But, when you cheat it call into question the results of the Election.
Obama probably would of won anyway.

This is pretty weak. Firstly, Ms. Mitchell is talking out of her ass about the purview of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. They've got a lot of latitude and asking for publicly available information isn't tantamount to launching a "rogue investigation" let alone directing the IRS.

It's well known that starting in 2012, True the Vote was being investigated for among other things voter intimidation. I'd say that an investigation of True the Vote for politically motivated (and controlled) voter intimidation is more in line with the mandate of the committee than investigating steroid use in MLB. Though maybe any investigation that isn't started by Issa is "rogue" in your opinion?
I'd also like to point out the date of the email is Jan 25, 2013 which goes to your later comment:

So even if all of the conjecture were in fact true, it wouldn't have been a factor.
The DOJ and IRS work closely together in just exactly these kind of matters, anyone can like it or not. That Fox interview is misleading, no need to ask why

Many people fail to see what actually happened.
Those "Conservative" organizations applying for specific tax status had done nothing wrong or illegal.
All they did was apply the legal way.
But the jealous Administration was on the hunt anyway.
The IRS collaborations may have been and probably were illegal.
Lois's 5th proves illegal things happened and she knew about it.
People will swing from the yardarms next year.

Yes, but they do not coordinate with Congressional Staffs.
*They do not give Congressmen Private Tax Payer Information.
C'mon man...Why not let a Special Prosecutor take a look.
If this is regular business. It's not, crimes appear to have been committed.

Couple of old threads that expose some of the Cummings Capers......
Letter: "Holder Aide Accidentally Calls ISSA Staff For Help Spinning IRS Scandal"
U.S. Congressman Elijah Cummings prompted IRS targeting of True the Vote
Should the IRS be a truly Independent Agency ?
Why would Lois Lerner take the 5th if she did nothing wrong ?
Should Congressional Staff have private Tax Payer information ?

The IRS inspector general said this week that while some liberal groups were given extra scrutiny by the tax agency, they were not subjected to the same invasive queries as tea party groups — a finding that seems to confirm a political bias was at play.
In a letter sent late Wednesday and released Thursday, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George said that just 30 percent of groups with the word “progressive” in their name were put through special scrutiny for tax-exempt applications, but 100 percent of groups with “tea party,” “patriot” or “9/12” in their name were subjected to invasive questioning.
IRS auditor reaffirms that conservatives, not liberals, were targeted

Tea party groups, Franklin Graham, Christine O’Donnell, a pro-marriage group. And now Dr. Ben Carson.
The list of conservatives targeted by the Internal Revenue Service for audits, tax-exempt reviews or tax privacy breaches keeps growing, raising fresh questions in Washington about whether a scandal the Obama administration has blamed on bureaucratic incompetence and coincidence may in fact involve something more nefarious.
The long line of conservatives targeted by the IRS
