“Idealistic”??? Only by the New York Times definition - invading the privacy of conservatives but not liberals.

most Americans don’t want to see his taxes (and they’re so complex he has to hire a big CPA team to do them anyway)...
we know he’s made a lot of money
and
we know that since he’s in business and has lots of real estate too, that his taxes must include many tax deductions (this being the system that CONGRESS has provided)

do I like the tax system? no.
do I wanna see PDT’s taxes? I’d much rather watch Wile E. Coyote cartoon reruns, thanks anyway

The D’s are crazy to think they can make any political hay out of a president’s taxes

they’re only making fools of themselves, imho

“...to complete a Boren Scholarship program studying math and Russian in Kazakhstan. The U.S. Defense Department-funded program will begin Aug. 2...”

The kid illegally hacks into a U.S. Federal Government computer (IRS)...in an effort to interfere in a U.S. Presidential election...and still gets to participate in a program funded by the U.S. Federal Government (DOD)?

WTH?

> who finished his studies in May but will not get his degree until he completes a study-abroad program next May

Convicted of a crime with a 2-year jail sentence and they’re going to let him out of the country, too.

What a farce of law we have. The left gets a free pass on everything, we are completely unprotected by law.

They show their true character by abandoning policy debate in favor of “the politics of personal destruction”, as Bill Clinton once so eloquently described it.

"“My client is an intelligent, inquisitive, and idealistic young guy,”

The road to Hell is paved more by idealism than good intentions.

Hitler and Stalin and the rest of the mass murderers surely were quite idealistic, their ideals so high it mitigates what they did. According to this defense.

I'd put him in jail for 2 year. If he's a good kid, which I doubt, he could use that time to build himself into something valuable for himself and the world.

... 'didn't know what we would do with the files' ... I doubt that, kiddo.

They want to publicize who his business partners are so the SJWs can blackmail them into abandoning doing business with him.

Add this to the list of why the income tax should be abolished...

The IRS _cannot_ protect your personal information—full stop.

Had he hacked into Obama’s transcript and found he (Obama) was registered as a foreign student, he would have spent 2 years in the slammer.

Ans the Judge is so considerate and letting him travel to Kazakhstan before his sentencing. He will probably get a suspended sentence and public service working for Antifa.

More likely vanished or found dead in an alley.

The judge was nominated to the bench by W. That explains a lot.

Well he is obviously a commie Rat, so you shouldn’t expect him to face consequences. I’m surprised he even had to go to court. Justice might yet be served since Kazakhstan doesn’t seem to be the safest place in the world.

Interesting, a commie Rat majoring in math and Russia going to Kazakhstan. Frankly, sounds like CIA recruit to me.

“He thought that he could get the tax returns that were promised to him by the candidate.”

The lawyer is a liar. According to this report this was said to the public, not too the judge. Say that to the judge and get sanctioned.

“My client is an intelligent, inquisitive, and idealistic young guy,” van der Veen told reporters after the hearing. “He thought that he could get the tax returns that were promised to him by the candidate.”


He says his client is intelligent and then says he is a total moron in the next line. So this “intelligent” man thought he could “hack” a government system to get tax returns that he is not entitled to

He got caught, so he wasn’t that intelligent, and was a lousy hacker. Only good hackers don’t get caught.

Anyone also notice how this “Russian Hacker” was out to help Hillary? Russia Collusion? Did Hillary know about this?

BTW kid, the IRS made a statement years ago that Donald Trump’s tax returns are NOT in the IRS computer systems, instead they are stored in a vault in a secured room that require two separate people with access to open up.

Sorry Mario, but the tax returns are in another castle

“Hiemstra, a native of St. Paul Park, Minn., pleaded guilty to accessing a computer without authorization and attempting to access a computer without authorization to obtain government information. The maximum sentence he faces for both crimes is two years in prison, two years of supervised release, and a $200,000 fine.”

These sentences are woefully inadequate, he should incarcerated for ten times that length and ten times that long on probation.
