We thought these “soak the rich” hypocrites had folded up shop after being embarrassed by UP at their “tax us more!” presser.  We asked them to sign a pledge to voluntarily pay extra taxes, and they refused.

But no, they are still around. Their new project, believe it or not, is a campaign begging Biden to pardon Chaz Littlejohn.  He’s the criminal who stole up to 15 years of tax returns from an estimated 50,000 taxpayers, and sent them to the New York Times and ProPublica (the liberal activist organization founded by subprime billionaire Herb Sandler).

Littlejohn got a sweetheart deal to plead guilty on just a single charge to cover his thousands of crimes, but the judge was critical of the deal and imposed the maximum five-year sentence. Frankly, he still got off light given the scope of his crimes. A pardon would be scandalous and invite more leftist subversive activity like this – which is why it will probably happen.

The irony is that it’s illegal activities like this that build the very distrust in public institutions that the left always moans about. If Americans don’t believe their financial privacy is protected by the IRS, there will be far MORE tax avoidance.

We think Trump should go in the opposite direction and investigate which federal crimes ProPublica committed by their acceptance and ongoing use of these stolen documents to promote their pro-tax agenda.
