Former GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell told her tax records were breached

Yes, the Washington Times. Don't you know they pay me to post here? Soon, one of Ted Nugent's greatest hits will be coming through your headphones.

Sarcasm, for those who take a while to figure things out.

Errant lien on house placed, publicized

The Washington Times
Wednesday, July 17, 2013

More than two years after her upstart Senate campaign rocked the Delaware political world, Christine O'Donnell got an unexpected contact from a U.S. Treasury Department agent warning that her private tax records may have been breached.
....

“Ms. O'Donnell, this is Dennis Martel, special agent with the U.S. Department of Treasury in Baltimore, Md. … We received information that your personal federal tax info may have been compromised and may have been misused by an individual,” he said in the January message left on her cellphone.

For Ms. O'Donnell, the message immediately raised red flags. ... On March 9, 2010, the day she revealed her plan to run for the Senate in a press release, a tax lien was placed on a house purported to be hers and publicized. The problem was she no longer owned the house. The IRS eventually blamed the lien on a computer glitch and withdrew it.

Now Mr. Martel, a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration, was telling her that an official in Delaware state government had improperly accessed her records on that very same day.


Edited to note that the alleged access to her records was made by "an official in Delaware state government."
