"I am sure ACORN knows that trials has a discovery process - which means that they could have to turn over a massive amounts of damaging paperwork..."

The fired workers are suing, not ACORN. They are suing because they were allegedly illegally videotapes.

I do not know if this type of case warrants a 3rd party subpoena duces tecum being issued for ACORNs documents. It may take a lot of legal wrangling and will probably fail.

Fired workers are filing the criminal complaint.

ACORN is suing in civil court to stop distribution of the video.
