Expect this “investigation” to go nowhere. ACORN got Obama elected, and their armies of phantom voters assure Democrat power. The Democrats will not pursue any investigation of corruption where they are the beneficiaries.

More than likely, Congress will want to funnel even more taxpayer funds to ACORN to further the liberal agenda which of course is their sole purpose for existance.
As for investigating ACORN, you can bet Congress will do a bang-up job, as they did with AIG.
