As much as I hate Lerner, I also do not want the Constitution violated in going after her.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.” - 4th Amendment.

Papers and effects covers emails and phone conversations.
The NSA is violating the Constitution and so is anyone who obtains these records without a court order.

I’m glad all of these Republicans are putting forward legislation to strip the IRS of the power it is abusing. Oh, wait...they’re not doing that. They’re just using this to whip up the rubes to vote for them in an election year. They want to make sure all that power is there for them to abuse when team red gets back into the white house. Any congressman pissing and moaning about this but has not authored or sponsored legislation to strip the IRS of its power needs to get a big cup of STFU.

Are they her emails or government emails she happened to author?

Dude, you wrong….work emails from agents like IRS hacks are NOT NOT NOT protected - if the IRS’s emails are protected, then none of us can possibly be protected…..don’t you see that???

Every e-mail she sent from any computer that was owned by the government is public property.

It is impossible for anyone who uses a government-owned computer to not know that. You get briefed - in writing and by means of a face-to-face conversation - before you even get to touch a government-owned computer. You also get reminded of it every time you sign on to a government-owned computer.

I would like to know how many government-owned laptops, phones, and blackberries are in her home.

Every one of them is subject to review.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.” - 4th Amendment.

It protects "the people", not the government. The people have rights. The government has powers.

Her work emails are not protected, her private address, yes but not her gov't email.

That is a matter of public record.

They are in violation of the law for not disclosing them, her rights have been more than protected.

She’s a liar in the Chief Liar’s administration. He told O’Reilly and the nation that there wasn’t “a smidgeon” of scandal in the blatantly corrupt IRS targeting of conservatives. All of them should be arrested and jailed, as Scooter Libby was for giving “false testimony” in the bogus Valerie Plame flap.

She was a government official. Her emails and phone conversations made as part of her job are public property.

Anyone who's logged onto a government computer in the last 10-15 years knows this. It's made absolutely clear on the login screen.

The leadership at the IRS needs to be flushed.

You knew that comment had to be coming.

The IRS scandal is about as bad as it gets (well ,maybe not as is seems they tried to use it to distract from Benghazi) and possible the biggest scandal to rock the country since Teapot Dome

Wait till they uncover how much Government money and resources were diverted to the 2012 elections campaign.

I'm sure Elijah Cummings would agree. I want Lerner to receive as much consideration as I would if I were withholding information from the IRS. The woman is being investigated, not as a private citizen, but rather, in her capacity as a government agent who, by her own admission, placed illegitimate government pressure on private citizens. WE ARE THE VICTIMS OF THIS CRIME. . no crocodile tears for Lois.

That’s why the chick at EPA was using a fake name/account for her work email.

I don’t think Lerner is a “people”, I think she is a government employee who needs to answer to her employer, the American people. We need the truth in this matter and if she and others conspired to silence American citizens unlawfully, she and the others involved need to pay.

Does my employer have a right to look at my company emails?
