ACORN Sues Breitbart: ACORN Falls into Another Breitbart Trap?

Mouse Trap

ACORN CIVIL SUIT MAY PULL BACK THE CURTAIN ON ACORN ITSELF

Remember less than two weeks ago, James O'Keefe dared ACORN to sue?

On September 13, during an appearance on FOX News, O'Keefe, the young independent filmmaker who went undercover with partner, Hannah Giles, demanded an ACORN apology and practically called the tangled web of community organizers "wimps"--or worse.

The independent filmmaker whose hidden-camera videos prompted the firing of four ACORN workers is demanding an apology from ACORN for calling his work a fabricated "scam" and daring the activist group to take legal action against him.

"Bring it on," filmmaker James O'Keefe said Sunday on FOX News. --Filmmaker Demands Apology From ACORN for Claiming Undercover Video 'Doctored'

Today ACORN complied. [It's On! ACORN Sues O'Keefe, Giles And Breitbart]

Was this part of the carefully-orchestrated roll-out of the videos by Andrew Breitbart?

Breitbart certainly seems to have thought this through a lot more thoroughly than ACORN's Bertha Lewis, whose story has changed almost daily in response to a continuing onslaught of damning information.

Breitbart, in BREITBART: The politicized art behind the ACORN plan:

Videos of five different ACORN offices in five separate cities would be released on five consecutive weekdays over a full week - Baltimore, Washington, New York, San Bernadino and San Diego. By dripping the videos out, we exposed to anyone paying attention that ACORN was lying through its teeth and that the media would look imbecilic continuing to trot out their hapless spokespeople.

Back to the ACORN Trap Theory.

Had to share this with you.

Just watched tucker carlson on greta van susteren.. They are cracking up at acorn’s stupidity over the lawsuit because of the discovery procress. Greta kept saying how jealous she was because of the amount of videotaped depositions, documents etc.. Hilarious watching how giddy she is about it. Tucker discussed the fact that more tapes would be released.. Neither said anything about acorn being able to stop the tapes from being released.

Breitbart most definitely held off showing these videos and thought about it before they decided to broadcast them, someone with Mathews smarts would have talked with lawyers first and then showed these videos.

So let me get this straight ...

... out of FIVE different ACORN offices in four different states (and DC) ...

... ACORN is suing for the Maryland recordings ONLY ...

And out of nearly 100 completely different sections of the Maryland code, ranging from “Alcoholic Beverages” to “State Personnel and Pensions,” ACORN is going to try to pin Breitbart on § 10-402 of “Courts and Judicial Proceedings,” written primarily for the purpose of punishing LEOs for illegal wire taps and illegal body wires used as part of a CRIMINAL investigation ...

... the entire time opening ACORN up to cross-Discovery ...

Trust me — the decision-makers at ACORN are idiots for exposing themselves up to this legal jeopardy.

I-D-I-O-T-S !

BUT — it's a free country. If they wish toss their 5th Amendment rights into the trash — they may certainly incriminate themselves as much as they wish!

I am going to pray for the spirit of confusion will come over them and make really big mistakes, and that GOD will grant favor for James, Hannah, and Andrew with the judge.

The first thing ACORN will ask the judge is to stop any more footage from being released.
