DOJ Preparing Another "Sweetheart Deal" for an Approved Criminal; Merrick Garland Is Gearing Up to Let The Guy Who Leaked Trump's Taxes Off Lightly

Merrick's Secret Police have a nice list and a naughty list.

Illegally leaking Biden's opponent's confidential tax records gets you on the "nice" list.

Oh, and he also leaked the records of 7,500 other Americans.

And he's getting a sweetheart deal.

But this is still America, right?

James Varney:

Former IRS contractor Charles Edward Littlejohn, who stole and helped publicize the confidential tax records of Donald Trump and an estimated 7,500 other wealthy Americans, could face little or no jail time when he's sentenced later this month, because the DOJ allowed him to plead guilty to a single felony count.
In a new court filing, prosecutors acknowledge the plea deal "does not account for the fact that he leaked thousands of individuals' tax returns. His [sentencing] range would be the same today if he had leaked only a single return."
But instead of seeking prison time for each of his offenses -- or even for the two separate mass thefts he committed, one in 2019 and another in 2020 -- the DOJ is asking a federal judge to sentence Littlejohn to just 60 months, the maximum for a single offense under the statute. Some political leaders angry over the plea deal say he should get 60 years, not months, for his crime -- the biggest heist of IRS taxpayer data in history.
Attorneys for Littlejohn, 38, argue he actually deserves an even lower sentence, closer to the presentencing report's range of four to 10 months, in part because he leaked the reams of stolen private income-tax data to "reputable news organizations -- the New York Times and ProPublica -- that he knew would handle the information responsibly."
...

The Times and ProPublica published dozens of stories based on the personal tax files the former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor electronically smuggled out of the IRS. Those articles largely advanced Democratic calls for further investigations into Trump and the need to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Against the backdrop of prosecutions of Donald Trump in an election year and the collapse of Hunter Biden's earlier no-jail plea deal, which a Delaware judge rejected because it was "not straightforward" and contained "atypical provisions," Littlejohn's plea agreement is raising new questions about the politicization of justice.

Invasion USA Updates:

Biden gave Gov. Abbott a 1 PM EST deadline to remove his National Guard troops

Abbott refused

So Biden issued punitive sanctions against Texas by pausing liquid natural gas development opportunities, which will directly hurt the Texas economy

169 There has been an ongoing helium shortage for almost two years. A lot of it was caused by the Feds. They shut down distribution at one major facility for almost a year because of a bunch of OSHA violations. The Feds have been mismanaging the He reserve for a long time.

Abbott is a Good Old Boy... that's not quite the same as Party Man. A couple years ago I would have said he was a bit of a Bush acolyte. I suspect he may be a bit smarter than most and saw the changes coming before others did.

Old School Texas Republicans were basically non-crazy Democrats. That's changing. Slowly, as these things are want to do, but changing none the less. Abbott is trying to stay ahead of the mob.

Folks will point to the Paxton acquittal as a turning point but I think it was covid. Abbott didn't shut Texas down... he doesn't have that authority. He may have wanted to but he didn't do it. Then he saw a lot of anger about the shutdowns that happened. That got him thinking. He's been on a pretty good trajectory since.

245 It'd be a shame if some dude went to her wacky house, tied her to a bed and made a very sexy gunpoint demand for her PIN and account numbers.

A man would be noted by many women. The rooms have curtains, not doors--and yes, I've been in Bergdorf's dressingrooms. Any rape would announce itself up and down the corridor. Of all the places a woman is safe from rape!

248 This was a case where Democrats could have their cake and eat it too. Instead, they prefer to just have their cake. They could have leaked Trump's tax returns, as that was always the goal and stood up for the rule of law. However, action against the Trump leaker would jeopardize the people who hired him and discourage further leaking against Republicans. So Democrats chose the option that discouraged the rule of law and encourages corruption by Democrats.
