A couple of weeks ago, in a post about ACORN‘s execrable vote-fraud activities, I asked:

ACORN has proved itself to be an ongoing criminal organization. It’s time we did something about it. RICO anyone?

It looks like that wish could come true. Freepers in Chicago are hearing rumbles:

Tonight we talked to someone who works in the federal courts here in Chicago.

The buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a RICO case.

After Fitzgerald’s questionable and vindictive prosecution of the Scooter Libby/Valerie Plame case, he needs a reputation-cleansing case. Could this be it?
