Didn't Lerner proclaim that she had not violated any laws or IRS policies and procedures? Where are the permanent record copies of her emails that IRS policies and procedures required her to maintain?

The paper requirements don't apply to general e-mails. However, they should have been maintained in e-mail backups on the server.

General e-mails are things like setting a lunch date with co-workers.

As Poodlebrain pointed out earlier, the Internal Revenue Manual is CRYSTAL CLEAR that the IRS had a DUTY to preserve all of these e-mails that dealt with IRS policy and discussions of taxpayers.

Yes, they do. IRS policy requires employees to create and retain printed copies of all emails "created or received in the transaction of agency business." Lois Lerner's emails regarding tax exempt entities were most definitely created or received in transaction of IRS business. Thus, she was required by IRS policy to have printed copies of her emails.
