I wonder if he still thinks it was worth the risk.

Imagine all the purple haired androgynous polyamorous gender fluids who will be writing to him in prison though. He’ll have his pick when he gets out.

Good for the Judge - a recent Biden appointee I might add.

Faced 1000 counts.
Sentenced on one. Even the judge was surprised that DoJ only pushed for one.

The judge ordered the doj to explain their leniency.

Yup.
"I have no words for it."
I looked, in vain, for their explanation.

Expecting the DOJ to be fair or reasonable sets a very dangerous precedent. Under such restrictions, it’s likely that Trump will not be convicted. It is a moral imperative that the DOJ has no consistent principles of justice.

Clemency Request 'Pending' for Leaker of Trump's and Others' Taxes
The Biden administration is formally considering commuting the sentence of the convicted felon who stole and leaked incoming President Trump's tax records along with those of thousands of other taxpayers, in the biggest tax data heist in U.S. history.
A search of the Justice Department's pardon database reveals Charles Edward Littlejohn -- who just began his five-year sentence in May -- has been assigned a clemency case number. It says a petition for "commutation of sentence" was recently sought and is "pending."
A number of liberal watchdog groups, including Revolving Door Project and Patriotic Millionaires, have been lobbying President Biden to free Littlejohn from prison because they believe his leaks provided a "public service." They argue he is a "selfless defender of tax fairness" for exposing how Trump and other wealthy Americans, including billionaires Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, and Jeff Bezos, take advantage of tax breaks to reduce their tax bills. Littlejohn leaked the sensitive IRS data to the New York Times and the liberal news site ProPublica, which published them in a series of articles before and after the 2020 election.

No. And in fact, they should proceed with the other 999 counts, now.

I’ll bet that story is false. Any federal prisoner can file a petition for clemency.

Specifically that Biden is considering it. No doubt he wants his freedom. As does his mother.
