More "Two Justices" in D.C.

You recall that an IRS contractor leaked hundreds of tax returns--including those of Donald Trump--to the press.  That was 'with malice of forethought,' as he went to work at the IRS explicitly to gain access to those records.

But since those were Trump's records.....

...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.

Now get THIS part:

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.” They say a 60-month term is “equivalent to a 15-level upward departure” from the range prosecutors originally agreed to in the plea deal, and such a wide departure would be unprecedented....

Let's ignore the part about "responsible, reputable" news orgs, which like "Army Intelligence" is a contradiction in terms.

Let's go, instead, to the plea deal offering this guy only FOUR MONTHS in Club Fed.  

After all, he leaked Trump taxes, right?  Maybe Sponge-Brain-Shits-Pants could make him Undersecretary of the Treasury, or send a few million yuan to this Hero of the Deep State.

Why not?  It's already clear as crystal what's going on here.
