I have a piece in today’s American Spectator about Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and ACORN.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who heads a congressional subcommittee that may be investigating ACORN in the not-too-distant future, has been providing advice to ACORN's lawyer, according to a new report. Nadler, a longtime ACORN ally, is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights, and civil liberties. Lincoln Anderson, a reporter for the Villager, writes that earlier this month while he attended at the office of ACORN's New York-based lawyer Arthur Z. Schwartz to interview him, a telephone call came in from Nadler:
Midway through the interview with The Villager last Thursday, Schwartz got a phone call from Congressmember Jerrold Nadler. The West Side congressmember -- one of only about a dozen Democrats to oppose the Defund ACORN Act -- was calling Schwartz's attention to an e-mail that had been forwarded to him, detailing a directive from two weeks earlier to federal agencies, implementing the act. The directive not only ordered agencies to cease funding ACORN and all its subcontractors, but cancel all funding allocated in previous years. The memo had been found -- where else? -- on a right-wing blog.
