Bob Bauer, the campaign's general counsel, said on a conference call that it seemed law enforcement officials were in cahoots with the Republican operatives.
Bauer referred to the Associated Press report Thursday that quoted officials as saying the FBI had opened an investigation into ACORN. The report said the FBI was looking at recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for evidence of a national scam.
The campaign's letter to Mukasey suggested the "leaks" were allowed as part of a Justice Department "collusion."

I think there are those in the media that do not want to run afoul of the Obama Administration. One letter from Obama's lawyer, and Bush stenographers CNN, Fox News, and the Associated PRess reverse course and actually do something called.... journalism.

As reported by Brad Blog
Tanner told audience members during the panel on October 5th, that while it was a "shame" that the elderly would, in fact, be disenfranchised by the law he approved on behalf of the DoJ, minorities would have less to worry about because, as he told the stunned room, "Our society is such that minorities don't become elderly the way white people do. They die first."
