WASHINGTON (AP) — Investigators said Thursday they have recovered 32,000 emails related to a former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party scandal.

But they don't know how many of them are new.

The emails were to and from Lois Lerner, who used to head the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. Last June, the IRS told Congress it had lost an unknown number of Lerner's email when her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.

At the time, IRS officials said the emails could not be recovered. But at a congressional hearing Thursday evening, IRS Deputy Inspector General Timothy Camus said investigators recovered thousands of emails from old computer tapes used to back up the agency's email system.

"We recovered quite a number of emails but until we compare those to what's already been produced we don't know if they're new emails," Camus told the House Oversight Committee.

Nothing to see, here. THOSE emails were lost.

[WorkingClassFilth]

What difference does it make now?

[House Atreides]

The Obama Regime and its operatives scattered throughout the federal bureaucracy are nothing more than a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.

[Fungi]

So they lied all along. Koskinen should be in an alien prisoner camp, complete with goggles to shield the sun. The slaves have become masters and the masters in Congress don't give a damn.

Several Oversight committee members questioned how hard the IRS tried to produce the emails, given how quickly independent investigators found them.

Yes, how interesting.

Wow, a lot of Emails to go through, but we all know this B*tch is as guilty as they come.

How interesting if some lead to the white house.

Popcorn and patience time.

BTTT

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It took them quite a while to sift out the incriminating ones.

[plain talk]

lets say just for grins the emails exposed that Obama directed Lerner to go after conservatives. So what? what would happen then? Obama has shown he is unfraid to act as a dictator because no one will stop him.

As bad as this is — my concern is not about Obama. Obama is the pioneer. Many socialist Presidents will come after him. This has lowered the bar and set precedent for someone much worse than Obama to do far greater damage.

Agreed. This is the script for the media kabuki.

[Isabel2010]

How interesting if some lead to the white house.

Interesting, but don’t expect anything to happen. Just move on~~

[PROCON]

but don’t expect anything to happen. Just move on~~

I can wish, cant I?

[CyberAnt]

Wasn’t it Ron Johnson who unearthed the missing emails ..?? And .. wasn’t it 80,000 that were missing ..??

Since that time, the left has decided to primary him - hoping to get rid of Ron.

[The Cajun]

To paraphrase the TRASH Bill Ayers " She is guilty as sin and still free as a bird".

Where the hell are you congress?

[Vendome]

At this point?

[WorkingClassFilth]

At any point. That will be the media rejoinder and there will only be crickets to respond.

[The Antiyuppie]

Any competent programmer could whittle that down to 200 emails for people for to read in no time. You don’t think that these people were smart enough to write in code, do you?
