So why couldn't they fire Lois Lerner, a bunch of VA employees, and every other swinging Richard in the Federal Service, if they could shitcan her in a month??
I'm curious myself. Usually at the level implied in the article, it's a lateral transfer because canning them is so incredibly difficult. I wonder if there is some misinformation and she is actually a contractor? Otherwise, given stuff I saw in my career regarding crappy employees that should not only have been fired, but tarred and feathered, she seems to be in an excellent position for a profitable lawsuit.
