the employees didn't take it seriously but played along and stopped them when they asked about doing something illegal, and then they edited the tapes to make it look like they were seriously going in to ask for advice and the employees only gave serious answers about how to break the law.
From the looks of it, the ACORN employees did give serious answers in how to violate the law. I mean, editing things out of context is done every day to target all kinds of organizations, and indeed, the POTUS, and has been done for a long time.
Did the employees give advice on how to run an illegal sex trafficking business? Yes. Did they think it was serious? Probably not. Is it illegal to give such advice? Not that I'm aware of. Is it distasteful and immoral? Probably.
They weren't convicted of any criminal wrongdoing, nothing happened to the employees. They simply lost their funding for being hoebags who'd rather give advice on a sex trafficking ring than tell O'Keefe to gtfo and possibly report him to police.
Note: I'm playing devils advocate here, but this is the perfect example of one of those "Entrapment schemes". There's no "fabrication". The employees said what they said. That's what led to their loss of funding and ended up wiping out ACORN.
I still need evidence of an actual fabrication. Just as with the "sharpee-memo" shit, if it's a hoax it's a hoax. If it's stupid people giving stupid advise and losing their funding over it, that's their own fault for being stupid.
