It seems that there have been so many scandals involving the Obama Administration<\/a> and Hillary Clinton that it is hard to keep track. After a while it seems as if the investigations never seem to end. Well, there’s a reason the investigations seem to drag on–sometimes the information needed to conduct the investigation can be hard to get.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a> reported yesterday that thousands of emails from Lois Lerner have magically appeared.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Treasury inspector general for tax administration<\/a> (TIGTA) said it found roughly 6,400 emails either to or from Lerner sent between 2004 and 2013 that it didn\u2019t think the IRS<\/a> had turned over to lawmakers, the panels said. The committees have yet to examine the emails, according to Capitol Hill<\/a> aides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…But a spokesman for Senate Finance Committee<\/a> Chairman<\/a> Orrin Hatch<\/a> (R-Utah<\/a>) said the committee hoped the new emails would bring the panel closer to releasing the findings of its IRS investigation. Committee aides have said the panel was close to finishing its report when the IRS said it couldn\u2019t locate the Lerner emails last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThese emails will be carefully examined as part of the committee\u2019s bipartisan IRS investigation,\u201d the spokesman said. \u201cAfter TIGTA produces their report regarding the missing data<\/a> later this year, the Committee hopes to follow suit and move forward with the release of its bipartisan report on this issue.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the IRS had produced the emails when they were originally asked to, the investigation would be over. I also can’t help wondering if the emails have been tampered with in any way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
