Who Began the Cover Up with an Attempt to Scrub the Web Clean of Rielle Hunter References?
Cover up included Jets, Multi-Million Dollar Houses, Gated Communities and Hush Money
Another Mystery for the Late-charging Media
Who in the John Edwards' campaign started the cover up of Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter? It was an operation that costs millions and involved a web of schemes that are still unraveling. It's a question the Mainstream Media hasn't asked yet, but it has to be on the agenda, now that they're finally covering the story.
The cover up began with erasing information about Hunter from the Internet; progressed later to moving Hunter from the NYC area to North Carolina within five miles of the Edwards campaign headquarters and setting her up in houses owned by Edwards' backers; and, at one point involved millionaire trial lawyer, Fred Baron, and the revelations that millions were spent jetting Hunter and Edwards' campaign operative--and fall guy--across the country to reside in multi-million dollar houses.
Hunter and Young, according to reports, have also been receiving hush money payments to keep their mouths shut.
Who initiated all of this? Where did that money come from?

John Edwards said he was unaware of any attempts to hide his affair with Hunter.
So did friend and big backer, Fred Baron, according to his statement: Baron was just helping out old friend friends and John Edwards didn't know about it. In light of the flood of information now coming out, Edwards' claims haven't held up very well.

The question should be: “Who ran the coverup at NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS and the print media?” My guess would be...
THE DNC.
My question is - why is the story coming out NOW - it’s been hovering out here for some time. NOW, it’s all we’re hearing about.
Because the opera isn't over until the fat lady sings - and she's just hired a new songwriter.
That’s what I’ve been thinking.
Don't forget FOX. Bill O'Reilly covered it up as well so as to not hurt Breckboy's wife.
Bill O’Reilly is in the tank for BHo, it’s no wonder he wants to protect John Boy. BO’ is just lookin’ out for the folks/sarc.
Hillary is clearing the floor.
Edwards himself. He then engaged his financial guy. Follow the money.
IRS would be looking into it - unless it wants to give a pass like it did to Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Thanks for the comments....why the timing, why now?
The MSM’s refusal to report for 9 months had a LOT to do with it...actually, it was their refusal to investigate prior to July that set the pace.
But Edwards himself getting caught by the Enquirer actually set the schedule...he doesn’t get caught....the story’s still out there in cyber space like it was back in December-June, when I was called a “conspiracy theorist” in more than one email and comment.
Thanks again for reading and taking the time to comment.
Keep me out of this mess.
