Breitbart: Investigate Acorn or else (updated)
American Thinker ^ | November 20, 2009 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 11/20/2009 12:14:15 PM PST by jazusamo

The most recent ACORN tape of the L.A. ACORN office is far from the last tape sting Andrew Breitbart has. Attorney General Holder keeps refusing to investigate what is an obvious nationwide criminal endeavor. Breitbart now threatens that if Holder does not investigate the rest of the tapes will be released just before the 2010 election when they will do most damage to the administration:

Breitbart: There's a lot of hypocrisy and the dust has settled for ACORN and at the end of the day they've recognized that Eric Holder, the Attorney General, has not initiated an investigation into ACORN after we now have seven tapes.  There were five initially that came out, ACORN was defunded by the Senate, was defunded by the House, lost it's link to the Census; while all that damage occurred, Congress didn't come in to investigate them, obviously not the Attorney General's office, and they've now realized let's get back into business because they realized that the dust settled and they were not being investigated, it was Hannah, James, and me who were being investigated, that's why we've been forced to offer this latest tape.

Hannity: Are you saying, Andrew, that there are more tapes?

Breitbart: Oh my goodness there are!  Not only are there more tapes, it's not just ACORN.  And this message is to Attorney General Holder: I want you to know that we have more tapes, it's not just ACORN, and we're going to hold out until the next election cycle, or else if you want to do a clean investigation, we will give you the rest of what we have, we will comply with you, we will give you the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward but are fearful of this organization and the retribution that they fear that this is a dangerous organization.  So if you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don't give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time.

This is a refreshing change from the MSM mode of operation where Democrat scandal and  illegality (like Edwards mistress, for example) is kept bottled up at election time.

Update:

Patterico revels in the idiocy of Los Angeles Times columnist James Rainey and Media Matters for America, who went out on a limb that has just been sawed off.

Good..I am glad someone has something juicy that will be released right before the election.

I worry that this healthcare will pass early on, then people will forget it. If obozo cools it with his antics by summer, people just might forget the agony of the past few months.

I for one, hope Holder ignores this and the schitt hits the fan next october.

So if you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don’t give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time.

This is treading into VERY dangerous territory. The risk is great that DOJ would take the tapes and do nothing with them, at least not before the election.

I really hope Andrew reconsiders this.

I have a feeling that multiple copies of the tapes exist and are acting as insurance against just what you suggest.

I wondered about that also. I’m certainly no legal beagal but would he keep copies and if so could they be used?

I’m dying to know what (or WHO) is on those tapes. Must be something VERY incriminating with direct connections with someone.

wow! I bet this will be the first time Mickey Mouse will be assigned a case this big. I wonder if Holder will appoint the defense, or maybe he will just defend them himself.

I figured Breitbart a long time ago that he was holding out much more condemning video as leverage and protection against ACORN, their allies, and the Obama administration. The smart thing to do.

I’m sure there are copies in safe keeping. Mr. Breibart seems like a smart man.

No problem. They will only give copies.

Anyway, with 17 to 20 percent unemployment, they look like road kill come November. They should start packing now.

There are two videos at the update link, “revels in the idiocy’ but don’t know they’re the same.

the rest of the tapes will be released just before the 2010 election

I'm not sure how I feel about this -- waiting another year to release them.

the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward but are fearful of this organization and the retribution that they fear that this is a dangerous organization.

They should be exposed NOW! Perhaps hold back some evidence, but get it out there NOW.

Here's hoping there is evidence about the massive voter fraud these "people" have been getting away with for years.
