UPDATE:
The Biden IRS leaked taxpayer information of over 405,000 Americans — including President Trump’s.
Targeting political adversaries is SOP with weaponized government agencies.
Have no fear, America. Your tax return information is safe and secure. IRS computers are better protected than Fort Knox. All IRS employees have impeccable morals and are honest as the day is long. It’s the IRS contractors you’ve got to worry about.
One IRS contractor, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., has been charged with stealing the IRS files of former President Donald Trump and thousands of other wealthy, prominent taxpayers. Littlejohn worked for the IRS as a contract employee from 2018 to 2020.
While employed as an IRS contractor, Littlejohn allegedly stole “tax returns and return information associated with Public Official A” and disclosed that information to a media outlet. A source told numerous news outlets that “Public Official A” is Donald Trump.
Politico reports that “the charges were filed as a [sic] ‘criminal information’ rather than an indictment.” This usually indicates that a plea deal has been struck. Littlejohn is on the hook for a five-year prison sentence for revealing the tax information — a small price to pay for such a massive breach of the public trust.
Curiously — or, perhaps, not curiously — there hasn’t been a word about the entire affair from the Biden administration. I guess it doesn’t give a hoot about privacy.
IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement, “Any disclosure of taxpayer information is unacceptable.”
Yeah, right. Only if it’s against Donald Trump.
“The IRS has put in place new protocols and protections that tightened security, and our aggressive work in this critical area continues in order to protect the tax and financial information of taxpayers.”
Horse. Barn door. Egg on face.
Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said, “While many questions remain, at the very least, IRS guardrails failed to prevent this brazen breach of taxpayer rights.”
“It goes without saying that resolving these and other ongoing security issues at the IRS, as well as identifying and making whole the individuals impacted by this breach, must be the IRS’s highest priority.”
Some Republicans are asking the IRS, “What took so long to find this guy”?
Compare that shit with the massive IRS coverup and obstruction of the investigation into the Biden family’s tax evasion and money laundering.
IRS whistleblowers are being targeted for retaliation by the IRS. Revealing corruption will not be tolerated.
