NRO’s Andrew McCarthy has written a great piece on the latest in the Obama-ACORN story. Here is the sum-up:
Obama’s campaign is demanding that a Department of Justice “Special Prosecutor” be assigned to investigate not ACORN but the McCain campaign and the Bush administration for what it says is the trumpeting of “unsupported, spurious allegations of vote fraud.”
Obama’s top lawyer, Robert Bauer, sent a politically charged letter to the DOJ in what appears to be an attempt to discredit the multiple ongoing investigations of ACORN. Incredibly, the letter states concerns about the McCain-Palin campaign’s “unwarranted and politically motivated intervention in the upcoming election” and references “partisan Republican activities” that are designed to “suppress the vote.”
Perhaps someone should remind Obama’s legal team that ACORN is under investigation not by the DOJ and/or the Feds but by state authorities – in some cases, Democrat officials who find themselves obligated to look into ACORN’s over-the-top tactics.
Here in Nevada, where ACORN submitted thousands of phony voter registrations, the FBI did cooperate with other agencies in a raid on ACORN’s Las Vegas office – but the investigation is not being run by the feds. And it is state agencies that are examining ACORN’s activities in North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Connecticut, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Michigan, and New Mexico.
