From NationalReview.com:
Lois Lerner, the Internal Revenue Service’s director of Exempt Organizations currently on paid leave, has not had any of her computer access restricted since she abdicated her responsibilities, according to an IRS source with knowledge of the situation.
Lerner was placed on administrative leave on May 21 after refusing to tender her resignation, and logged into the IRS’s computer system using her agency computer as recently as June 4, the source tells me. She has the ability to access the same information that was available to her before she was placed on leave. The sources tells National Review Online:
[Lerner] can still access taxpayer data. If your duties do not inlude dealing with taxpayers, you are forbidden from seeing the information. That is a violation of IRS policy, and if she actually accesses any file that contains any Personal Identifiable Information, it is a felony violation. That would include emails that she has in her files discussing any taxpayer case that contains the name, address, phone numbers or tax data from a case. Actual Unauthorized Access (IRS uses the term UNAX) would be a really good reason for the new boss to can her in a hurry. I am sure a simple examination of her email files and hard drive would discover she still has taxpayer data.
Since Lerner is not currently dealing with taxpayers while on leave, she is forbidden from accessing any taxpayer data, though her computer permissions allow her to do so.
Imagine that. No accountability once again during a Demorat Administration.
And the hits and abortions just keep on coming.

“Lerner was placed on administrative leave on May 21 after refusing to tender her resignation,” WTF???? What part of the word FIRE does that incompetent asshole not understand? Why is she still there and WHY is she still sucking the government tit dry with that ungodly paycheck?
Even Lerner wants as much free cheese as she can take. Obama loves his free golf.
I think HG nailed it above.

The sheer arrogance of these government “employees” turns my stomach.
And like every good gubmint DRONE, she claims she’s “not responsible.” Then who or what is? Sunspots? Tidal pull?

Free cheese and arrogance, what more do you expect from this administration (and any bets she’s deleting emails as fast as she can)???
Suspended, administrative leave, WITH PAY = vacation..
This whole thing is a joke, a sad, pathetic joke…
It just keeps getting worse and, like the frog in the boiling pot, no one seems to notice the incrementalism.
