Conyers suggests probe of ACORN – Washington Times
In an startling partisan shift, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. on Thursday proposed holding hearings on claims the liberal activist group ACORN engaged in a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat and fierce partisan, suggested a congressional probe after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election. Mr. Conyers called the accusations “a pretty serious matter.”

“I think that it would be something that would be worth our time,” he said during Thursday’s hearing. “We’ve never had one person representing ACORN before the committee. … I think in all fairness we ought to really examine it.”
…
Mr. Conyers, who is known for his drive to continue investigating the Bush administration, previously defended ACORN. In October, he condemned an FBI voter fraud investigation targeting the group. He questioned whether it was politically motivated to hamper a voter-registration drive targeting groups likely to support Mr. Obama’s candidacy.
But Mr. Conyers’ shift was met by resistance from fellow Democrats on the committee, and it was unclear whether a hearing would be scheduled. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties that hosted Thursday’s hearing, suggested there was not enough “credible evidence” to warrant a hearing focused exclusively on ACORN. Rep. Melvin Watt said he would concede that ACORN and some of its members engaged in voter fraud. But he said voter fraud was already covered by existing law and Congress has not further role in the matter. “I’m not coming to a hearing to have a trial on ACORN. That’s not my job,” the North Carolina Democrat said.
Republican committee member Rep. Steve King of Iowa said getting the Democrat-led Congress to take action against ACORN “is going to be difficult but I am encouraged by John Conyers’ request.”

I suppose we can expect a scathing skit from Saturday Night Live this week about Conyers haunted by the mysterious “Powers That Be.” I won’t hold my breath.

Honest Inspector Generals (and others) who are doing their jobs and protecting against the criminal waste and misuse of our tax dollars are criminalized and beheaded; but an organization who is guided routinely by no-goodnicks and thieves .. who is under criminal indictment all over the country .. are given a pass and glorified.

These “public servants” hardly even try to hide their b.s. crap anymore they’ve gotten so emboldened!

Now, for the rest of the politicians in Detroit……and Chicago…….and Washington.

When we overthrow the cabal, he’ll be in the second 25 of the people we prosecture and lock away for life.
