So, let me get this straight...
Of all the Conservative non-profit out there, Rep. Issa has pinged on one- True the Vote - and among all the digging he and his staff have done to date the only possible "link" he's dug up that connects an ex-IRS official to possible wrong doing are two lines in an email that read:
That's it? That's the best Rep. Issa could do after months of investigative work and public hearings at the taxpayers' expense? Really?
Don't get me wrong, on the surface the dialog clearly shows Lerner was looking into True the Vote, but does this in itself indicate something malicious or was it part of normal, routine business? For all we know that inquiry could have been a routine question asked about any non-profit applicant in the course of a typical workday. In this case, isn't it possible that: a) Lerner was inquiring about one of several other non-profits in that email or were they the only such non-profit organization mentioned?; or b) Lerner was following up on that status of an inquiry that involved True the Vote as part of normal, routine business. The point I'm trying to make here, folks, is unless we know more details as to the content of the email Rep. Issa claims to have uncovered, we really don't know if this particular email is the "smoking gun". From the sounds of it, this doesn't amount to much except Rep. Issa trying to claim "we got something!" which really doesn't appear to be much of anything in my book.
