That's a longer sentence than many of the January 6th traitors.

The judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

Because stealing and releasing tax documents is the same thing as attempting to violently overthrow the government.

Yet holding onto classified documents, then hiding them and lying about it to investigators for months gets nothing but a very stern finger-wagging?

Lol check out this bs: "The judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

“It engenders the same fear that January 6 does,” Reyes added."

Leak a billionaires tax records: 5 years.

Literally rape while a billionaire: 0 years.

Pretty damn fast compared to how long its taking to prosecute Trump.

If you declare you are running for President, it should trigger an automatic disclosure of your entire tax record.

Aight, I mean sure. It was wrong, but 5 years? I understand that not all judges sentence in the same way but 5 years? Insurrection gets basically gets butt pats and this guy gets 5 years?

Anyone has ever deserved a pardon it's this guy

This man is a hero.

Sucks that leaking those returns moved the needle exactly 0% in the fight against Trump.

He was providing a public service since trump refused to release them like every other presidential candidate has done for decades. This should be considered the same as whistle blowing.

They made an example of them. That judge is well enough off to be thoroughly upset that somebody might release their crooked tax documents.

Honestly I think they should slip something into the law, for this type of leak if the person was lying and you release the document proving them lying that you get a slap on the wrist.

too bad judge Reyes isnt going to tell us how serious it is to steal classified documents and sell them.

Charles Littlejohn is a hero.

Coming from. Sweden where all tax records are public, it seems insane to get 5 years for revealing taxes.

How did they get him tried and sentenced so fast?

Every time I question why Trump isn't in jail already people keep telling me "these things take time".

Given that Trump is a high profile case, allowing them to take twice the time of a normal person would have still put him behind bars already.

In a sane world, he would have been given a Medal of Honor

I don't know if this sort of thing is allowed, but if outsiders can donate money to his prison commissary account, I will definitely donate.

If society survives long enough for this to become history, the act will be seen as as heroic. The hardest thing for the relatively comfortable, myself included, to do these days is risk that relative comfort and sacrifice our futures (civil and professional) for something that acts against all of the slow motion attacks on democracy going on right now. I don't know enough about him individually to say, but the act on its face us heroic and needed.

I've actually met this guy a few years ago... crazy... he was a pretty nice guy from what I recall - brought homemade cinnamon buns to a party.

Anyways, his friends set up a gofundme to donate for his legal fees, since of course it costs thousands to continue defending himself and his actions...

Still more time than trump will ever serve.

So who's donating to his commissary? I'd be willing to throw a 20 every now and then.

Biden needs to pardon this guy right after elections

Careful guys, he’s a hero
