ACORN paid for the Proskauer Rose investigation there is a feeling that the report is compromised - Gee Ya Think?

Proskauer Rose is above the Law, an investigation on them would simply only lead to pay off after pay off.. well yes I am speculating, I don't know obviously however there is so much room for corruption and trillions of dollars to work with so how hard could it be to pay people to lie and in this economy... Paid to Lie is probably one of the best jobs left out there.

"NPQ on ACORN Investigation Results

The Editors
Initial press coverage of Monday’s report by former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger mostly described the conclusions of the report, focusing primarily on whether ACORN staff had engaged in potentially illegal behaviors in videotaped interactions with two people posing as a pimp and a prostitute (Harshbarger’s report found no actionable illegal behavior).

Although Nonprofit Quarterly only reported on Harshbarger’s report, some NPQ readers were critical of both Harshbarger and the NPQ for seemingly whitewashing ACORN’s managerial and ethical indiscretions.

In related news yesterday, several nonprofits, including seven civil rights and advocacy organizations including the Alliance for Justice and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights condemned Congress for having cut off government funding to ACORN in advance of an investigation that exonerated ACORN at least in terms of whether ACORN staff did anything expressly illegal.

So where does Nonprofit Quarterly stand on the ACORN imbroglio?
Nonprofit Quarterly believes in the important role of nonprofit organizations that give voice and influence and representation to disadvantaged and disenfranchised communities. In fact, they should be powerful organizations.

That does not mean that they can and should presume themselves above the precepts of good governance and good management, particularly important for the largest organizations by whose size and influence set the moral and ethical tone for the field. This is why Nonprofit Quarterly believes that ACORN bears a special responsibility to own up to, address, and affirmatively correct the problems identified in the Harshbarger report. "

Proskauer Rose is Not Capable of Independent Investigation in my Opinion, they have to many political connections, Supreme Court Connection, and well they are just to "affiliated" with to many layers of the justice system, courts and politics to be independent at all..
