Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner sent official documents from her government e-mail address to a personal account, according to House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa and his colleague, Ohio congressman Jim Jordan.
“This raises some serious questions concerning your use of a non-official e-mail account to conduct official business,” the GOP lawmakers wrote in a letter to Lerner demanding all documents from her non-official account for the period between January 2008 and the present. “Additional documents related to the Committee’s investigation may exist in these non-official accounts over which you have some control, and the lack of access to this information prevents the Committee from fully assessing your actions,” they explained. Issa and Jordan are requesting that Lerner produce the documents by August 27.

Issa is going to let this ride out a while longer before he brings Lerner back in. She’s in deep doo doo...
every picture of Lerner ,she has her nose in the air
Yeah, it’ll give more time for Lerner’s brakes to give out while she’s speeding down a twisty mountain road, or be found with 3 bullet holes in the back of her head while she has a pistol in one hand & a suicide note in the other!
Would you get on an airplane with her for a Klondike Bar?
The title should be:
Lerner attempts to conceal questionable or illegal official acts - indictment to follow
If she spills beans, she’ll assume room temperature.

Who do you trust Lois? The violent left who will easily make you a martyr for the struggle or the GOP who want to prsoecute you?
Starting?
She is protected.
I'm surprised Snowden didn't try that excuse.
Maybe the NSA is ‘Anonymous’? Yikes. Anonymous goes silent when it comes to attacking those they SHOULD attack. Like in this case.. Or, maybe they’re afraid of being Breitbarted?
Standard operating procedure in the regime.
A common thread in all of the Obama scandals is total stupidity on the part of the perps.
Using your personal e mail to communicate secretly out of the Governments official documentation and archiving system works great as long as you can keep it secret.
Once you get caught, however, it becomes your worst nightmare.
First off, it documents malfeasance on the parts of all parties who are working to circumvent the lawful process of communication.
Second, it is a crime to handle confidential IRS information in such a fashion.
Third, there are no protections or restrictions , such as the ability to assert executive privilege, on Congress's ability to investigate and subpoena personally transmitted confidential IRS information or communications, especially in light of (2) above.
This is a big screw up that is really going to hurt Lerner almost as much as her playing games on asserting the 5th Amendment
