And seven other inspectors general are being asked by two congressional members to take a look at their funding mechanisms.

That’s my question. They shouldn’t be giving grants to anyone.

Obama will see that all is kosher for his favorite group of helpers that worked on his election board. They need to help in the next election so all will be just fine.
Justice will be served.Clean hands & pure hearts each ACORN person must have to obtain millions of taxpayer dollars.

I feel much better knowing Holder's people are looking into this. < /sarc>

Eric Holder's role in the pardons of BLA (Black Liberation Army) comrades/Weather Underground members, Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans (1983 Brinks Truck robbery and triple murder):

Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Wright's 'Black Liberation' "church", and the pardons of 16 members of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN:(Wright's Marxist BLT 'church' (Obama's 'church' for 20+ years) advocated for FALN terrorists)

"Fraunces Tavern is a restaurant and museum in lower Manhattan, New York City. It was built on the site of a former building which played a significant role in pre-Revolutionary activities, and in which, on 4 December 1783, General George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolution, before returning to his home, Mount Vernon."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunces_Tavern
_________________________________________________________

"During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50."

_________________________________________________________

"Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the 'oppressed people of Puerto Rico,' the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro's secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico."

[inspector general has agreed to investigate ]

That automatically puts a ‘cone of silence’ over everything they ‘find’.

Outside investigations of ANY kind will be met with “we can’t comment because it’s ‘under investigation’.

Any documents requests under FOIA? We can’t turn over any documents because of current investigation.

Just eyewash for the state-run media to have something to report and act concerned about. Holder will never let it get serious.

So....they're just investigating to see if they've given ACORN any money.

They aren't investigating ACORN's interstate criminal activities or defrauding of the US government.

Glad to see these f%$@tards are on the case.

“Obama’s man investigating Obama’s own ACORN.
This is just plain nuts.”

Where are our Reps? Senators?

I know, hiding in the men’s room, tapping their foot.

Culture of corruption.

Fox guarding the hen house.

Just as when Chris Dodd and Barney Frank “kept an eye” on the banks.

What about other depts? HUD, HHS etc. The DoJ doesn’t know if ACORN got money from the DoJ? I wonder about this...

The dems never have an investigation, they go in and cover up, destroy evidence, make people disappear before they are investigated, and designate fall guys to take the hhit, plead guilty and keep silent.

The only way we will end Acorn is to fight them right in the streets, and deny them the territory they need to control our neighborhoods.

Acorn and its workers need to be treated as vile enemies of individual freedoms, which they are.
