Man Who Leaked Billionaire’s Tax Returns to Expose Unfair System Given 5 Years in Prison

Charles Littlejohn Exposed the Crimes of the Ultra-Wealthy

Charles Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor, is no criminal — he is a hero who has shone a light on the true criminals in our society: the ultra-wealthy tax dodgers.

Littlejohn’s courageous actions in leaking confidential tax information to news outlets like the New York Times and ProPublica have revealed the shocking extent to which the richest Americans exploit loopholes and shady accounting tricks to avoid paying their fair share. These revelations, as the Jacobin article rightly states, “would spark meaningful changes in the tax code” in a functioning democracy.

Instead, the Biden administration has chosen to viciously prosecute Littlejohn, sentencing him to up to 5 years in prison for his “crime” of informing the public. This is a disgraceful and cowardly move that lays bare the government’s true allegiance — not to the people, but to the wealthy elite who pull the strings.
