I think there’s an even chance that the NE retracts the story, at least the part about the photos.

Possible.

But I think they have him dead to rights.

They have been on this story since last fall (I believe October) when they first published the accusation.
He claimed the story was false but as a lawyer he knows he can make that statement if only 1% of the story is incorrect.

If the accusations were substantially false it seems that he would have hauled them into court for libel.

But that would give them acess to information and evidence that could prove their case.
Edwards would be deposed about his personal life and he probably doesn't want that.

If the Enquirerer story is true a lawsuit by Edwards would work for them and against him.
So far he hasn't taken any action and I know he wouldn't miss a chance to rake in a few million in damages.

I think there’s a story here. I’m just not sure it’s the one NE thinks it is.

Dems are pressuring Edwards to address the claims.
