Just remember Re the investigation of ACORN/Breitbart by CA AG Brown….
“Moonbeam” has a little “recording” problem in his own house that he needs to finess away while he appears to be going after AB.
This is starting to resemble a Keystone-Kops comedy.

It’s easy to say all politicians are corrupt. That’s what the democrats want you to think. They want you to glaze over your eyes and recall that bush had a deficit, Larry Craig had a sex scandal, etc etc. So when democrats do it, they aren’t worse than the GOP.

but they are much, much worse.

No need to trust politicians too much. If you simply have a limited government, their ability to screw you is much less. This is why liberals are inherently more corrupt. They have more to be corrupt with.

Dustin, I agree; but would replace democrat with federal politician. With very few exceptions, I don’t have faith in any of them; including John Boehner (whom I have voted for as my rep and his office is just a few blocks from my home). The whole lot-of-them are in the tank; corrupted; should be blamed.

Corwin, as I read your linked story, I noticed that Citibank, which apparently helped bankroll ACORN for a while, has stopped and is ‘awaiting the results of the independent investigation’. Of course, Citibank knows that this independent investigation is being run by people cherry picked by ACORN to whitewash the situation.

ACORN gets to call this investigation thorough and independent, but they have lied so flagrantly that anyone claiming to believe them is trying to help cover for ACORN. Citibank is apparently trying to do that.

All these incredibly rich democrats have all these twisted connections. Rezko to Acorn to Citibank to Alan Greenspan to Andrea Mitchell to Newsweek to Levi Johnston. It’s not enough for a rich democrat to run a bank or a newspaper… they have to exploit what they have to the full corrupt advantage.

#5, JH said, “Gotta figure out the perfect bait for them.” What? You servin’ up soft balls there John? Perfect bait?

Hanna Giles got your bait, all packaged up and ready to go. You see those ACORNs swallow it hook, line, and sinker? Girls and boys, salivatin’ and wigglin’ around. Looked like a feedin’ frenzy.

That one women, the “dancer/hooker” who shot her husband, she couldn’t keep still, looked like she was gettin’ wet.

What more could a pack of crooks want? Hot Momma, teen hookers, piles of dirty cash, and a pimp with a past to groom for elected office. I’d say Hanna’s bait is pretty much irresistible to ACORN’s pack of bottom feeders.

Fox reports that the found documents are more than just trivial papers:

“Or is Bretbart’s “scandal” claim merely that it was a scandal that Acorn threw out private documents without shredding them first? I ask because if it’s just the latter — as one might infer from the lack of specificity in his story about any other kind of malfeasance — that’s not a very exciting scandal.”

You haven’t been paying attention to biggovernment.com! Breitbart always has the goods, and always gives out small details so that the corrupt left thinks he’s got virtually nothing. They cop to what they know he has (not shredding SSNs), and pretend that’s all there is to this, even lying ridiculously about it. In a week, or a month, or an hour, Andrew will give out a bit more information… we’ll know ACORN was knowingly lying, but they’ll have another chance to fess up, and instead will lie again.

Rinse, repeat. I wouldn’t bet on Breitbart having nothing but unshredded SSNs. This song is in the 200th verse.

Hopelessness to defeat endemic corruption is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I think Breitbart is savvy enough that he wouldn’t make an issue out of trivial documents. He also has whistle-blower info, in addition to the dumped documents.

This whole issue is beneficial: eyes are on Dem corruption; folks question- is Obamacare going to work just as well; and some may rethink their position of gov. involvement in charity altogether – a great example of how gov. involvement doesn’t improve a damned thing.

If Jerry Brown “announces” an investigation but doesn’t do anything, like issue subpoenas, is it obstruction of justice to throw documents out?

It is the distraction that bothers me the most. Sure, I want those that committed crimes to be arrested, charged and hopefully found guilty and sentenced. But the real problem is the system. Nothing will stop this from happening again – in the name of charity. And the Republicans are far from sainthood. The Federal system is broken (not to mention broke). The system allows for poor processes; wasted money and other resources; corruption. ACORN is no more than a symptom of the problem; an outgrowth of a tainted process.
