Breaking: Justice Dept. investigating lost IRS emails. IRS has produced thousands of emails, Republicans believe there are more. Story soon.

@WSJPolitics About goddamn time.

Surely the investigation will at some point result in Elijah Cummings reciting moody beat poetry in a hearing room, but people who actually care about IRS corruption are thinking it may be too little too late.

@Andrew_Langer @WSJPolitics I'll believe it if I see it. Plus, want to set odds on whether Holder will produce or hide incriminating emails?

Coincidence? The DOJ announcement comes a day before House Oversight hearing about their response to IRS scandal. http://t.co/NT9GBco2cn

So cynical.

Guessing this DOJ IRS e-mail “investigation” is for November optics, nothing more, leads nowhere. https://t.co/9579232Xoh
