If they are innocent, why did they fire their employees?

SURRRE, they're gonna sue.

That would open up all their files, correspondence, and officers/employees to discovery of "all admissible evidence and all information reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence."

If they are that stupid, bring it on. A couple of good lawyers will make everybody involved in ACORN wish they had never been born.

That would be a pandoras box that ACORN would not want opened. I would absolutely LOVE to see them sue Fox News.

discovery is a powerful tool. Acorn won’t dare go into Court.

Not sure how that would turn out. Rupert Murdoch certainly has deep pockets, but Obama and Eric Holder would take personal interest in the outcome of any lawsuit.

FOX doesn’t seem too worried as they keep playing them, Fox & Friends, Megyn & Hammer in morning, Beck, Hannity, etc.

They are really pounding on the 7 who voted to keep funding ACORN too and frequently showing their pics and naming names.

Go Fox.

Let me say this. If O’keefe and his partner in crime are charged with a felony, there will be a backlash like none that has been seen before, imo.
