The case has taken a dramatic turn...there are now a whopping 20 subpoenas and the investigation may well stretch beyond the Rielle Hunter controversy, and perhaps extend to the inner workings of his former Senate office, or even to the actions of Elizabeth Edwards....
John Edwards...might have thought he’d dodged a bullet when the long investigation into whether he funneled campaign money to Rielle Hunter, the mother of his 2-year-old love child, seemed to stall.
U.S. Attorney George Holding has issued as many as 20 subpoenas, bringing a whole new gaggle of secret witnesses to the grand jury in Raleigh, North Carolina, the case has taken an dramatic turn. Why are the subpoenas being issued now—two years after the investigation began?..
The sheer number of subpoenas is a telling clue. According to former Edwards staffers who wish to remain anonymous, there were far fewer than 20 people in the loop about how Edwards funded his “Hide Hunter” scheme...those in the inner circle of confidants—including Chief of Staff Miles Lackey; Jonathan Price who, according the sources, “handled all things Rielle;” and Nick Baldick and Alexis Barr, who possessed the check-writing ability connected to Edwards’ nonprofit groups—are believed to have already testified before the grand jury. So these subpoenas seem to indicate that the feds are looking beyond questions surrounding how Hunter got money.

What a hypocrite. Typical Democratic behavior.
“Two Americas,” and all that...
sooo.... the man has a huge wallet, goes around the country stumping for office, but he neglects to hire a personal assistant for his sick wife...what a jerk.
Ohhh yeah. That’s what is making it so juicy: When libs start to eat their own.
Someone really wants him gone or it’s being used as a big distraction.
Did you ever get the chance to read the book written by his former aide, Andrew Young? They treated him like their butler.
“Two Americas,”
Agreed. One that drinks the MSM bathwater, and the other, real America, that understands the MSM bias and gets their news elsewhere.
Well, sick or not, she's a jerk too.
This doesn't make me feel any better. There are more of them than there are of us.
But on the other hand--we can easily outthink them. I suppose that's how the human race has survived this long.
He should have known, all he had to say is ‘’ you’ve enjoyed kissing Clintons’ axx for 15 years, you can just kiss mine for 30 years.’’ After all it’s only about sex.
Yes! All that’s lacking is Wackford Squeers (my absolute fave.)
