Brooklyn D.A. Clears ACORN
The New Daily News reports that after a four month investigation, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes has cleared ACORN from any criminal wrongdoing for ACORN employees' advice to undercover filmmakers James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles on how to launder money earned from a fictional prostitution scheme. A source at the Brooklyn D.A.'s office said: "They edited the tape to meet their agenda." This news comes conveniently on the heels of last week's revelation that New York's ACORN organization has dissolved and rebranded itself "New York Communities for Change."
