An internal investigation of the community-organizing group ACORN found no pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staffers on undercover videos shot by conservative critics of the group.

In a 47-page assessment that former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger was commissioned by the organization to do, he criticized ACORN's management as not moving fast enough to institute reforms after an alleged eight-year coverup by ACORN founder Wade Rathke of an embezzlement by his brother.

ACORN's leaders are "now reaping what Rathke sowed," wrote Harshbarger, who was brought in to investigate.

"We did not find a pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staff involved; in fact, no action, illegal or otherwise, was ever taken by any ACORN employee on behalf of the videographers," Harshbarger said in a statement. "Instead, the videos represent the byproduct of ACORN's longstanding management weaknesses, including a lack of training, a lack of procedures and a lack of on-site supervision."


Big surprise, huh?   :bs:

In other breaking news, the weasel investigated itself and determined that he didn't raid the hen house.

You need to train people to not abet child prostitution traffickers and tax evaders?

Former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger is a well known partisan liberal lawyer and all around far left hack.He has been doing the bidding of the far left Kennedy crowd in Taxachusetts for years.
It's rather like having Butt Boy Barney Franks investigating NAMBULA !
