With trust in the federal government at an all-time low, government officials should particularly avoid the appearance of bias and favoritism in all their actions.

Then, six months later, ProPublica published articles based on the personal income tax documents of Elon Musk and major Republican donors. The data in these articles were used by Democrats on Capitol Hill to push for higher taxes. The perpetrator of this crime was caught. His name is Charles Littlejohn, a Democratic Party donor, as are his parents. He should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Each and every Littlejohn theft of a private IRS document and dissemination to the press was a felony, carrying a five-year sentence. Littlejohn stole hundreds of documents and gave them to countless reporters. He should be facing a lengthy jail sentence.

The contractor that employed Littlejohn, Booz Allen Hamilton, was recently awarded a new contract to help modernize the IRS computer system. Since Booz Allen Hamilton employees give over 75% of their donations to Democrats, hundreds more potential Charles Littlejohns will have access to the private data of Republican voters.
