First the good news. Investigators have recovered some 30,000 lost e-mails connected to disgraced ex-IRS supervisor Lois Lerner.

Now for the bad news.
Some of the recovered emails might be duplicates. And it could take weeks to learn their content because they are encoded, said Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Republicans on the Oversight committee.
In addition, the IRS would also have to delete information about taxpayers that is considered private before it can be released to the committee, which is headed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.
At any rate, there is a new Congress coming in January, and it's for sure the investigation is not going away. Now the Senate will join in.

Meantime, several committees of the Republican-majority house have held hearings on the subject already, and all have found the rumors flying around about betrayal and stand-downs to be utterly without merit.
Issa is playing a "me too" game. He just wants his fifteen minutes in the limelight.
