LOL...you are so fucking clueless some times! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MADE THE POINT THAT THE IRS LEAKING CONFIDENTIAL TAX PAYER INFORMATION WAS NOT A BIG DEAL BECAUSE LEAKS HAPPEN IN WASHINGTON ALL THE TIME...I POINTED OUT THAT LEAKS FROM THE IRS WERE NOT COMMONPLACE.
Shouting doesn't make your weak argument any stronger..
But here's a case where it was done.
The Raw Story | Treasury Department investigating US Attorney for leaking state Supreme Court Justice's tax returns
The Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility and the US Treasury Department are investigating allegations that a Bush-appointed US Attorney inappropriately shared private income tax information on one of his targets with a state judicial commission that included one of his relatives, according to court documents and a source close to the investigation.
Dunnica Lampton, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi, is already under investigation for allegations of political prosecutions in his state. According to new documents viewed by Raw Story, Lampton allegedly shared the private income tax records of then-Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Oliver E. Diaz Jr. with the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance and with one of its then-commissioners, his distant cousin Leslie B. Lampton.
The US Attorney also shared the tax records of Diaz's wife, Jennifer, and those were also allegedly shared without authorization, said a source close to the DOJ investigation. Documents shown to Raw Story relating to the case confirm that a criminal investigation is underway. These documents did not include the Diaz's tax returns themselves.
Lampton was allowed to retire in 2009 and he passed away in 2011.
