YOU KNEW THEY'D FIND THEM EVENTUALLY:

An inspector general investigating the IRS's improper scrutiny of Tea Party groups has found thousands of emails from Lois Lerner, the agency official at the center of that controversy, according to committees involved in the probe. [...]

Of the emails the inspector general found, about 650 were from 2010 and 2011, and most were from 2012. The inspector general found about 35,000 emails in all as it sought to recover data from recycled back-up tapes.

Aides said there would likely be some duplicates among the emails that were turned over to Congress in previous document productions.
