventually get his reward.
THIS COUNTRY IS NOT A DAMN DEMOCRACY...WE the people are a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
And shee be a damn judge on top of that!!!!

Agree. Unfortunately that's how white hats work. Delayed justice. Very delayed, always.
