Last fall, an IRS contractor, Charles Littlejohn, admitted to accepting a job with the IRS with the goal of stealing Trump's tax returns, which he did.
The Gateway Pundit provided an extensive report on Littlejohn and his crimes.
We now know that Littlejohn will likely serve very little or no prison time, because the Justice Department allowed him to plead guilty to only one felony charge. That's because Trump officials will go to prison for almost nothing.

From the clear real investigations:
Leniency in dealing with the leaker of thousands of anti-Trump tax returns
Another “sweetheart deal” negotiated by the Justice Department under President Biden in a politically charged case is clearly under scrutiny.
Former IRS contractor Charles Edward Littlejohn, who stole and helped release secret tax records for Donald Trump and an estimated 7,500 other wealthy Americans, may face little to no prison time when he is sentenced later this month, because the Justice Department allowed… him to plead guilty. One felony count.
In a new court filing, prosecutors acknowledged that the plea deal “does not take into account the fact that he leaked the tax returns of thousands of individuals.” [sentencing] The range would be the same today if it had leaked just one return.
But instead of seeking prison time for each of his crimes — or even for the two separate mass robberies he committed, one in 2019 and another in 2020 — the Justice Department is asking a federal judge to sentence Littlejohn to just 60 months in prison, the maximum of a year. . One crime under the law. Some political leaders angry about the plea deal say he should be sentenced to 60 years, not months, for his crime — the largest theft of IRS taxpayer data in history.
Lawyers for Littlejohn, 38, say he actually deserves a lesser sentence, closer to the report's range of four to 10 months, in part because he leaked large amounts of stolen private income tax data to “reputable news organizations – New York.” Times and ProPublica — which he knew would handle the information responsibly.”
We do not have equal justice before the law. The left gets away with doing almost everything they want to do.
