It is simply amazing — in addition to calling for an investigation of ACORN as a result of the recent exposition of ACORN’s corruption antics, Conyers and Frank are asking that James O’Keefe and Hanah Giles, the videographers, be investigated as well.
The duo in Congress want to see what federal laws the videographers may have broken. Is this not a job for our prosecutors, not our legislators? Rep. Barney Frank and John Conyers should make sure that ACORN is fully investgated!!
Baltimore Prosecutor May Go After Filmmakers in ACORN Scandal

James O’Keefe‘s foray into filmmaking may cost him a few years in the slammer.
O’Keefe and fellow conservative activist/budding investigative journalist Hannah Giles were the ones who dressed up like a pimp and a prostitute, respectively (or not), and went to the offices of the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) in D.C. and Baltimore looking for advice on how to buy a house.
The resulting video caused quite a commotion and resulted in the firing of four ACORN employees, as well as other repercussions for those who support the organization.
In Maryland, it’s against the law to tape a person without their prior permission. It’s also illegal to “willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio,” Baltimore City State Attorney Patricia Jessamy said in a statement released late Friday.
She added: “The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to five years.”
The Baltimore City State Attorney’s Office is investigating the matter
NOTE: No word from the State Attorney’s Office on any investigation into ACORN.
