Edwards' bag man says he's only known about affair for a few weeks
The Charlotte Observer ^ | Aug 13, 2008

Fred Baron now claims that he moved Young and Hunter, gave them money, but didn't know about the affair until a few weeks ago...

The former campaign finance chairman for John Edwards said this morning he was unaware of Edwards' affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter when he paid to move her to California last year.

In an e-mail this morning to The News & Observer, Dallas lawyer Fred Baron wrote, "I will re-state what I have previously stated on one point: I learned of the affair only a few weeks ago and had previously presumed that the 'tabloid' stuff was all bogus..."

...A key national fundraiser for Democratic Party causes, Baron released his own statement Friday declaring that he had decided independently, without notifying Edwards, to help Hunter and Young "rebuild their lives when harassment by supermarket tabloids made it impossible for them to conduct a normal life." He paid for their move from Chapel Hill to California...

...According to an article published Sunday, Baron told The New York Post that Hunter, Young and Young's family lived together in California until tension in the household grew.

"They lived in a single house most of the time and split to two houses recently," Baron told The Post.

LOL. If anyone’s got strong pimp hand here, it’s Rielle Hunter. Look at how many people she’s got jumping to keep her happy.

She, and others like her, are the only winners in these deals. That's because they are amoral and everything in their lives is about self love.

Emotional parts of Elizabeth and their children have been destroyed that can't be fixed.

This Fred Barron has got sleaze written all over him... with a history of supporting Democrapic loosers...

Fundraiser now on Obama team

You gotta love this little tid-bit from the article: "He insists that his assistance to Ms. Hunter and Andrew Young, the man who claims to be the father of her child, was an effort to get them away from the tabloid press. He said Mr. Edwards did not know about the arrangement."

I call B.S. here... I/we all know it is hush money... hopefully the IRS will have the short ones to go after this Baron turd.

As time moves on, I suspect others who know a lot about this deal will be “spilling the beans” on Johnny Boy. This one isn’t going to disappear soon. For some reason, a lot of people are angry about all this. The “happily ever after” may not happen for John. Baron will go down with him.

Has Edwards or Hunter said what he was doing at her hotel at 2am?

Obviously, they were making the “beast with two backs”.

Edwards’ skank knows a gravy train when she sees one — but unfortunately she is so stupid she missed the express train to riches..

If Edwards is the father of her son — there is a vast fortune she can lay claim to.....via a paternity suit.

The “settlement” would be a lot more than the skank change he’s throwing to her so far......and it would be coming directly from his PERSONAL FUNDS not the dwindling campaign funds....

As soon as Elizabeth suspects the skank is going after HER children’s’ inheritance — all hell will break loose...

That huge mansion Silky Pony built - won’t be nearly big enough to put enough space between himself and Elizabeth...
