The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of “disaster recovery tapes” that were used to back up the IRS email system.

What’s the chance that they “selectively” recovered emails or perhaps even “massaged” them a bit before turning them over?

Let’s see if this is for real. Call me cynical, but I will believe it when we see Lois’ bloody paws working with the Emperor or Holder on this...

So?

Nothing will come of it.

Have you noticed the American Left no longer feels constrained by rules? (See Amnesty)

Elections have consequences. The loss of the Senate and continued control of the House is making a lot of these jackasses lose sleep now.

To me the significance of this is that these were supposedly “lost forever.” How many more are going to be found now that were supposedly “lost forever?”

We have no way of knowing if there are more that the IRS doesn’t (didn’t) want seen. Who can be trusted? No need to answer that.
