B'klyn ACORN cleared over giving illegal advice on how to hide money from prostitution

Brooklyn prosecutors on Monday cleared ACORN of criminal wrongdoing after a four-month probe that began when undercover conservative activists filmed workers giving what appeared to be illegal advice on how to hide money.

"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

6. ACORN has become a code word

For the racist right.

I doubt they will pay any attention to reality.

Edit to add: the narrative is that ACORN forced the poor banks to loan money to poor people! Poor people swindled Citigroup and Bank of America! They are victims of minimum wage workers!
