I'm referring entirely to the sequencing of revelations in these respective scandals.
Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com first released one taken at the Baltimore office, followed by Washington, D.C. After the first or second, the head of ACORN said "Well, yes, but we threw them out of the office at A, B, New York City, etc."
Then Breitbart released the one in NYC. Lather, rinse, repeat.
(It's a bit misleading to say "the MA-AG cleared them", seeing as how that was the execrable (Amiraults) former MA-AG Scott Harshbarger, who was hired by ACORN for an "independent" inquiry.)
