Seems to me that the IRS leaking the Plea Agreement would be at least contempt of court.
With certain exceptions, court proceedings are open to the public which is why one is able to read articles in newspapers about certain cases. The only way that the IRS' leaking the Plea Agreement by sending email to individuals would constitute contempt of court is if there was a gag order. *********************************************************************** Lynne L.
