MyDD's Jerome Armstrong has secured a statement from Rielle Hunter, the woman with whom John Edwards has been accused of having an affair.
From MyDD's site:
"The innuendoes and lies that have appeared on the internet and in the National Enquirer concerning John Edwards are not true, completely unfounded and ridiculous. My video production company was hired by the Edwards camp on a 6 month contract, which we completed December 31, 2006.
When working for the Edwards camp, my conduct as well as the conduct of my entire team was completely professional.
This concocted story is just dirty politics and I want no part of it."
Technically, I wish Hunter had said flatly: "I had no sexual affair of any kind with John Edwards." Some on the right will read her statement as a non-denial denial.
But at least someone has said something in defense of Edwards as he has been quiet. If the veracity of Hunter's denial is solid, then Edwards and/or Hunter should demand a retraction from the National Enquirer and sue if they don't get it.
Interesting!
“completely professional”
For a hooker, yes.
Typical politics
Was he “lying” when he DENIED the affair or was he “lying” when he admitted the affair.
I am losing sleep over this question. /s
Can’t these losers just go away?
They are so attention starved it wouldn’t surprise me is half this $hit is made up to keep their names on the surface.
Like the LAPD said about the paparazzi—behave yourself and no one will give a rats arse what you do.
some kind of time warp?
(I should have read the title again)
And we expected this hooker to say “I took illegal payoff/hush money, paid from Edwards campaign coffers, and should be indicted.” ...?
She’s a liar, just like her boy toy.
Edwards campaign procured her services.
Title tells us this happened in Oct 2007. Wake up guys!:) Just goes to show you how they all lie their butts off.
completely professional
For a hooker, yes.
It is the first profession.
So when was he lying? When he said he had an affair or said he didn’t?
Her statement seems useless at this point.
That was my thought...
Mostly likely they were lying during the affair.
To think we may have Edwards “friend” in the White House...
AH! The real two Americas!
The comments at the Washington Note were very interesting!
There is another “untruth” in her statement.
She apparently did not ‘complete’ her contract — she was fired.
“Darman wrote a small story about Edwards hiring a woman he had met in a bar that appeared in the Dec. 25, 2006, issue of Newsweek.
When he saw her again a few weeks later, Hunter said she’d been fired by the campaign and blamed Elizabeth Edwards.
“’Someday,’ Rielle said, ‘the truth about her is going to come out,’” Darman wrote.”
