ACORN embezzlement scandal trial

More scandal surronding Obama's ACORN.

"A co-worker alerted Wade Rathke, who consulted with a few of ACORN's national leaders. When the group's longtime accountants at the New Orleans firm Duplantier, Hrapmann Hogan & Maher conducted an audit and found that $948,507 had been stolen, the Rathke family set up a formal repayment schedule. Dale Rathke was removed as comptroller at CCI, but he stayed on as a consultant at ACORN. "


So how did the repayments work out?

"The Rathke family repaid about $214,000 starting in 2001 through a loan taken out by CCI, and a California donor, Drummond Pike, recently stepped in and repaid the remaining debt. "


Nice, eh? CCI took out the loan and Pike repaid the rest. So, bottom line they never paid the stolen money back.

But who is this "California donor" Pike anyway?

"Secrecy, pass-through, and lobbying guru for hundreds of left-wing groups and their funders
"


Pike founded the Tides foundation and get this: "Wade Rathke, ACORN co-founder, has been a Tides director from the start."

Taking care of their own, eh?

More here.

Who else does Pike give money to? Obama of course.
