The following report is by The Trends Journal:
Littlejohn pleaded guilty back in October to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns, which comes with a five-year prison sentence. Judge Ana Reyes called his crime an attack on “the sitting president of the United States and an attack on our constitutional democracy,” according to CNN. “We’re talking about someone who … pulled off the biggest heist in IRS history.”
She said she was disappointed that the Department of Justice just brought one count.
Littlejohn said he acted solely out of the “sincere misguided belief” that “we as a country make the best decisions when we are all properly informed.”
Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, or FAIR, credited Littlejohn for bringing attention to how Trump and a “whole bunch of other rich people pay next to nothing in taxes, while the rest of us frantically file tax returns and see our wages sucked away to fund the military, aid for Israel and corporate subsidies.”
ProPublica reported in 2021 that the 25 richest people in the U.S. legally pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than many ordinary workers do, the Associated Press reported.
The article noted that Alex Sammon, a writer for Slate, posted on X: “This guy is a hero who showed us how the super-rich steal from the American public.” He continued, “the judge gave him a max sentence, claiming it was ‘a moral imperative’ to punish him as harshly as possible.”
TRENDPOST: Chelsea Manning, Eric Snowden, and Julian Assange are all examples of democracy—U.S. style. If you go after the powerful—and not in a way like Fox News’s Lachlan Murdoch refers to it as “the loyal opposition,” you will be punished.
Imagine, for a moment, how the media class in the U.S. would get itself worked up into a lather if a Russian court handed down a maximum prison sentence for someone who exposed how Russian President Vladimir Putin manages to avoid taxes?
Reyes expressed true disappointment that she could not sentence the 38-year-old to an even longer prison sentence.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
Proverbs 28:11, Proverbs 18:23
We the plebs can see through their rose-tinted glass castles, but just don’t start calling them out, exposing it, and throw a stone at it, lest they answer you roughly and sentence you to a full prison sentence, rotting away behind a jail cell the rest of your life for pointing out the obvious.
We the serfs are being bled dry of all our incomes and savings, while these thieving criminals are pick-pocketing us and giving us the deepest wedgies possible. And people still think we have a free country… Grow up!
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

are the documents showing how they do it available to the public to see ?
Another judge corrupt to the core.
I’m with Rover. I’d like to see that. Though I’ve always believed that the IRS code is purposely kept so complex & convoluted as to be able to weaponize it against anyone they want to.

I also used to point out that all these ‘concerned politicians’ were invested in the same interests that they claimed to fight. And, it was truly a sign-of-the-times all the calls to brokers after that Senate Committee meeting on covid! Divesting themselves of medical stock.
I’ve heard that the devil is in how the IRS TERMS are defined. They use common English words and change their definitions. With a good lawyer most would not be required to pay income taxes. It’s possible this whistle blower would have gotten into even more trouble if he had exposed that big secret. A us citizen is defined as someone who lives in the 10 square miles of the district of Columbia.
And yet Bidenflation gets by with all his shenanigans, as well as his son. Yeah, America is going to hell in a handbasket, right along with the rest of the corrupt world leaders and their followers.
In Canada, people have been intimidated and brainwashed to believe we have to pay income taxes. Ignorance is not always bliss, but it can be expensive! Where I live, we have the “Income Tax Act of Nova Scotia” or the “Income Tax Act of Canada”; neither one are laws!
An “act” is legislation that has not yet been passed into law. Therefore, failing to pay income taxes is not breaking a law; a law cannot be broken when it doesn’t exist. In fact, law courts have no right to be penalizing people for income tax (Act) evasion because they are to preside over broken laws, not acts. People are wrongly paying income taxes, allowing themselves to be robbed of their hard-earned money. We deserve what we get, for failing to do our due diligence and uniting together to defeat this deception!
Years ago, my accountant used to get hauled up into court every five years or so, for “income tax evasion”. He said, “It was cheaper to pay a $500 fine every five years or so, than to pay thousands of dollars in taxes each and every year!”
The last time he was hauled into court, he shared what I shared in my previous paragraph. He asked the judge if he could show him these facts on his own computer in his chambers. Permission was granted; a short recess was declared. Richard brought up the Acts, and the judge was shocked! Richard asked, “How can you penalize me for breaking a law where none exists?”
The judge said, “I can’t just let you walk away free; it will set a precedent!” They colluded, and went back to the courtroom. Richard pleaded guilty to the “offense”, the judge sentenced him to a $2,000 fine. He worded the judgment in such a way that Richard didn’t have to pay a penny!
Several weeks later, he had a knock on his door; two Revenue Canada agents were there to perform an audit. Richard refused them entry into his house, but he showed them the judgment. They both read it, gave it back to him, and said, “You won’t be seeing us again Mr. _____; have a nice day.” He never did; he died of a heart attack a short time later. I wonder, to this day, if the judge pays any income taxes???
