A New York prosecutor'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 Brooklyn district attorney's office said Monday that its five-month inquiry is over and that no criminal activity was found.

The videos were made by conservative activists Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, who used a hidden camera on visits to offices of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

O'Keefe and Giles - who visited ACORN offices in several cities, including its Brooklyn headquarters - stirred controversy when they posted the videos on their Web site.

They were hailed as heroes by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and their footage led several government agencies to temporarily cut funding for ACORN as the prosecutors opened an investigation.

emphasis mine.

Two things,

1. When do they get their funding back?
2. When do they get an apology?

sorry if this is a dupe, I had to scream.

1. They need funding and a HUGE apology

from all the media outlets that made such a big f'ing deal about this whole mess. (Like THAT will ever happen....)

[EFerrari]

2. Congress needs to APOLOGIZE to ACORN.

[mzteris]

3. they should be suing

some peoples imo...

[Canuckistanian]

4. Same old story

HUGE media coverage when it breaks. Retraction on page 37 of the Buffalo News when it's debunked.

5. How, without a Democratic majority?

Oh wait....

[newtothegame]

6. Even though it wasn't considered criminal, the behavior displayed...

may still be considered unworthy of funding. Wouldn't surprise me.

7. Too late. National ACORN dissolving, regional affiliates changing names.

So Mission Accomplished for the GOP. I'd like to scream, too.
