Clemency Request ‘Pending’ for Leaker of Trump’s and Others’ Taxes | RealClearInvestigations
This case reminds me a bit of the Luigi case.
I’m back in the great satan for a bit and went food shopping yesterday. $70 for sausage and spaghetti sauce ingredients, bread, ham and muenster cheese, mustard and mayo and some hash browns and eggs.
Seems that we’ll be seeing more and more of the rich vs the po’ and us and and them following the LA fires, $2000/hours private firefighters “defneding” the homes of the wealthy while poor black incarcerated men haven’t slept for 48 hours straight and they are helping out as well – taken in paraphrase from a reddit post which I don’t believe but post for effect.
Calls to release Littlejohn were led by University of Michigan tax professor Reuven Avi-Yonah. In a letter to the president last month, petitioners argued the leaker should be offered leniency because he disclosed “highly relevant information to the voting public.” Though they acknowledged the privacy concerns of such a breach, they said it nonetheless was important to expose “how little tax” the “super-rich” pay.
“Going after Mr. Littlejohn creates the perception that the system protects the interests of the super-rich taxpayers whose returns he leaked,” they rationalized in their four-page letter to Biden. They added that his five-year sentence was “particularly harsh.”
Yeesh–
