Whatever Became of ACORN's 'Internal Investigation'?

On September 29th, when ACORN is under full public scrutiny in the aftermath of the undercover video sting, it announced with great fanfare that it was launching a thorough and independent review of its operations. It named Scott Harshbarger, former Massachusetts Attorney General, to head up this review.

Mr. Harshbarger promised to release preliminary findings of his review at the end of October. Monday is the end of November and his preliminary findings don’t seem any closer to release.

Still, ACORN has recently filed suit against the federal government to restore its federal funding. And just this week, Eric Holder’s Justice Department issued a ruling saying federal agencies could ignore Congressional bans on funding and could continue to pay ACORN for existing contracts.

Sounds like ACORN is tying to go back to ‘business-as-usual.’ So, whatever became of that review? And, why are we the only ones asking that question?
