One Robert Bauer writes to Attorney General Michael Mukasey:

"It is apparent,'' he wrote, that law enforcement officials are serving "improper political objectives...''

You're damn right there, Mr. Bauer. You're damn right...


Oh, wait. The thing is, Bauer isn't complaining about the Missouri law enforcement officials acting as an Obama Truth Squad at all. No, it turns out he's bitching about this:

Obama's campaign attorney said the investigation should look into a leak to the news media that the FBI is probing allegations of voter registration fraud by a grassroots organization called ACORN. The group's activities were denounced by Republican nominee John McCain in the Oct. 15 presidential debate.

Robert Bauer, general counsel to the Obama campaign, wrote to Attorney General Michael Mukasey a day after the Associated Press, citing unidentified law enforcement officials, reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was investigating ACORN. The name is short for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

That's right. Robert Bauer, Obama's campaign attorney, is complaining about the idea that the FBI might be investigating ACORN for voter fraud, claiming that the aim of the investigations is to "suppress the vote and to unduly influence investigations and prosecutions."

Un-fucking-believable.

Update: The McCain campaign responds.
