Lord Almighty, More ACORN Corruption… San Diego ACORN Caught on Tape Dumping Confidential Documents (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on November 24, 2009
The video below is downright creepy. In October, ACORN employees at the San Diego office were caught on video tape throwing away thousands of confidential documents in a dumpster following the San Diego child prostitution sting exposé initiated by journalists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles. Not only that, but David Lagstein, the head of ACORN in California, was also caught on audio tape at a public forum. Big Government reports the following:
On October 1st, 2009 California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced that an investigation had been opened into ACORN’s activities in California, resulting from undercover videos showing employees seemingly offering to assist the undercover film makers with human smuggling, child prostitution and even tax advice to boot.
Although ACORN has denied any wrongdoing, some of the employees involved were terminated, and ACORN has publicly stated that they would fully cooperate with any investigations that followed.
Interestingly, the local head ACORN organizer in California, David Lagstein was caught on tape earlier this month speaking to an East County Democratic Club.
Mr. Lagstein stated: “…the attorney general is a political animal, but certainly every bit of the communication we have had with them has suggested that the fault will be found with the people that did the video and not the people with ACORN.”
Continuing, Mr. Lagstein stated: “…we are fully cooperating, some of the investigators visited our office this morning and I think they really understand what’s going on.”
Shockingly, we now learn that the ACORN office in National City (San Diego County) engaged in a massive document dump on the evening of October 9th, containing thousands upon thousands of sensitive documents, just days prior to the Attorney General’s visit.
San Diego ACORN Document Dump
Absolutely stunning.
What will it take for a real investigation of ACORN? Why is our government—more specifically, the DEMOCRAT PARTY—playing footsies with this corrupt organization? How wide-reaching is ACORN in our government system? How deeply involved are state Attorney General Jerry Brown and/or Attorney General Eric Holder in this criminal cover-up? Who gave the orders for this massive ACORN document dump?
More from the post’s author, Derrick Roach:
BigGovernment.com has learned that not only did this document dump occur, but the documents in question were irresponsibly and brazenly dumped in a public dumpster, without considering laws and regulations as to how sensitive information should be treated.
I am a local licensed private investigator. I took it upon myself to keep an eye on what the local ACORN office was up to, in light of the release of the undercover videos. I retrieved these documents from the public dumpster.
Read it all and see photos of the retrieved documents at Big Government.

About the author
We’ll see how Holder, and Obama, spin this information away from the media.
Along with the recent hacking of “global warning statistics”.
Next year will be exhilarating for the conservatives.
The main thing we need to concern ourselves with is the attempt to resist internet blogs, radio, and TV, that promote conservative values.
I think ACORN has a long history of getting into trouble with the law for less that ethical methods of registering voters.
Thank you for the sensible critique.
