Washington (CNN)—The IRS watchdog investigating the disappearance of Lois Lerner's emails told a Senate committee it has found roughly 6,400 messages that have never before been turned over to Congress.

Lerner was the IRS official at the center of allegations that the agency targeted tea party groups applying for nonprofit status. Congress requested Lerner's emails from the IRS and agency officials told lawmakers an unknown number of emails had been lost when Lerner's computer crashed.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration is in the process of turning the emails over to the Senate Finance Committee, which is investigating whether the IRS wrongly targeted conservative and other groups seeking tax-exempt status, committee spokesman Aaron Fobes said.

I’ve concluded our problem with tyrants is not that we are armed or not, but that we do nothing about being armed or not.

Lois Lerner should be in jail .... perhaps these emails will provide the evidence to make that happen, although I’m not holding my breath. Even if such evidence is found, I also have no faith that there is the political will to do anything about it.

I still say Hillary’s emails are out there somewhere. Maybe it’s Putin or Anonymous or a Email Server backup company but somebody has them.

In some way, every single one of them is a criminal...either by their actions or else, by their incompetence, negligence or failure to act.

In MY memory- I cannot say that I have EVER seen such a crowd of bumbling and corrupt criminals.

Here is the problem. Minus the 1% in government who actually give a crap(That be Ted cruz) the rest of them are part of the “we know where the bodies are buried” crowd.

You cannot take down one without taking down the bunch. This is why we need a national campaign for term limits and a litmus test saying our candidate will only serve 1 term in the senate or 2 terms in congress.

It’s time for the people to take back our country, since the people we sent to do it for us won’t.

Yeah, a couple of these thug feds drug out in the street and tarred and feathered would go a long way towards stemming any future corruption...

but, we’re “too civilized” for that.

The corruption of this Nation’s elected 0fficials and their surrogates is so massive it would take a coup d’-tat to cleanout this mess. If this would be any other country with this kind a political mess they would be overthrowing the leadership as I speak.

Don’t worry, Lois. Congress will effectively “lose” them again. Count on it. They’re not worth the soles on their damned shoes.
