Despite damning video evidence, multiple state fraud investigations, mountains of carelessly discarded evidence that they tried to hide from the feds, the Obama Justice Department has decided that ACORN is still entitled to our money. And why not? Obama and ACORN are joined at the hip.
David Barron, the acting assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel channeled a memorandum that basically argues ACORN is still entitled money that was agreed upon before Congress cut them off. The government is current operating under what is called a Continuing Resolution, which amounts to a payday loan until your next paycheck. The Justice Department argues that the ACORN funding ban only applies to the current CR, and not to any agreements previous.
Let’s get real. ACORN isn’t entitled to a damn thing. First of all, only Congress can decide if they get money, not the Justice Department. It’s no surprise that the JD would try though. After all, they are an organ of Obama. This brings up an interesting, if not disturbing scenario. Does Congress cave and hand our money over to ACORN? The argument that a criminal organization is entitled to anything is ridiculous. Of course they can cut off funding. Not only that, their assets can be frozen pending investigation. What are the odds that his administration and their kool-aid drinking minions do anything that resembles an investigation? We know that California attorney general Jerry Moonbeam Brown is more interested in going after James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles for “illegally” recording the crooked ACORN employees that he is the crooks themselves. The Justice Department (a book of corruption unto themselves) think stick wielding Black Panthers at polling places is all right. Who will investigate not only ACORN, but their enablers as well? Is there a mechanism that can keep these criminal elements in line? If there is, I don’t see it. And I certainly don’t hear it, save for a few hero citizens, and a few…a very few in Washington.
They say crime doesn’t pay. The Obama Justice Department is trying to prove what a myth that actually is.
Much like we have seen in Climategate, the administration is going to ignore evidence that does not help the agenda. It really is pathetic. The least the administration could do would be to stop ALL funding until an investigation is completed and then make a decision.
If Obama is willing to cover for Kevin Johnson, he’ll certainly cover for the entire ACORN apparatus.
