Brooklyn DA clears ACORN in videotaped scandal

The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office says it has found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of three ACORN employees caught on video advising a couple posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend.

The office said Monday its five-month inquiry is over and no criminality was found.

The videos were made by conservative activists Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, who used a hidden camera on visits to ACORN offices in Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., California and elsewhere.

Since then, O’Keefe has been arrested after visiting Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office in New Orleans. He denies trying to tamper with the Democrat’s phones.

The Brooklyn video caught ACORN workers apparently advising the pair to bolster their housing application by lying about Giles’ profession and laundering her earnings.
