Did Anyone See the Story about the IRS Auditor who Stole Tax Return Information?

Specifically Trump's. Charles Edward Littlejohn of Washington pleaded guilty to unauthorized disclosure of tax return information. He worked as a consultant from 2008-2013, quit then returned in 2017 with the sole purpose of disclosing personal tax information.

He knew he could not search specifically for Trump because that would set up red flags so he submitted sophisticated searches on other presidents including Trump then downloaded them to machines which he later destroyed.

Boy his timing is impeccable. Who hired this mastermind? Do you think he will serve his 5 yrs? me either

No but I remember that both Charlie Rangel and Timothy Geithner both involved with writing tax law and one the Head of the Treasury. Both had serious tax issues as in non payment of taxes.

@soar2newhighs it figures doesn't it.

@soar2newhighs Didn't Geithner fail to file and pay his self employment tax? That's 15% of his self employment earnings that he tried to cheat on. For anyone who has ever filled out tax returns it's almost impossible to skip that. On the IRS's side it's an obvious enough omission that a computer would catch it and flag it, The IRS gets a copy of the 1099 to compare against your tax return. The only way to try to slip it past the IRS is by misrepresenting earned income as passive income.

@Heartlander I know he had tax issues; but being the secretary of the treasury , he needed to make sure his skeletons didn’t get noticed. He didn’t and he was found out.

@soar2newhighs we never got to see how he tried to slip that by. It was treated like an “Oops? I didn’t know…”
