Computers and records seized at ACORN offices in Louisiana
My computer was copied and returned by the FBI once (do not ask). In my case, I was innocent of any wrong doings and actually enjoyed the novelty of it all. In ACORN’s case, a similar outcome is doubtful.

New Orleans, Investigators are searching the New Orleans offices of the activist group ACORN in connection with embezzlement and tax fraud allegations.
-Before I say “good job” and “go get um G-man” I should remind the feds of other easier to prove tax cheats. I seem to remember a rash of political thieves, liars and elitists that had to admit that they “forgot” to pay their own pesky taxes. Arrest those a-holes and I will be glad to contribute to the FBI retirement fund. Hmm could that be considered a bribe?
Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell said a warrant was obtained to seize computers, hard drives and other documents Friday. Caldwell said investigators will copy records and hard drives, then return them to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
-I’m betting they will find enough porn to keep the feds happily engaged for weeks.
He said the allegations of embezzlement were made last year by ACORN board members who were fired after they asked to look at the group’s books.
ACORN fired the longtime director of its Louisiana chapter last month, citing a lack of accountability.
-WARNING!!! The term “accountability” spoken aloud has been known to cause seizures in American politicians.

A pity this group isn’t permanently shut down. They make US elections look like something out of a banana republic.

Hope the feds find enough to throw all of ACORN behind bars for decades. With our Justice Dept, not likely. Nice dream though, isn’t it?
