Jake Tapper is reporting:
Glenn Fine, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice today wrote to the Chairman and Ranking Republican of the House Judiciary Committee – Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Lamar Smith, R-Texas — informing them that his office is planning on opening a review into whether ACORN applied for or received any Justice Department grants or funds and whether or not the Justice Department ever carried out any audits or reviews of those funds.
You can read the letter HERE.
In a statement, Smith said that the IG’s report “will help Congress ensure that money allocated to support law enforcement efforts is not instead used to support criminal conduct. It is clear that ACORN has fostered a culture of corruption. With investigations of ACORN now occurring in 20 states, it is time for the FBI to open up a full scale investigation into possible criminal conduct by ACORN.”
I don’t get it…Why all the fuss about something that is “not an important issue facing the country”?
Michelle Malkin says: Keep these IGs in your prayers. Watchdogs are an endangered species in the Age of Obama.

For the sake of this country we had better have someone look into things. People need to get even more alarmed and double those demonstrations we had in D.C.
