National Enquirer: Former Sen. Edwards Facing "Imminent" Indictment

Former Democratic Sen. John Edwards is facing “imminent” indictment relating to his use of campaign funds to cover up an extramarital affair during his 2008 presidential run, according to The National Enquirer. A grand jury has been investigating the North Carolinian's use of the funds since April, and the Enquirer quotes a friend of Edwards saying that, although the former candidate does not believe he did anything wrong, he is “terrified” that he will be made an example of in this case. And in a soap opera twist, Elizabeth Edwards may in fact testify against her estranged husband, The Hill reported. The report is being taken seriously because the tabloid has led the reporting of Edwards' affair with filmmaker Rielle Hunter, and its pursuit of the story has earned it an unexpected Pulitzer Prize nomination.

I know of a former corporate CEO who pulled an "Enron" nine years ago. After a federal grand jury investigation, he was indicted on 32 counts! To this day he is walking around a free man, getting legal delay after legal delay. The justice system is broken when it comes to the rich and powerful. My guess is that, if Edwards is indicted, he'll never see a trial, and certainly not prison.

Isn’t it amazing that to get the real news about Democrats you have to go to the Tabloids...

The main stream media is dead in America it has destroyed its sacred first ammendment trust in favor of Politics....

I forget if it’s a Murphy’s, Parkinson’s, law, or corollary or what. But you know how clutter grows to fill the available space? It’s like that with dough. There’s no heap of it lying around with no place to go. If he had $30M, he spent $29.9M at least. At least.

Yeah, I get you... but, sheesh, take out a loan against the yacht, or something! Don't use Campaign Funds, that could get you thrown in prison. I mean, thinking that you wouldn't get caught, that takes some pretty incredible narcissism, hubris, and...

Oh, right. I forgot. It's John Edwards.
