[history]
A federal grand jury has indicted two-time presidential candidate John Edwards in a campaign finance investigation.
The criminal charges filed Friday came after a two-year federal investigation into money used to cover up an extramarital affair during the 2008 presidential election.
Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina, said in a statement through his attorney in 2009 that he was confident no funds from his campaign were used improperly.
But federal officials have said the hundreds of thousands of dollars two Edwards donors gave to help keep his mistress in hiding were contributions that should have been reported publicly by his campaign fund because they aided his bid for the Democratic White House nomination.

For a campaign finance scandal that absolutely dwarfs this, Hillary paid no price whatsoever. Amazing.

She does have nice hair, though, let’s not forget.

Hussein is probably giddy over this. The Edwards story will likely knock the bad unemployment data news out of the headlines.
To: DCBryan1
He’ll plead to lesser charges, pay back the money, give up his law license and that’s about it. I seriously doubt he goes to jail.

Now, I think we should all take a moment to reflect on this, and show ourselves to be bigger people by NOT gloating or expressing any joy or pleasure over this news. We are, after all, adults, and better people, and, and, and....

Edwards is probably wondering right now whether federal prisons provide appropriate hair care products...

That's gonna require another do will be what the lawyers will say. Maybe scKerry will have to show up and testify. Naw, two peas in the same pod (courtroom) is unlikely.

I agree. I don’t understand how they have gone after this guy when there are others who have done worse and are making themselves filthy rich off the American taxpayer. Hillary and Bill the rapist are two examples

Apparently Liz spent her final days preparing her oldest daughter (age 26?) for the task of raising the younger kids and set up her estate to separte and shelter her/their assets from his
Just look at what this man did and what he lost and what he did to his kids, for a few months of pooty tang with a new age nut-job.

Every time he is mentioned I think of the SNL skit where he goes in to see his tax accountant: “Mr. Edwards, as I recall, you need to update your filing status from ‘married’ to ‘disgusting’.”
