Source: John Edwards Buying Rielle Hunter Silence
Celebrity Blend ^ | 7/30/08 | staff

Refusing to call it quits despite being dissed by mainstream media, The National Enquirer has released more scandalous John Edwards allegations!

The celebrity gossip tabloid reports that Edwards’ alleged mistress / baby-mama, Rielle Hunter (also known as Lisa Druck), will not say a word about their affair and love child because she’s being paid to zip it - $15,000 a month!

The money is reportedly being funneled to Hunter by a colleague of John Edwards, the former U.S. Senator from North Carolina, 2004 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee (running with John Kerry) and 2008 presidential candidate.

This same man is also supposedly paying off John Edwards’ friend and aide, Andrew Young, who tried to take the heat off the ex-Senator when the story broke in December by claiming he fathered the baby of Rielle Hunter.

A campaign insider told the National Enquirer the following: “A super-rich pal – who was closely involved with the campaign finances – is helping John. It’s likely this man doesn’t know all the dirty details of John’s extramarital affair, but is acting out of loyalty and is not asking a lot of questions – just writing the checks.”

John Edwards has spoken only briefly (and awkwardly) in sort of denying the story.

......If the gift is proven....

At the very least, she is a nanny to the father’s child

I had him pegged for a Nancy-boy.

He may have mistaken her for a man in drag initially...becoming an accidental sperm donor in the heat of the moment.

What’s Olberman had to say about this? Nothing? What a shock! He’s too busy trashing Fox for firing him.

A very simple way would be to give her a Mastercard from a Cayman Islands Bank an there would be no obvious trace or paper trail.

Privacy of Mastercard and Visa transactions from the Cayman Islands went to the wayside several years ago.

Edwards has taken a whole lot of money from baby doctors. The
way the law looks at it, the larger the piggy bank that made the blessing the more that blessing and the whore that begot it gets in shake down money.
