I personally suspect they already have the e-mails and are just trying to prod players to come forward to save themselves by providing more evidence.

Total abuse of power. Not the first time — won’t be the last time.

She needs to go - as in fired and then to prison - Now!

This isn’t political targeting. Its just another horrible but innocent mistake, to add to the thousand other horrible but innocent mistakes that the IRS has made.

Lerner sent a message on her Blackberry, which also includes chatter about the Alamo Bowl. Is that inappropriate use of a government phone? Maybe she should be investigated by the IRS...

They aren’t ignoring it. AP ran the story. ABC News picked it up.

Given what appears to be a media shift on this topic, you’re probably right about the emails and the media has gotten a whiff of what’s there.

Can’t the GOP locate a federal prosecutor in some district who is somewhat independent of the DOJ and a big enough name that Holder wouldn’t fire him to get his Grand Jury to investigate Lois Lerner? She has definitely done enough to indict her. That might put some pressure on her to cough up more information.

Have you noticed as well all of the commuter crashes near homes of pet dogs? Coincidence, I think not...

They will likely do nothing, but they might actually release a statement so keep an eye for that.

It is amazing. Especially since Lerner does not have emails to back up
her testimony. In other words, she can say anything, without being contradicted by lost emails.
Why isn’t Issa calling the tech folks who removed and destroyed the hard
drives to testify?
The GOP does not really want to get to the bottom of this.
It is simply a Kabuki Dance for a campaign issue.
It has nothing to do with holding anyone accountable.
